Implant Placement FAQs

What happens during dental implant placement?

During implant placement, Dr. Zhu inserts a small titanium post into the jawbone where the missing tooth once was. This post acts as an artificial root and will support a future crown or restoration once healed.

Is dental implant placement painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort. The area is fully numbed, and many say the procedure feels easier than a tooth extraction. Mild soreness afterward is normal and usually manageable with over-the-counter medication.

How long does it take for a dental implant to heal?

Healing typically takes 3–6 months. During this time, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, which creates a strong, stable foundation for the final tooth.

What should I expect after implant surgery?

You may experience mild swelling or tenderness for a few days. Dr. Zhu will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including eating softer foods and keeping the area clean to support healing.

Is everyone a candidate for implant placement?

Most healthy adults qualify, but adequate bone density is important. If needed, treatments like bone grafting or a sinus lift can help prepare the area for a successful implant.
