Reasons Not To Be Nervous About Boise Dental Implants

Over the years, Boise dental implants have gained popularity for their life-like appearance and longevity. These qualities are attributed to a titanium post embedded in the jawbone. Because titanium acts like a natural affinity to bone, new cells grow and adhere to the dental implant over time, making a strong, durable connection.

Of course, dental implants require implant surgery — a prospect many people get nervous about when choosing this replacement option. However, implant surgery is a routine treatment that causes very little discomfort in the trained hands of your Boise dentist with a very high success rate.

That’s why we’d like to provide you with the following reasons Boise dental implants are nothing to be nervous about:

Treatment Is Precisely Planned

Dental implant surgery is a relatively minor procedure. Your Boise dentist will map out all the placement details ahead of time. For complex situations, an X-ray or CT image will be used as a surgical guide to determine the exact location for each implant before an incision is made to create a small channel to hold the implant.

Treatment Can Be Performed With Local Anesthesia

Dental implants are usually easier to undergo than a tooth extraction. As long as you’re healthy enough for that procedure, you shouldn’t have any problem with implant surgery. Using a local anesthetic, your Boise dentist will numb the implant area and surrounding tissues while you remain conscious. If, however, you have any anxiety, our dentists can provide you with a sedative or anti-anxiety medication before the procedure.

There’s Minimal Discomfort Afterward

Thanks to advanced implant techniques and a pre-planned surgical guide there will be very little tissue disruption. Incised tissues will be stitched normally with self-absorbing sutures. In most cases, a mild anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen will be used to relieve discomfort unless a stronger pain reliever is needed.

Keep in mind that dental implants heal fairly quickly with a very high success rate. After a few weeks, your Boise dentist will attach a permanent crown to the titanium post. Once in place, you’ll have a fully functional and confident smile to last a lifetime.
