Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about dental implants

A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces a tooth root. After it integrates with the bone, it can support a crown, bridge, or denture for a stable, natural-feeling result.

With good home care and regular professional cleanings, implants can last for many years—often decades. The restoration on top (like a crown) may need replacement over time due to normal wear.

Most patients are surprised by how manageable implant treatment feels. We use local anesthesia and can discuss comfort options. Post-treatment soreness is usually mild and temporary.

Many adults are candidates. Key factors include overall health, gum health, and having enough bone to support an implant (or the ability to rebuild bone if needed). We’ll confirm candidacy during an exam and imaging.

Timelines vary. Some cases take a few months to allow healing and integration, while others may be faster depending on the plan and whether bone grafting or extractions are needed.
