Dental Implant Myths

Dr. Elena Kudryashova, a dental surgeon at Kandinsky Clinic in Dubai, explains why dental implantation is a modern, comfortable, and reliable procedure that takes minimal time and is suitable even for complex cases.

Is It Painful?

Implantation is performed under anesthesia, and numbing the implant site is actually simpler than anesthetizing a tooth. Most patients report only mild discomfort during the first 24 hours after the procedure, which can be easily managed with standard pain medication.

Is It Time-Consuming?

The implantation surgery itself takes only 10-15 minutes. The ideal time for implantation is during tooth extraction or within the first year after. In some cases, implants can be placed immediately after removing the damaged tooth, reducing rehabilitation and recovery time.

We fabricate implants right at the patient's chair. What previously took 5-10 days now requires only 1.5-2 hours, significantly saving your time and ensuring comfortable treatment.

If an implant isn't placed after extraction, the bone where the tooth was will gradually decrease in volume, reducing chances for quick results. Insufficient bone density requires preliminary bone augmentation, which extends both the surgery time and the period before the implant can be connected with the crown.

Will It Set Off Airport Security?

Dental implants are made of titanium and won't cause any issues during airport security screening. Metal detectors don't react to titanium implants.

Will It Fail to Integrate?

Clinical studies confirm that modern implants have a success rate of over 95%.

Can I Have an MRI?

There's no need to worry about implant displacement during MRI. Titanium is not ferromagnetic, meaning it's not affected by magnetic fields.
