FAQ

  • I’m healthy enough to undergo bridgework… Can I be healthy to have dental implants? A person who is well enough to undergo the treatment necessary for fixed bridgework or routine tooth extractions, the same person can undergo dental implant procedures.

If the implant becomes loose during the healing period, or just after, it will be easily removed and your jaw will heal in the normal way.
