Dental Implant FAQs

Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root, topped with a custom crown that matches the appearance and function of a natural tooth. Implants provide stability, maintain jawbone health, and restore full functionality, making them a preferred choice for long-term tooth replacement.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the dental implant procedure. Our team uses local anesthesia and offers sedation options to ensure your comfort. Any post-procedure soreness can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and subsides within a few days.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding harmful habits like smoking contribute to the longevity of your implants. Our team provides guidance on maintaining your implants for long-term success.

Initial healing after dental implant placement typically takes a few days to a week, but full integration with the jawbone (osseointegration) may take a few months. During this period, we will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure optimal healing.

Most individuals who are in good overall health and have adequate bone density can be candidates for dental implants. Our team will assess your oral health, bone structure, and medical history during your consultation to determine if implants are right for you.
