Question:
Tooth implant....is it painful i'm told it takes about 6mths start to finish is it worth it?
Answers:
No it is not painful! My dentist is very gentle though! You are right it does take about six months. The root of the tooth to be replaced is taken out and the implant post is put in, this is left for six months to bond to the gum. The gum heals over but you do have to put up with a gap for this time. Next the gum is opened up again and a post is hammered into the implant (sounds awful but honestly did not hurt) a protective cover was placed over to protect which stayed in place for about 2 weeks and then "tooth" impression made which was fitted about a week later. All done! Cost a fortune though so hoping it will last as long as they say! Hope this helps
