Am I right to be worried about dental implant procedure?

Q. I have just lost a lower premolar. It was a very difficult extraction over 50 minutes to remove. I am thinking about an implant but nervious about how long it will take to put in an implant and if i will have any instruments or equipment in my mouth whilst the procedure is being done. I understand I will have local anesthetic similar to that used for extraction. What happens to the cut gum while the implant is being positioned? Thank you
A. a simple implant by an experienced operator will take less time than the extraction is is usually less intensive- you will be able to rest every few minutes. It should be a very straightforward treatment if it is well planned by an experienced dentist

Will I need to keep a soft diet when I get dental implant?

Q. During the recover time or healing time when the implant is given time to settle in is it necessary to keep a soft diet to keep the area from getting irritate? Are we talking about soup and bread and generally soft food?
A. Hi Thanks for your question.

During the healing period immediately post surgery patients are usually advised to try and keep the area free from irritation for a couple of weeks. 

While the gum has healed the implant will still be integrating under the gum and you can generally eat as normal.  There is usually no need to stick to soup and bread during the whole process.

Once your treatment is complete you’ll be pleased to know that you can eat normally.

Hope that this helps.

Kind Regards

When does dental implant pain stop?

Q. I know from reading on here that it takes about three months for the implant to fully heal after it has been placed, but when does the pain from the implant actually stop. That is what I am most concerned about?
A. after implant surgery  majority of patients do not have and any pain. If you do, then this will last for a few days and can be easily managed by painkillers.

Can nervous patients have dental implants?

Q. I understand that dental implants require the use of drills and needles and all that horrible stuff. Do you think that in the near future some of the new laser or pain free technology that is coming into dentistry may make this procedure less scary?
A. Implants are placed under local anaesthetic, so the patient should not feel any pain. Some of my patients wish iv sedation which helps nervous patients.

What to do if crack in implant crown?

Q. I was palying football on saturday when I took a boot to the face. I later realised that there is a crack in the dental implant crown at the top right side of my mouth. It is quite noticeable and I am worried it will only get worse until the crown just falls out. Will I need to get another one or is there any way that this one can be salvaged?
A. hi many thanks for your email, if the implant crown has cracked, unfortunately the only option would be to replace the crown. hope this is helpful.
