How painful is the dental implant surgery process really?
As people's living standards continue to improve, people are paying more and more attention to oral health issues. Therefore, many patients with missing teeth go to dental hospitals to get their teeth restored. And dental implants, because of their many advantages, have become the first choice for many patients getting tooth restoration. But dental implants require implanting artificial tooth roots into the mouth, so many patients worry about whether getting dental implants will be very painful. After all, many people are still very afraid of pain!
Dental implants
Why are dental implants not painful?
Dental implant surgeries are all performed under local anesthesia in the mouth, so patients will not feel pain during the procedure.
Moreover, dental implants have been developing for half a century now, and the technology is becoming more and more advanced. In particular, the "minute" dental implant technology uses digital intelligent 3D technology to determine the best implant position and design the best tooth implant plan. It uses minimally invasive surgery to place the implant in the best position, and the surgical wound is extremely small, so patients will not feel pain.

Why are more and more patients choosing dental implants?
In the past, when people thought of restoring teeth, the first things that came to mind were porcelain fused to metal crowns and removable dentures. But as the advantages of dental implants have become more and more prominent, the disadvantages of porcelain crowns and removable dentures have also become more and more obvious. Making a porcelain crown requires grinding down the healthy teeth next to the missing tooth area and fitting a dental bridge over them. It is known as "restore one tooth, damage three," and it harms healthy good teeth. Moreover, it usually can only be used for 5-8 years before it has to be redone. Removable dentures have very weak chewing ability, and they have to be cleaned after every meal, which is very troublesome.

Dental implant restoration, however, involves implanting an artificial tooth root and then fitting a crown over it, so it does not harm adjacent teeth. It also has very strong chewing ability, and the crown is natural and attractive. Whether in function or appearance, it can be just like a real tooth! That is why it is increasingly favored by patients with missing teeth.
How long can dental implants last?
The service life of dental implants is another important issue that many patients with missing teeth care about. Among the many tooth restoration options, dental implants are the most durable! If a patient's dental implants are done at a legitimate and qualified professional dental hospital, and they can be properly cared for in daily life, dental implants can be used normally for 30 years, and some can even be used normally for 40 to 50 years! They are very strong and durable.
