When you feel a sudden pinch, zap, zing, or other intense sensation that we refer to as sensitivity, you may find yourself feeling completely unsure how to react. This, of course, is because you have dental implants and worry that such feelings might mean something quite serious! Remember: Sensitivity can happen as the result of so many factors, whether you have implants or not. Rather than assuming the worst, what we would like you to do is to inform our Santa Rosa, CA team of this experience as soon as possible. Of course, when you do so, you make it so much easier for us to find the source of your discomfort, explain it, and fix it!

We understand, as speaking about “implants” is often used as a blanket term to talk about dental posts and the restorations they support. However, of course, the implant itself is just the post!

Let our Santa Rosa, CA team review some of the interesting details, so you have a full appreciation for their function.

It’s just a matter of personalizing it. Learn more.
