Though they\u2019re all better than living with gaps in your grin, dental implants are the option of choice for many patients and dentists alike. As popular as this procedure is, how safe is it? Keep reading to learn how the implant procedure works as well as if it\u2019s safe to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthysmileslansingdentist.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the Dental Implant Procedure Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the dental implant procedure begins, your dentist will administer a local anesthetic. This numbs the area and will keep you from feeling any discomfort or pain during treatment. For patients who are particularly fearful or those who have trouble reclining in the dental chair for long periods, dental sedation can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will start by making an incision in the gums so they can access the jawbone. They will then insert the implant into it. Over the next four to six months, the implant will fuse with the bone through osseointegration. Once you\u2019ve healed, they\u2019ll have you come back in to attach the restoration and complete the look of the new tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Dental Implants Safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants have a 95% success rate. This means that it\u2019s uncommon for patients to experience issues during the implant procedure. Even so, oral health problems like gum disease and cavities can present issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These problems are often the result of improper dental hygiene and can cause additional tooth loss or jawbone erosion if left untreated. The surrounding teeth will begin shifting to fill in the gaps, which will weaken them over time and may eventually cause them to break or fall out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, there is a small chance of oral surgery leading to serious health conditions, such as bleeding disorders, allergic reactions, or infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthy Smiles Dental Care of Lansing gives patients the quality, effective, and efficient oral health care they need to maintain healthy beams.
