Implant Dentistry
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of implant dentistry?
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that replaces the full tooth, including the root. This offers multiple benefits, including:
- Dental implants do not require modification of adjacent teeth
- The implant maintains the proper structure of the jaw and bite
- Dental implants require no additional maintenance beyond your normal dental hygiene routine
- Dental implants look and function just like natural teeth
- Dental Implants are resistant to decay
How long does an implant dentistry procedure take?
The dental implant procedure itself will be done in a single surgical procedure. Following this procedure, your new implant will require some time to fully heal before your porcelain crown can be completed.
In total, the procedure can take several months to a year, depending on individual factors including your natural healing abilities.
How long will my dental implant last?
Properly placed and sufficiently maintained, your implant itself can be expected to last a lifetime.
What are my other options?
While dental implants are the ideal choice for many people, there are other tooth replacement options available as well, including either full or partial dentures and dental bridges.
