Dental Implant Questions

ARE THERE RISKS INVOLVED WITH DENTAL IMPLANTS?

As with any surgical procedure, dental implant surgery poses some health risks i.e.  potential complications. Problems are exceedingly rare though, and when they do occur, they are usually minor and easily treated by the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Risks include:

 

Infection at the implant site (peri-implantitis)

Injury or damage to surrounding structures, such as other teeth or blood vessels

Nerve damage, which can cause pain, numbness, or tingling in your natural teeth, gums, lips, or chin

Sinus problems, when dental implants placed in the upper jaw protrude into one of your sinus cavities

HOW MUCH DOES A DENTAL IMPLANT COST?

Fees from dental implants vary from dentist to dentist. Our staff will schedule an implant consultation to discuss, in detail, the procedure and all fees involved. We will devise a plan based on your needs and means. We will never give our patients the "hard sell." Dr. Hilmi does not involve himself in that type of practice arrangement.

 

HOW LONG DOES A DENTAL IMPLANT LAST?

With routine dental hygiene scheduled and proper home care, a dental implant can last many years.
