Dental Implants Pasadena Texas:

Dr. Nugent will have use local anesthesia to completely numb the area. Then he will place the dental implant into your jawbone.  You will feel no pain. Some patients elect to have dental sedation for their surgery. Once the implant is placed into the bone it is allowed to heal for several months. The gone will grow up to and fuse with the titanium dental implant.

After the healing, Dr. Nugent will uncover the dental implants and place healing collars. These collars “train” the tissue to allow for a nice contour of the tooth as it comes out of the gum tissue. One to two week later Dr. Nugent will take specialized impressions so the lab can make the crown.

The biggest hesitation of patients not wanting dental implants is that they are afraid it will hurt. There is virtually no pain associated with dental implants.
