What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are placed into your jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge, offering a durable and long-term solution for missing teeth.

How do I know if I’m a candidate for dental implants?

Most individuals with one or more missing teeth, adequate bone density, and good overall health are candidates for dental implants. We can confirm your eligibility with a comprehensive evaluation at our office.

Are dental implants safe?

Yes, dental implants are a safe and well-established treatment with a high success rate. They are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement.

How long does the dental implant process take?

The entire process, from implant placement to the final restoration, can take several months, as it requires time for the implant to integrate with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.

Is the dental implant procedure painful?

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and is not painful. Some discomfort and swelling may occur after the surgery, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
