The dental implant procedure involves replacing tooth roots with metal, screw-like posts and missing or decayed teeth with artificial teeth. How the procedure is performed depends on the condition of your jaw bone and the type of implant option you choose. Generally, the process of placing a dental implant involves multiple steps, which include:

Dental implants have a very high success rate. Studies suggest a long-term success rate of 9 out of 10 implant cases for lower jaw implants, and 9 out of 10 successful cases for upper jaw implants.
However, there are a number of factors on which its success depends, including your dental and oral health, including how well you take care of your teeth with your home cleansing routines, keeping to a strict routine for professional examinations (always every six months for the exam) and two to four professional hygiene well-checks per year (2-4 “cleanings” per year), any current medical conditions and how well they are controlled, the aftercare, and how skilfully it has been installed.

Dental implants are considered a safe tooth replacement option. They can safely replace your missing teeth and with proper installation, will not cause any problems to your surrounding teeth. Implants do not move around as much like dentures and provide a custom fit to your mouth.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last for many years, even more than 25 years in some instances.
Dental implants can be placed in one day, but healing and bone growth require some time which is typically three to six months. It requires 2 to 3 dental appointments depending on the condition of your jaw bone, type of your implant, and any additional procedure such as bone grafting required. When a full arch is involved and at least four dental implants will be installed, yes, you can get a prosthesis installed same or next day. Often, a second more permanent arch replacement will be installed later.
At Smile Arizona Dentistry, one can choose to use conscious sedation or I.V. sedation techniques to deliver a comfortable dental implant procedure. The conscious sedation technique allows you to stay awake and feel no pain while your dentist performs the implant placement work. The I.V sedation technique, you will be asleep for the procedure. Both options provide an amnesic effect.
You won't feel pain during the procedure. When searching for implants near me, patients often worry about discomfort, but our sedation options ensure a painless experience.
You can get dental implants even after you have extracted teeth 2, 5, 10, or more years ago. However, you should have adequate jaw bone to support the implant.
It's rare that a body rejects a dental implant. However, this doesn't mean that your dental implant cannot fail. The only unavoidable reason behind the failure of dental implants is titanium allergy. Other cited reasons, like poor oral hygiene and bad aftercare can be easily avoided by following recommended dentist guidance.
