Dental implants are usually placed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the implant procedure itself.

After the anesthesia wears off, some discomfort or temporary swelling may occur, and its severity varies depending on the number of implants, the nature of the case, and any accompanying procedures.

The duration of an implant session depends on the number of implants, their location, the condition of the bone, and whether additional procedures are needed before or during implant placement.

Some cases are straightforward and simple, while more complex cases may require additional time and treatment steps.

Treatment duration varies from one case to another depending on the condition of the bone and gums, the number of teeth that need replacement, and the type of final restoration.

After the examination, the required treatment stages can be determined and the patient can be given a clearer estimate of the expected duration.

Yes, in many cases dental implants can be placed even years after a tooth has been lost.

However, long-term tooth loss may be accompanied by a reduction in bone volume, so the bone and gums must be evaluated before determining the appropriate treatment plan.

Suitability for dental implants cannot be determined without evaluating the individual case. General health, gum health, bone volume, and oral hygiene are all taken into consideration.

Some cases may require additional treatment or preparation before beginning the implant stage.

Both options are used to replace missing teeth, but the treatment approach differs between them.

The most appropriate treatment is selected after evaluating the adjacent teeth, the condition of the bone and gums, and the patient’s treatment needs.

The number of visits varies depending on the type of treatment and the complexity of the case, so there is no fixed number that applies to every patient.

Some cases may require fewer or more visits depending on the treatment plan.
