Frequently asked questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically implanted into the jawbone. They provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown or bridge attached to the implant may need replacement due to wear over time.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report that the discomfort is minimal. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, and post-operative pain is typically managed with over-the-counter pain medication..
How successful are dental implants?
Dental implants have a high success rate, typically above 95%. Factors like oral hygiene, overall health, and tobacco use can affect the success of the implant.
Can anyone get dental implants?
Most adults in good health are candidates for dental implants. Adequate bone density and healthy gums are important for support. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can affect the success of implants.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for implants involves regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Good oral hygiene is crucial for the longevity of the implants.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost varies depending on the number of implants and the complexity of the procedure. We provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation and discuss available financing options.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan. We recommend checking with your provider for specific details on implant coverage.
What is the procedure for getting dental implants?
The procedure involves placing the implant into the jawbone, allowing it to integrate with the bone, and then attaching the replacement tooth (crown, bridge, or denture) to the implant.
What are the alternatives to dental implants?
Alternatives include bridges and dentures. However, implants are often preferred due to their stability, durability, and bone preservation benefits.
