Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure thanks to local anesthesia. We also offer IV sedation for patients who experience dental anxiety. After the procedure, any discomfort is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
The entire process typically takes 3-6 months from implant placement to final restoration. This allows time for the implant to fully integrate with your jawbone, ensuring a strong and stable foundation for your new tooth. For patients without bone loss, immediate placement may be possible, which can significantly reduce the overall timeline.
Most people with good general health and adequate jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, our Oral Surgery Team will evaluate your oral health, review your medical history, and take X-rays to determine if implants are right for you.
Caring for dental implants is just like caring for natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and visit us for routine checkups and cleanings. With proper care, your implants can last a lifetime.
Dental implants have an excellent success rate of over 95%. With proper care and regular dental visits, most patients enjoy their implants for decades or even a lifetime.
