Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered one of the safest and most predictable treatments in modern dentistry. The procedure has a very high success rate when performed with proper planning and imaging.
Precise Implant Planning
At our office, Dr. Hu uses digital x-rays and CBCT scans to measure bone density and map the exact placement of the implant. This technology helps avoid nerves, sinuses, and other critical structures, reducing surgical risks and promoting stable long-term results.
Let’s Talk About Implant Risks
Like any medical procedure, implants come with potential risks. The most common are minor swelling, bruising, or soreness after surgery. These symptoms usually fade within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Less common risks include infection, failure of the implant to fuse with the bone, or damage to surrounding teeth. If you smoke, have uncontrolled diabetes, or low bone density, we may recommend additional steps such as bone grafting to improve success.
The best way to reduce risks is through careful planning, good oral hygiene, and regular checkups. Most patients find that implants feel natural, work comfortably, and last for many years with proper care.
