Frequently Asked Questions

Is implant treatment painful? Most patients describe the process as more comfortable than expected. We use modern anesthesia, comfort-focused techniques, and manage discomfort carefully throughout treatment. Mild discomfort during healing is normal and manageable.

How long do dental implants last? With good oral hygiene (brushing, flossing) and regular dental checkups, implants can last 15+ years or even a lifetime. They’re one of the most durable tooth replacement options available.

Am I a candidate for implants? Most adults with good oral health are candidates. Adequate jawbone structure is important, though bone grafting can help in some cases. We’ll evaluate your specific situation during your consultation.

What’s the total cost and timeline? Costs and timelines vary based on individual needs. Implant placement takes one appointment; healing typically takes 3-6 months; restoration takes 1-2 additional appointments. We’ll provide a detailed estimate at your consultation.

How do I care for my implant? Implants require the same care as natural teeth: brushing twice daily, flossing, and regular professional cleanings. We’ll provide detailed care instructions.

Can I have implants if I have gum disease? We need to treat active gum disease first. Once your gums are healthy, implants can be an excellent solution.
