What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium/ceramic post surgically placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root and support a crown, bridge, or denture.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
You are a good candidate if you have sufficient jawbone density, healthy gums, and good overall health. Smokers or people with certain medical conditions may require extra evaluation.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, while the crown may need replacement every 10-15 years.
Are dental implants safe?
Yes, dental implants are a well-established and safe procedure with a high success rate when done by a qualified professional.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The full process can take several months, as it involves surgery, healing time (3-6 months for osseointegration), and placing the final crown. In specific cases and immediate placement with an immediate temporary crown may be an option as well.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so there is minimal pain. Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising may occur afterward, which can be managed with pain relievers.
What are the steps involved in getting a dental implant?
The process includes an initial consultation, implant placement surgery, healing time for bone integration, and finally, attaching the prosthetic tooth.
Will I have a gap in my smile during the healing process?
Depending on your situation, you may receive a temporary tooth replacement until the permanent crown is placed.
How long does it take to recover from dental implant surgery?
Initial healing takes about a week, but full integration with the bone (osseointegration) takes 3-6 months.
