    Thanks for your interesting dental facts. I had no idea that the first electric toothbrush was invented way back in 1939. It wasn't until the last ten years that they really became a common household object.

Placing a dental implant is a process that is different for each patient. The healing process and the steps required all depend on what’s going on in your mouth. The only way to know exactly what to expect is to consult with us at our office, but we’d be happy to give you an overview here: Can I go back to work right away? You may have read that it can take months to completely heal from a dental implant procedure. This is true, but a little misleading.
