Most adults are candidates for dental implants. The main limitation is the amount of available bone. During your consultation we will evaluate whether dental implants are a viable solution for you.
With more than three decades of clinical experience and over a million patients treated, crowns and bridges supported by dental implants are highly successful. Our statistics confirm a success rate of nearly 98.5%
Studies have shown that chewing efficiency improves significantly after treatment with dental implants. Following a brief adaptation period, chewing efficiency is comparable to that of natural teeth.
When dental implants are used in combination with modern restorative dentistry, their appearance, comfort and functions are very likely to exceed your expectations.
With anesthesia, you are unlikely to experience pain during the implant placement. After treatment, some levels of discomfort may be expected based on the extent of the procedure. Most patients tell us that the pain they are surprised at how little pain they experience. If there is pain, it can be taken care of by prescribed anti-inflammatory medication.
Most patients experience some swelling. Any swelling that does occur usually goes away one or two days after the procedure.
Your new teeth must be cared for and checked regularly, just like your own natural teeth. Brushing and flossing are recommended.
This does not usually happen in healthy, nonsmoking individuals. Dr. Rafla guarantees his dental implants that have been followed and checked by our office on a yearly basis.
Our office guarantees a long term successful dental implant if properly maintained and followed up.
