It will only be just a matter of time before you get to have your killer smile back. Your days of living with bad teeth will soon be over, thanks to your upcoming dental implant surgery FL. This type of restorative dentistry will cause you to have artificial teeth that look and feel like your natural ones!
Did you know that any licensed dentist can legally perform dental implant surgery? Only periodontists or oral surgeons have received much training for implant placement. If yours is a complicated case, it’s best to see any of the two dental specialists to address your case.
The total time from your first dental appointment to when your permanent crown is placed can range from 3 months to 1 year, depending on your bone density and whether you need a bone graft. When a bone graft is necessary before inserting the implant, the healing process can take up to 6 months, and another 6 months of recovery time before the bone around the implant heals completely.
To avoid the buildup of bacteria and plaque that would lead to infection, bone loss, and implant failure, you’ll need to brush, floss, and see your dentist on a regular basis.
Smoking will cause your wound to heal poorly and your implant to not become fully integrated into your jawbone. In other words, smoking will hinder your recovery and will increase your chances of having dental implant failure.
