If you experience tooth loss, it is important to replace the tooth as soon as possible. A complete smile is important to overall oral health and well-being. Missing teeth leave gaps which your surrounding teeth may begin to drift into, causing alignment issues that require orthodontic treatment to correct. They can also cause excessive wear on your other teeth as they compensate for your reduced chewing surface, leaving you more susceptible to tooth decay and damage.

Implants require a minor surgical procedure to insert in your jawbone, so you will need to take a few days to recover as your mouth heals. Some pain, swelling, and bleeding are normal during this recovery period. However, you will not experience any pain or discomfort during your procedure due to dental sedatives and anesthetics. Your dentist will numb your mouth and make sure you are as comfortable, relaxed, and stress-free as possible during your implant procedure.
Dental implant surgery typically takes 1-2 hours per tooth. The full process of receiving implants takes 3-4 appointments to complete, from your initial consultation and treatment planning to your implant surgery and follow-up appointments. This can take several months, depending on your unique treatment needs as determined by your dentist.
It is important to replace your missing teeth as soon as possible. Even going a year without a tooth will cause the jawbone to shrink, meaning that you will need a bone graft to restore the healthy bone tissue you will need to support an implant. Missing teeth also cause your surrounding teeth to drift out of place to fill the gap, leading to a crooked smile and a broad range of dental health problems including increased risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and TMJ issues.
