Common questions about dental implants
Every smile is different. These FAQs cover general information—your consultation is the best way to get a personalized plan.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Many adults missing one or more teeth can be candidates. We’ll review your health history, take imaging, and evaluate bone and gum health to recommend the safest, most predictable option.
Do dental implants hurt?
Most patients are surprised by how manageable it is. We use modern techniques focused on comfort, and you can expect some soreness during healing—often similar to a tooth extraction.
How long does the implant process take?
Timing depends on your needs (bone grafting, extractions, and the type of restoration). Some cases can receive a temporary tooth the same day, while others take a few months for healing before the final restoration.
What’s the difference between a single implant and an implant-supported bridge?
A single implant replaces one missing tooth with an implant and crown. An implant-supported bridge replaces multiple teeth using fewer implants to support a connected set of teeth.
What are All-on-4 / full-arch implants?
Full-arch solutions replace an entire upper or lower arch with a fixed set of teeth supported by implants. It’s designed for stability, confident chewing, and a natural-looking smile.
How long do dental implants last?
Implants are designed to be a long-term solution. With good home care and regular dental visits, many implants can last for decades. The restoration (crown/bridge) may need maintenance over time.
