How painful is a dental implant?
​
Most people who have received dental implants say that there is very little discomfortinvolved in the procedure. Local anesthesia can be used during the procedure, and most patients report that implants involve less pain than a tooth extraction.

Implants compared with dentures etc.
Compared to dentures, bridges and crowns, dental implants are a popular and effective long-term solution for people who suffer from missing teeth, failing teeth or chronic dental problems.
Does food get under dental implants?
​
Food that is stuck between your dental implants and your gums can also lead to impaction. This potentially more serious condition generally occurs when food debris or particles are forcefully wedged in those spaces. You'll usually notice more inflammation and pain if there is food impacted.
Do teeth implants look natural?
​
The answer is almost always a resounding yes. Dental implants are designed to lookand feel just like your natural teeth. And when compared to other restorative options for missing teeth (i.e., bridges), dental implants are hands-down the most natural-looking option.
