Is Dental Implant a Big Surgery?
When patients hear the word “implant,” they often wonder if it means undergoing a major surgery. The truth is,
dental implant placement is considered a minor surgical procedure. Unlike hospital-based surgeries, implants are performed in-office under local anesthesia, often with sedation options for comfort.
The process involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as the foundation for a replacement tooth. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and recovery is typically straightforward. In fact, many return to normal routines within a day or two. While healing time for the bone to fuse with the implant can take several months, the actual procedure itself is far less invasive than many expect.
At Schwimmer Dental, we prioritize patient comfort and use advanced techniques to ensure a smooth experience from start to finish in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. Dental implants are one of the most reliable solutions for missing teeth, offering long-term stability and natural-looking results.
