How painful is the dental implant procedure?

My teeth are moving into the gap. I have the choice of having a dental implant, or drilling two perfectly healthy teeth to make a bridge. I am slightly dental phobic and would not cope well with lots of pain during either procedure.

Answers:



There is less pain from a dental implant than pulling a tooth. If you were able to tolerate that, then the implant will be a breeze. I would certainly not sacrifice the other two teeth to do a bridge. On average, a bridge lasts between 10-20 years, where the implant would last over 30. In my office a complete implant procedure would actually only run a few hundred dollars more than a 3 unit bridge, so the cost isn't really a factor in the choice for most patients.

India is the leading provider of healthcare to foreign nationals; be they from neighboring countries, lacking in facilities and standards, or from the West, circumventing waiting times, high cost private healthcare or private health insurance premiums. The Indian medical industry is now poised to move into a new area of "medical outsourcing," where it serves as an extension to provide services to the overburdened medical care systems in western countries.

There are numerous foreigners that are flying to India and desperate to do so. It is not to see the backwaters of Kerala or the beautiful beaches of Goa but to get much cheaper surgery in Indian Metros. Its not just the cost that you should consider. You should look into the surgeons and the anesthetists credentials as well.

Important Points to Ask about the Surgeon and The Anesthetist who would be operating you-

What professional memberships, training and qualifications do they hold?
Have the surgeon and anesthetist worked together before?
Will the anesthetist perform a pre operative evaluation?
And a post operative evaluation?
How much recovery time will the procedure entail?
How long will you be hospitalized?
How soon after the operation you can fly home?
Ask to see credentials and ‘before and after’ pictures.

There is very minimal pain after a dental implant surgery and no pain during the procedure either. In most cases, a patient can walk out of the office ready to go back to work. Absolutely go for implants rather than a bridge. Since you are dental phobic, you can be prescribed a valium or halcion to relax you during the procedure.
