Frequently asked questions
Can it happen that the body rejects a dental implant, if so, how frequently does such a thing occur?
After an implant is inserted in the jaw bone, it can happen that it does not integrate with the bone like it should. This occurs in only 3% of the cases. However, this does not pose an irresolvable problem; if this is the case, the implant is taken out and replaced with a larger implant.
Are there any specific conditions that do not permit to undergo implant surgery?
An implant, to be correctly placed, requires enough width and height of the jaw bone which acts as the support to the implant. Also, if an implant is placed between two adjacent teeth, it needs at least 7 mm of space between each tooth.

However, the pain should completely disappear in a matter of two days after you had underwent root canal treatment.
How many times a year should I have my teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist or hygienist?
It is widely recommended that you have your teeth professionally cleaned at least twice a year.
This type of cleaning helps prevent the formation of tartar and allows the dentist to check for cavities while at it.
How can I overcome my uncontrollable fear of the dentist?
If you suffer from anxiety and fear and experience these emotions when you are about to have your teeth treated the best thing is for the dentist to start off with a simple treatment such as professional teeth cleaning. This painless cosmetic treatment might help the patient to feel more at ease while sitting in a dentist’s chair. Once the patient is feeling relaxed and adapts to the environment, the dentist can proceed to treat the patient for cavities or other treatments requiring drilling and anesthesia.
In those few cases when the patient simply can’t get rid of adversed emotions, a mild tranquilizer is used an hour before undergoing necessary treatments.
