The longevity of your dental implants is highly dependent on how you take care of your dental implants after your procedure. Although dental implants are designed to last upwards of 25 years, if you’re not taking care of your teeth properly then this number becomes reduced. Other factors such as any pre-existing conditions and your overall oral health also play a role in how long your dental implants will last.

From the initial consultation to your first appointment for your impressions and temporary implants, to your permanent implants coming in, this process typically will take around 4-5 months from start to finish. Once the permanent dental implants are in place, your jaw will take about 4-6 months to fully heal.

At Saratoga Family Dentistry, the dental implant procedure generally takes about an hour for a single implant. Depending on how many implants a patient needs, it can take more time. The initial placing of dental implants will be temporary, and a follow up appointment will be needed once your permanent implants come in.

This one depends on the patient. Some patients choose to go back to work the same day, while others take a few days off from work to recover.

Once the numbing goes away, you can resume eating and drinking. For a speedy recovery, it’s best to avoid spicy, very hot or very cold foods, acidic foods such as citrus or tomatoes, seeds, hard and sticky foods such as candy, chips and popcorn until your dental implants have properly healed.

Saratoga Family Dentistry understands the anxiety that comes with dental procedures, which is why we always use local anesthesia for our dental implant procedures. Once the local numbing has taken effect, you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure.

The most ideal candidate for dental implants is someone who has good oral health. Dental implants require a sufficient amount of bone in your jaw which is needed to support the implants once they’re installed. Healthy gum tissues are also imperative to successful treatment.
