Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about dental implants.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good general health are candidates. Adequate bone density is needed, but bone grafting can help patients with bone loss.
How long does the implant process take?
The entire process typically takes 4-6 months, though same-day implants are possible in some cases.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under anesthesia and is usually less uncomfortable than a tooth extraction. Most patients manage post-operative discomfort with over-the-counter medication.
How long do implants last?
With proper care and regular dental visits, implants can last a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 10-15 years.
