Most people have the following queries when they visit our dental office.
What are dental implants, and how do they work?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium we place into your jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. Over time, the bone fuses to the implant, creating a secure and permanent anchor for the replacement teeth.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
An ideal candidate for dental implants should have healthy gums and adequate bone structure to support the implants. Additionally, the patient should be committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
What are the benefits and risks of dental implants?
The benefits of dental implants include improved oral health, enhanced appearance and speech, and increased comfort and function. Our dentist will discuss the risks (minimal) with you and provide personalized recommendations.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The dental implant process can take several months to complete. After the implant is placed, the bone can take several months to fuse.
What type of maintenance and care is required for dental implants?
Dental implants require regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups like natural teeth.
