Is Dental Implant Surgery a Major Procedure?
For many patients, one of the first questions that comes up is:
“Is dental implant surgery considered major surgery?”
In most cases, dental implant surgery is classified as a minor surgical procedure — but that doesn’t mean it should be taken lightly. Let’s break it down.
🦷 What Makes It a “Minor” Procedure?
Dental implant placement:
- Is typically performed under local anesthesia
- Takes about 30–60 minutes per implant
- Does not require a hospital stay
- Involves minimal downtime for most patients
The surgery is often completed in an outpatient setting, such as a dental clinic or private practice. At CosmetoCity, we use advanced technology and gentle techniques to keep your experience smooth and stress-free.
🔍 But It’s Still Surgery
Even though it’s considered minor, implant surgery does involve:
- Making a small incision in the gum
- Drilling into the jawbone to place the implant post
- Post-operative swelling, tenderness, or bruising
The body also needs time for osseointegration (when the implant fuses with the jawbone), which takes several weeks to a few months.
📝 Post-Op Care Is Essential
Proper healing depends on:
- Following all aftercare instructions
- Maintaining excellent oral hygiene
- Attending all follow-up visits
- Avoiding certain foods and habits (like smoking)
These steps ensure that the implant integrates well and lasts for many years to come.
