Are dental implants safe?

Despite dental implants being unfamiliar to some, periodontists have extensively used them for years. In 1965, an orthopedic surgeon, Branmark, performed the first titanium dental implant. Technology has made huge strides since then. Dental implants are a leading solution for tooth replacement, providing a safe and reliable option when other treatments aren’t suitable.

Is there anything I can do to prepare for a dental implant?

If you want to prepare for a dental implant in Charlotte, there are a few things you can do: Stop taking Omega-3 and Vitamin E supplements and any supplements containing them for 7 days prior to procedure. Refrain from taking NSAIDs and any anticoagulants (aspirin, baby aspirin, Motrin, Advil, etc) 7 days prior to procedure. Abstain from taking steroids or using any Retinol-based products to including those with Vitamin C and A for at least 3 days prior to procedure. Avoid alcohol 3 days prior to the procedure. Begin prophylactic antiviral and/or antibiotic treatment for viral conditions such as Herpes Simplex Virus.

After you get a dental implant in Charlotte, you might experience any and all of these after effects of the surgery: Swelling of the gums and face Bruising of the skin and gums Pain at the implant site Minor bleeding All of this is normal during healing. The stitches in your mouth will also fully dissolve. If you have dissolvable stitches, consume soft foods for the first day after your appointment.

How long will my new dental implant last?

It takes about 3 months for a new implant to integrate into bone. You don’t need any recovery time for the restoration of a crown. Your new dental implant will last 20 years or more. That fact alone is a great reason to choose an implant over a removable denture or temporary bridge.
