Are dental implants painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the dental implant procedure. Local anesthesia is used during surgery to ensure you feel no pain, and any post-operative soreness can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

How do I care for my dental implants?

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are essential to maintain implant health and prevent gum disease around the implant site.

Can dental implants fail?

While dental implants have a high success rate, failure can occur due to factors such as infection, insufficient bone support, or poor oral hygiene. Choosing an experienced provider and following post-operative care instructions greatly reduces the risk of implant failure.

What Are Dental Implants?

Think of dental implants as sturdy, artificial roots—usually crafted from titanium or zirconia—that anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures securely in your jaw. They offer a reliable, natural-feeling foundation that restores your smile’s strength and beauty. At Vero Dental Spa, we offer a range of implant options tailored to your unique needs, including traditional full-size implants, mini implants, implant-supported dentures, All-on-4 dental implants, All-on-6 implants, and more.

“Going to the dentist is scary, but Vero Dental Spa is not! Always kind with a sense of humor. This place will change your mind about the dental experience! Lindsey is terrific.” – Audrey B.
“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Royal’s for years, and he has never failed to find a solution to solve some of the unique challenges that come with aging. Most recently we discovered that I’m losing the bone in my jaw. This is a genetic problem that no amount of calcium supplements will fix. Unfortunately, the bone loss has caused me to lose my implant. The solution to this will involve having a bone graft. Fortunately, they use cadaver bone not your bone, which is what I thought! Whew! Then there’s the wait to see if my body will accept the bone, usually 4 months. If it does, then I’ll get a new implant and after another 3-month wait a crown will be put in place. Like I said, getting old “ain’t for sissy’s” but when you have a fantastic dentist like Dr Royal and a wonderful team beside you it’s a piece of cake! FYI, I will turn 80 this year and will do it with a big smile on my face!” – Ingrid M.

How Is the Dental Implant Procedure Performed at Vero Dental Spa?

Initial Consultation: We’ll review your oral health, examine imaging, discuss your options, and create a personalized treatment plan.
Surgical Placement: The implant is gently placed into your jawbone, where it will fuse naturally through a process called osseointegration.
Abutment Placement: After healing, we attach an abutment to the implant to support your new tooth or teeth.
Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is fitted to complete your smile and restore full function.

How Long Does the Dental Implant Procedure Take, and What Is the Recovery Time at Vero Dental Spa?

The entire dental implant journey usually takes a few months, depending on how your healing progresses and the complexity of your case. The surgery itself typically lasts 1 to 2 hours per implant. Most people feel comfortable returning to their normal routine within a few days, but full healing and bone integration generally take between 3 and 6 months.
