Is ridge augmentation & socket preservation painful?
Most patients tolerate implant-related procedures very well. Local anesthesia and, when appropriate, sedation are used to keep you comfortable, and any post-treatment soreness is usually manageable.
How long does implant treatment take overall?
Timing depends on your case and healing. Some steps are completed in a single visit, while others require several months for the bone to integrate with the implant before the final crown or bridge is placed.
Are dental implants safe?
Yes. Dental implants are a well-established treatment with high success rates when planned carefully, placed correctly, and maintained with good home and professional care.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Many adults qualify, but your dentist will review your health, bone quality, gum condition, and goals to recommend the most predictable and safe option.
