Questions About Dental Implants in Gainesville, GA: Your Comprehensive Guide

Considering dental implants is an exciting step toward regaining confidence and functionality in your smile. However, for many, it’s a procedure that comes with questions. At Lifetime Dental in Gainesville, GA, Dr. Shue Her and his team are dedicated to providing not only superior dental solutions but also the knowledge you need to make informed decisions. Let’s explore some of the common questions patients have and provide insights into why dental implants may be the right choice for you.

What Is The Dental Implants Process? 

Dental implants are a major advancement in restorative dentistry, offering a durable solution to replace missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that integrates with the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures. Dr. Shue Her explains, “Some of the most common questions that patients have about dental implants are: number one, how painful is it? Number two, how expensive is it? And number three, will I feel it after it’s done?” We’re here to address those concerns and guide you through every step of your implant journey.

One of our patients shares, “I was worried about the pain, but the process was so smooth. I only felt slight pressure and some minor discomfort. My new smile feels so natural and looks amazing!” Reviews like this reflect the transformative power of implants and the dedication of our care team.

How Painful Is A Dental Implant?

Patients often ask, “How painful is the dental implant procedure?” Dr. Her emphasizes that discomfort is minimal, often ranking it as a two or three on a scale of one to 10. Most patients describe it as, “… just pressure that I’m feeling, but everything is fine,” he says. And typically, over-the-counter pain relief like ibuprofen is sufficient to manage any discomfort. Throughout the procedure, our expert team focuses on comfort without compromising on quality.

How Much Does A Dental Implant Cost?

Another frequent question is about the cost of dental implants. Dr. Her explains, “Well, that’s a variable and really depends on what we are doing and other factors such as insurance.” While expense can be a concern, Lifetime Dental offers several options to make implants accessible, including outside financing and an in-house discount plan. 

“We want to do everything we can to not make finances be the barrier that prevents you from getting the implant you want and need,” Dr. Her stresses. One patient remarked, “I initially worried about the cost until I learned about the flexible plans available. It made getting implants a feasible and rewarding option.”

What’s The Post-Procedure Experience After Dental Implants?

Post-procedure concerns revolve around how dental implants will feel. Patients are delighted to learn that once healed, implants mimic the feel and function of natural teeth, providing a seamless experience. “It’s as if they were my own teeth,” another patient noted, emphasizing the aesthetic and functional success of their treatment.
