Frequently Asked Questions:
What are dental implants, and how do they work?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These posts act as tooth root substitutes and provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown attached to the implant may need to be replaced due to wear and tear after 10 to 15 years, but the implant itself can last indefinitely with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
Are dental implants painful?
Most people report that the procedure is less painful than they expected, with minimal discomfort during and after the surgery. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure to minimize pain, and post-operative pain can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Who is eligible for dental implants?
Almost anyone who is missing one or more teeth due to injury, disease, or decay may be a candidate for dental implants. Ideal candidates have good general and oral health, adequate bone in the jaw to support the implant, and healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease.
