Dental Implant Surgery
Dental implant surgery itself is most commonly carried out under local anaesthetic. Sedation may be available for patients in an oral or intravenous form although this varies from country to country.
The surgery carried out is most commonly a minor surgical procedure entailing extraction of teeth is necessary, lifting back the gum tissue and the placement of the implant itself with a small amount of drilling.
Sutures are commonly placed and the patient may expect a small amount of discomfort and swelling following placement.
