Who can get dental implants?
Many adults may be candidates for dental implants when their gums are healthy and their jaw has enough bone to support an implant. If bone has been lost, bone grafting may be recommended first. A clinical assessment allows our dentist to determine whether implants are appropriate for you.
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the treatment area during implant placement. You may feel pressure during the procedure, and some discomfort or swelling afterward is common. The experience and recovery time vary from person to person, and our team will explain how to manage discomfort.
What happens if I don’t replace a missing tooth?
A missing tooth can allow nearby teeth to shift and may affect your bite or chewing. The jawbone in the area can also change over time. Replacing a missing tooth may help maintain function and support the surrounding smile.
How soon can I return to work after implant surgery?
Many people return to work the next day or within a few days, but recovery varies with the procedure, your health and the type of work you do. Dr. Khalid will give you guidance based on your treatment plan.
What if my jawbone isn’t strong enough?
If the jawbone is too thin or has changed after tooth loss, bone grafting may be recommended. Graft material is placed in the area to help rebuild support for a future implant. Our team will assess your jaw and explain whether this step is needed.
Are dentures or implants better?
Both options can work well, but they meet different needs. Traditional dentures are removable and generally have a lower initial cost. Implants are placed in the jaw and can support a fixed or more secure tooth replacement. Our dentist will help you compare the options based on your oral health, goals and budget.
How do I care for my dentures?
Clean your dentures every day with a soft denture brush and a cleaner made for dentures. Remove them at night unless your dentist advises otherwise, and store them as directed—often in water or a denture-soaking solution—to help maintain their shape.
Can I sleep with dentures in?
It is generally better to remove dentures before sleeping so your gums and oral tissues can rest. Your dentist may give you different instructions for a specific reason, particularly immediately after treatment.
Can dentures be supported by implants?
Yes. Dental implants can be used to support dentures and improve their stability. Depending on the treatment design, the denture may snap onto the implants or remain fixed in place. A consultation will help determine which approach may suit you.
Who is a good candidate for a dental bridge?
A bridge may be an option when one or more teeth are missing and the nearby teeth or implants can provide healthy support. Our dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite and overall oral health before recommending treatment.
Can a bridge prevent my teeth from shifting?
Filling a gap with a bridge can help stop nearby teeth from moving into the open space. This can support a more stable bite and help maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth.
Can a bridge be replaced if it breaks?
Yes. A damaged or worn bridge may be repaired or replaced depending on its condition and the health of the supporting teeth or implants. An examination is needed to determine the appropriate solution.
These answers are general information. Recommendations, recovery and results vary by patient. A dental examination is needed for advice based on your oral health.
