Dental implants are procedures that create worry and fear in many people. Understanding and trusting your dentist is important, as well as knowing that this is an intervention that improves your overall health, not just your oral health.
Dental implants can also contribute to your self-esteem once you are able to smile and laugh without feeling self-conscious.
Usually, the fear comes from the worry that implants might be painful, but rest assured that this is a pain-free process, and it keeps you away from possible health problems and discomforts.
This is why, in this article, we will explain how dental implants work and why you shouldn't be afraid to get one.
If you have lost any teeth from injury or disease, dental implants are often the most effective way to replace them. They serve the function of a natural tooth and tooth root.
A dental implant is a surgical intervention that places the implant directly in the jaw tissue, replacing the original tooth root. As indicated, discomfort can be experienced but with today’s technology and medical advances, your dentist can provide a personalized, pain-free treatment for each patient in order to minimize pain and dental anxiety.
In today’s world, we can confidently state dental implants are virtually painless thanks to the new treatment techniques and modern technology.
Patients will receive either local anesthesia or sedation. That will be discussed with each individual and determined based on their personal needs. Dr. Schof will discuss with the patient their medical history and prepare the treatment steps based on the information received.
The dentist will use sedation to help the patient relax and remain comfortable during the surgery. It allows the person to reduce tension during the treatment, helping to create a safe and pain-free experience.
Dr. Schof is a sedation expert and can offer three types of sedation services:
We consider your own personal health aspects and concerns, levels of anxiety, and the dental treatment you need. This way we can provide sedation or other options to create a pain-free intervention and minimize discomfort after each step.
