FAQ's regarding Implants

at Roper Aesthetic Dentistry

Is the implant procedure painful?
You will receive anesthesia and won’t feel a thing during the procedure. Some soreness is to be expected during the healing phase, and implant dentist Dr. Roper will prescribe pain management medication if needed.

Are dental implants affordable?
Because the process involves two highly specialized phases, you can expect surgery, anesthesia and tooth prosthesis costs. The good news is, the benefits far outweigh the costs and Dr. Roper offers affordable financing options for those who prefer to pay for the procedure gradually. Remember also that leaving a gap where your tooth used to be can negatively affect the gums, jawbone, and neighboring teeth and translate into future expenses.

Will my artificial tooth look natural?
Your new tooth will be modeled after your natural teeth and will be handcrafted to integrate seamlessly with them. It will be created using a porcelain composite and will reflect light just like natural enamel. It will also be matched to your current shade, so if you are considering professional tooth whitening, try to whiten before the implant procedure.

Can I treat my artificial tooth like natural teeth?
You can eat anything you want with an artificial tooth, but implant dentist Dr. Roper will suggest you stay away from certain foods like hard candy that could potentially damage your prosthesis. Also, you will be instructed to be gentle with the area following each phase of implant treatment. You will need to brush and floss your new tooth to protect the surrounding gum tissue.

Why should I choose Dr. Roper to do my implant procedure?
