There are very few negative effects of a dental implant. The most common concern is the healing time needed between implant placement (the portion placed in the jaw) and when the crown (top, chewing part) is placed. This typically takes around 3-4 months to allow proper healing and design. At Exceptional Dentistry of Delaware, we know you are eager to get your teeth back so we make every effort with our latest technology to get your implants restored as quickly and responsibly as possible!
