Dental implant surgery
The implants are positioned in the lower or upper jaws with a minor surgical procedure. The surgeon prepares the jaw by situating an artificial root into the bone which is followed by adjusting the artificial tooth in its place. The procedures are perfectly safe and do not harm the natural, adjacent teeth. An ice pack is recommended by the surgeon after the procedure which is usually required for 24-48 hours to help reduce swelling and bruising. To avoid any mishaps, start by eating liquid based diet when hungry.
