The longer the time between tooth extraction and implant placement, the greater the chance of needing some technique to reconstruct the gum or bone around the support. Therefore, the best time to implant is as soon as possible after the natural tooth has been removed.

The patient should always maintain good oral hygiene, brushing teeth after meals and flossing daily. In addition, the use of interdental brushes is recommended, which help to carry out a deeper cleaning and reach the areas around the implant. It is also advisable for the patient to avoid chewing very hard foods to reduce the chance of breaking a crown. And of course, regular visits to the dentist are essential for maintaining implants and preventing future problems.

The implant, as it is integrated into the bone, is very stable and does not cause discomfort or insecurity. Unlike normal dentures or dentures, the implant does not slip or shift position inside the mouth. With this, the patient can eat, speak and perform all functions calmly, without running the risk of going through embarrassing and humiliating situations. In addition, after the surgery recovery period, the implant no longer causes any pain or adaptation problems. Despite being more expensive than other tooth replacement methods, dental implants are very safe and last up to 20 years or more.

Sometimes yes sometimes no. Because after the titanium support is introduced, it needs time for osseointegration to occur, which is when the bone surrounds and integrates with the implant and guarantees its safety. Only after 60 to 90 days can the artificial tooth be installed on the support.

Most of the time yes. However, the dentist specializing in dental implants needs to evaluate the patient and, in some cases, request additional tests.
