Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dental implant?

+

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line to hold artificial teeth. It serves as a replacement tooth root and is one of the most durable and natural-looking tooth replacement options available.

How long do dental implants last?

+

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last 25+ years or even a lifetime. The crown or prosthetic tooth may need replacement every 10-15 years depending on wear and material.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

+

Most people with good overall health and adequate bone density can receive implants. We perform comprehensive evaluations including 3D imaging to determine candidacy. Factors like age, bone loss, and medical conditions are considered.

How long does the implant process take?

+

The complete implant process typically takes 3-6 months. This includes placement (2-3 hours), bone integration (3-6 months), and crown placement (2-3 weeks). Some cases allow faster timelines with advanced techniques.

Is the procedure painful?

The placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation options available. Patients report minimal discomfort during surgery. Post-operative soreness is typically mild and manageable with prescribed pain relief.
