“My first visit to Dr. Kim was a great experience. She immediately puts you at ease with her calm and sweet demeanor.

This helped me to know why and how to care for my teeth better, thus motivating me to do so. I never felt rushed.

FAQ

What’s the difference between immediate implants and delayed implants?

Delayed implants require you to wait a few months for the extraction site to fully heal. Sometimes, this is absolutely necessary– when there is an infection there or when we are limited on bone. Delayed implants usually require a few more visits. Immediate implants allow you to place an implant at the same time as extracting a tooth, making the process shorter.

How do I know if I’m a candidate for immediate implants?

Although you might be a good candidate for implants, you might not be one for immediate implants. The best candidates for immediate implants are those with an overall healthy smile and sufficient jawbone foundation. A consultation with Dr. Kim will determine which implants are right for you.

Are immediate implants painful?

The dental implant procedure is generally well-tolerated. Local anesthesia is used during surgery, and most patients experience mild discomfort during recovery, which can be managed with medication.

How long do immediate implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or longer. The titanium post integrates with the jawbone, creating a strong and lasting foundation for your new teeth. For a personalized care plan, schedule a visit to determine what’s best for you.
