Dental Implants FAQ

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically implanted into the bone, similar to a natural tooth root. Then the integrated implant is used to support a replacement “tooth,” such as a crown or bridge on top of it. The implant itself is made of titanium, which is biocompatible and fuses with the bone over time, creating a strong and stable outcome that looks and functions like a natural tooth.

The initial implant placement can often be completed in a single visit, with some patients qualifying for same-day restoration. Full healing and integration typically take 3-6 months, though you'll have temporary teeth during this time.

Most patients report that implant surgery is more comfortable than they expected, thanks to our advanced techniques and sedation options. Any post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution, potentially lasting a lifetime with proper care. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene help ensure your implants remain strong and healthy for decades.
