What to Expect From Dental Implant Surgery

From: American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons AAOMS
More and more people are getting dental implants to replace missing teeth. They're a long-term solution that is imbedded in your jawbone, just like your natural teeth. They even go your natural teeth one better, since they can't develop cavities. Plus, unlike fixed bridges or removable dentures, dental implants will not affect neighboring healthy teeth or lead to bone loss in the jaw. If properly cared for, dental implants can last a lifetime.

The oral and maxillofacial surgeons at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) College of Dentistry have the specialized education and training in the complexities of the bone, skin, muscles and nerves involved, to ensure you get the best possible results.

Has anyone actually gotten their implants from the uic dental school? If so how was the experience ?

[miguelpineda]

HA! tried going here.. was basically told to kick rocks.. now i have a massive infection.. all because of the outrageous cost.. 25 dentists have all said the same thing

Most of these cases sounds like they have gum diseases that destroyed their jawbones. Getting a deep cleaning before it gets worse should prevent a dental implant, no?

[Evan-memo]

I have gum disease and I ruined my teeth 8 our now now more to go teeth lose and honestly I regret it so much but we never think about this till bad things happen and will cost me about 30k people take care of your teeth not only will cost you tons of money but time and pain my gums are destroyed gum Shrank and became small so god knows what else I need I’m at the dentist as I’m writing taking out one more today and another day one more and goes on till all bad teeth are gone then I’m putting denchers then implants

[MotivationalAngel]

Im thinking about doing this with maybe all my teeths. Wondering how much it will cost for all the teeth.

[debbiecisneros]

Please I pray everyday that I can be chosen ..I am so happy for these people.. I went to Mint Denistry they pulled all my top teeth and never made my dentures they couldn't do it ....I have no teeth So I stuck at home and can't work im embarrassed

[shanestrickland]

On a further note will dental insurance cover both rebuilding my jaws and the implants?

[shanestrickland]

How strong are implants and does the procedure hurt ?

[mattb]

Im shitting bricks i have to get one of these, i still have the molar thrre gonna pull the tooth and put the implant in all at once, they offer IV Sedation but i take suboxone cause i was addicted to heroin ive been clean for almost 4 years but i doubt there going to give me anything for the pain so im freaking out.

How long does the pain of having implants last after surgery is done?

[sharonmassetti]

I have implants a 6 on one. I have temp in now. I find myself slurring what could be wrong?

[mactavares]

no real information- just another commercial

The worst experience of my GOD! … The pain after implant Surgery is the biggest nightmare someone can imagine. Please lesson to me and don't do it ever.

[warrenalbert]

But they never tell you if you have pain the rest of your life. And if your in your 60"s why bother, your not going to live enough to use them. And the Cost, is only for the Rich. Why not post some of the ones who had it and messed their life up with them?

[kirbythekrib]

Dental implants last for life?? So should I go for that if I want life long straight teeth I get tired having wear retainer every night 😂

[YuToasty]

oh God I have 3 rods going in my mouth then

[fatherlikeson]

I have a YouTube channel where my son and I do music videos. My teeth are really bad and it's not only affecting my confidence but it's really affecting my speech and singing voice. I am in desperate need of dental implants and was wondering if this college would be interested in sponsoring me. Fix my smile and I will advertise for you for 2 years. Please let me know what you think. Thank you

[arbaz]

[rohitwagh]

These people are trying to make you feel like, their will be no pain after the surgery 😁

What to expect? Try being presented with a cost of over $50 thousand dollars! It's so unreachable for many folks that need help, and it seems that the supposed "advanced technology" is being used to line the pockets of these so-called specialists., leaving patients with future big debts! Yet they advertise in wanting to help people... It's insane!🙃
