What Should I Ask My Implant Specialist?

Dental implants have become a popular choice in tooth replacement, and with the help of an implant specialist, dental implants can help replace your missing teeth.

In this article, we discuss a few questions that you should ask your implant specialist when preparing for the dental implant process. These questions can be extremely helpful to you as you prepare for the surgery. Being aware of everything that you need to know can better help you during this process.

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.
