Dr. Shah
Hello everyone. This is Dr. Shah from Central Dental Associates. Today I'm going to talk to you guys about dental implants. I have so many patients asking some questions. So I have one of my staff members, who will ask me questions and I would want to go over those questions so that way you guys have more information.
Interviewer
What are dental implants and can anyone get dental implants?
Dr. Shah
Yeah, good question. So dental implants is the metal post like this on which we put a tooth and technically anyone can get dental implants as long as you're missing a tooth.
Interviewer
How long do dental implants last?
Dr. Shah
So dental implants last a pretty long time. As long as you take good care of them, like just your normal teeth, as you brush them, you floss them, you keep everything clean, they last pretty long.
Interviewer
Is the procedure painful?
Dr. Shah
So once you're numb, no, the procedure is not painful. If someone had a filling done, taking a tooth out, or anything where numbing is required, a dental implant is still the same because once you're numb, you don't feel anything.
Interviewer
Are dental implants expensive?
Dr. Shah
It's a very good question. Again, if you think short-term, you may feel they're expensive, but when you add some payment plans, when you pay for some time, we try to make it as economical, and practical as possible. So those were the good questions, Kaylee. But if any of you guys have more questions, feel free to schedule an appointment with me, for a consultation, and I will be more than happy to go over this in detail. Thank you guys. See you guys next time.
