Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. Some soreness afterward is expected, but most patients manage it well with prescribed or over-the-counter medication and cold compresses.
An implant acts as an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone. After healing, an abutment and crown are attached. Many patients say an implant feels and functions like a natural tooth.
Options may include local anesthesia, oral sedation, or IV sedation. The choice depends on the procedure and your comfort needs. Safety protocols and monitoring are used throughout.
Simple extractions often heal in one to two weeks. Wisdom teeth removal usually takes one to two weeks for soft tissue recovery. Implants and grafts require several months for bone integration.
