Is a single tooth implant painful?

The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the surgery. Some discomfort is expected afterward, but it’s usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and subsides after a few days.

How long do single tooth implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need to be replaced after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant itself is very durable.

Are there any risks associated with single tooth implants?

As with any surgery, there are some risks, such as infection, implant failure, or injury to surrounding teeth. However, dental implants have a high success rate, and complications are rare, especially when performed by an experienced dentist.
