Dental Implants FAQ

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that can reconstruct the upper and lower jaw by providing a strong foundation. Implants act like the root of a tooth, providing a firm titanium attachment for a crown in the future, making your teeth look more natural than with dentures or bridges. Dental implants are the most comfortable choice to permanently replace your missing teeth.

Titanium is considered a safe metal to use in medical implantation procedures.

Titanium’s harmonizing advantages:

  • Strong and light
  • Biocompatible
  • Long-lasting and corrosion resistant
  • Osseo-integrated (joins with bone)
  • Flexibility and elasticity of bone

Dental implants are the best permanent solution for almost anyone needing a tooth or teeth replacement. This is one of the biggest breakthroughs in modern cosmetic dentistry. They are as strong and durable as natural teeth and look just like your real teeth. Dental implants prevent bone loss and preserve your facial structure. They improve your smile, oral health, and help to increase your self-confidence.

Dental implants can be used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, all teeth, or support removable dentures. Missing teeth impacts overall health. If you have missing teeth, you are living with consequences:

  • Less ability to chew and swallow
  • Changes in facial structure
  • Embarrassment when you smile
  • Difficulty speaking clearly and limits on food choices
  • Higher risk of periodontal, or gum disease

The majority of patients report their implant treatment was better than they expected. Implant procedures are the least uncomfortable procedure in oral surgery and generally just requires a local anesthetic. The first few days following treatment discomfort are often managed with mild OTC analgesic: i.e., Tylenol, Advil, or Motrin.

Implants are extremely durable – with proper care, they will last many years, the most likely a lifetime. This is the best long-term solution to missing teeth.

Dental implants have a very high success rate, according to clinical studies. This is the best long-term solution to missing teeth with an over 98% success rate.

They are non-ferromagnetic and allowing patients to be safely examined with MRIs. Dental implants will not cause any negative effects and not interfere with your ability to have an MRI.

Dental implants are less expensive than a bridge in the long run. Bridges may last for 7-15 years; implants last a lifetime. Dental implants are a great investment
