Implant FAQs

Does an implant tooth hurt?
At Dr. Smile, all dental implants are done with local anesthesia. Most patients experience no pain during the process. If the area is mildly sore after receiving dental implants, an over-the-counter pain reliever is typically all that is needed.
How long does it take to treat dental implants?
The length of dental implant treatment might vary from a few months to more than a year. Implants can frequently be surgically inserted quickly after the evaluation and treatment plan are finished.
How Long Will Dental Implants Typically Last?
Dental implants can potentially last the entire life because they are made to last for decades. The lifetime of your implants will ultimately depend on your personal health behaviors, surgical technology, and clinical experience.
