There are so many reasons to say “Yes!” to dental implants. Common questions: Will I be able to eat normally during the healing process? Yes. -In most situations, you may eat what you like. You may be asked to avoid chewing in the area where the implants are placed for a short period after surgery, but once that time has passed, you can chew your food as a usual. Can I get a temporary tooth to fill the gap during healing? Yes. -In most instances, you can be provided with a temporary tooth to fill the area of the missing crown while the implant is healing. Your dentist will recommend the option for a temporary that is best suited for your situation. Is dental implantation a common surgical procedure? Yes. -This procedure has been performed for decades on millions of patients. Implant specialists have extensive experience and documented clinical success for more than 30 years. Is the procedure relatively pain-free? Yes. -Many patients report that having a tooth extracted is more traumatic than having an implant placed. The procedure is usually performed in the dental office under local anesthesia. #GumDisease #Periodontist #Perio #DentalHygiene #BeverlyHills #LosAngeles #DrSalamati
