The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia. While patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling after surgery, most report that the method is no more painful than a standard tooth extraction. Post-operative symptoms generally subside within a few days and can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief.

Insurance coverage varies depending on the provider and plan. While many basic plans may not cover the entire procedure, some extended or premium dental insurance policies offer partial reimbursement for surgical or prosthetic components. Patients are encouraged to review their policies or consult with the team at Cosmo Dental Centre for clarification.

With appropriate care, implants can last 20 years or more. Their longevity depends on oral hygiene, overall health, and routine dental checkups. The titanium post fuses with the jawbone and is highly durable, while the prosthetic crown may eventually require replacement due to regular wear.

The cost of dental implants depends on the number of implants required, the type of restoration used, and whether additional procedures (such as bone grafting) are necessary. A full cost estimate is typically provided after a thorough consultation and diagnostic assessment.

The primary types of dental implants include endosteal (placed in the jawbone), subperiosteal (placed under the gum but above the jawbone), and zygomatic (anchored into the cheekbone) implants. Endosteal implants are the most commonly used and are suitable for patients with sufficient jawbone density.
