When going for your dental implant procedure, we put you under a local anesthetic with sedation. We make it so that you feel the minimum amount of pain possible. During the operation, we cut into your gums to access the jawbone.
We then drill into your jawbone. The hole we make in your gums will be where we input the titanium posts. Once the posts are in place, we stitch up the area. As you heal, the titanium will merge with the surrounding bones in your jaw, providing a solid structure.
The procedure lasts approximately a half hour. Recovery is on a case-to-case basis. Naturally, the more implants you get, the longer the recovery process. Expect at least a month before full recovery.
