The placement of dental implants for complete upper and lower replacements can be performed in as little as one appointment with the appropriate conscious sedation protocol. The misconception that this is “too much” for one appointment applies primarily to the traditional use of local anesthesia alone or less predictable forms of sedation. Because our protocol also involves P.R.G.F. (healing proteins derived from your own plasma), recovery is actually better because of less inflammation and discomfort compared to multiple interventions.
