The most common fear surrounding dental implant surgery is the recovery. Many patients expect to be bedridden or in significant pain. However, in the world of high-end clinical care, the reality is often much more manageable. The "intensity" of your recovery depends entirely on the complexity of your procedure.

When you decide to invest in your smile, you aren't just buying a procedure; you are entering a partnership with your clinical team. While dental implants have a remarkable 95% success rate , no medical procedure is entirely without risk. At our practice, we believe that being "in good hands" means having a dentist who is honest about what can go wrong—and experienced enough to prevent it.
