I have a complicated medical history. Am I a candidate for anesthesia?

Almost all who can be seen in an office environment can have some form of anesthesia. The type of anesthesia and ideal treatment environment are best discussed with your surgeon at the time of a consultation visit, when your medical history can be discussed in detail.

What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a device made of titanium or ceramic alloy which is placed where a tooth or teeth used to be, sometimes at the same time as a tooth is removed. It will essentially function as a tooth root and at some point a prosthetic device such as a crown or bridgework is fabricated and attached to the implant or implants to restore the function and esthetics of the natural teeth. The current style implant, which is shaped similarly to a tooth root, has been in use for over 40 years so there is a strong track record of success.
