What to ask an implant specialist

Below, are some of the most common questions that patients should ask their implant specialist. Keep reading to find out more. 

1. How do dental implants work?

An implant specialist can explain how dental implants work and what they can do for a patient's teeth. In short, the dentist will install an implant into a person's bone as a way to replace the original tooth’s structure and support. Once the implants fuse with the bone, the implant specialist will place permanent artificial tooth atop the implant.

2. How long does it take for the implant to fuse?

When asking an implant specialist how long the fusing process will take, it is good to prepare for the answer, because it can be surprising. While every person’s body is different, the average time for fusing tends to last a few months. An implant specialist will do everything that they can to speed up this process, but it is best not to rush it so that the implants work effectively.

3. Will people notice dental implants?

Implant specialists encourage people to get dental implants as a way to replace missing teeth. These tooth replacement options are not noticeable, which is seen as advantageous because other options are quite noticeable, such as dentures.

4. Will dental implants hurt?

A lot of people wonder whether or not their dental implants will hurt when being placed, and that is a great question. An implant specialist can explain that there may be some pain, but it can be managed and remedied easily.
