Dental implants are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that fuses with the jawbone. In some cases, zirconia implants are available for patients with metal sensitivities.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so that you won’t feel pain during the surgery. After the procedure, mild discomfort and swelling may occur, but these can be managed with pain relievers.
On average, it takes 3 to 6 months from implant placement to the final crown. This timeline allows the implant to integrate properly with the jawbone.
The ideal candidate for dental implants is someone in good oral and general health with sufficient jawbone to support the implant. If you have experienced bone loss, a bone graft may be necessary.
Dental implants can last a lifetime with regular dental care and proper hygiene, making them a durable and reliable solution for missing teeth.
If your jawbone lacks the density or volume for implants, a bone graft can be performed to build up the bone. Our team will assess your needs and recommend the best treatment using advanced imaging technology.
Dental implants have a success rate of over 95% and are considered a safe, effective, and permanent solution for missing teeth.
Dental implants can replace one tooth, several teeth, or even an entire arch using implant-supported dentures or bridges.
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are essential to maintain the health of your implants and surrounding tissues.
While some dental insurance plans may cover part of the cost, coverage varies. We can help you navigate your insurance and explore financing options to make dental implants affordable.
