Dental implants are a type of tooth replacement option that involve placing a small titanium post into the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root. A replacement tooth, or crown, is then placed on top of the post. This allows for a permanent, stable replacement tooth that functions just like a natural tooth.
During the procedure, patients are typically given a local anesthesia or IV sedation to ensure they are comfortable and pain-free. After the procedure, there may be some mild discomfort or swelling, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
After the implant placement, it is recommended to avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods for a few weeks to allow the implant site to heal. Once the implant is fully integrated and the replacement tooth is placed, you can eat whatever you want. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene, just like with your natural teeth.
Dental implants may be covered by dental insurance, but it depends on the individual policy. Some insurance plans will cover a portion of the cost, while others may not cover them at all. It is recommended to check with your insurance provider to see what is covered.
