The three most common fears regarding dental implant surgery
Receiving a dental implant is painful
Placing a dental implant is quick and painless. The actual surgery takes a couple of minutes, and only a small incision is made on the gum surface. The complete procedure is done under local anesthesia (or sedation). Most patients report no pain but little discomfort post-surgery. There are common side effects like swelling, sensitiveness and bruise on the site of the implant though. (Painkillers and necessary medication is handed free of charge at SODC Dental Clinic).

Something will go wrong during surgery
The implant surgery and treatment is always carefully planned in order to reduce the risk of complication during and after treatment. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons designed a special treatment routine for foreign patients who travel for treatment. This includes the surgical protocols, healing times, and instructions for oral care for the time of treatment, between sessions and after treatment. Thanks to this routine our success rate of implant surgeries carried out at our clinic is 99.8%, which is higher than the average success rate.
Implants will fall out after a couple of years
Implants are designed to last for a lifetime. Concerning implants there is no natural degradation of the screws or the surrounding tissues that can result loosing an implant once integrated. If an implant is placed according protocol and it is well looked after it should last for a lifetime.
