WHAT ARE Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a small titanium post that’s surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as a replacement for the tooth root. Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached, restoring the function and appearance of your smile.
Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are fixed in place, helping to preserve jawbone structure and prevent facial sagging or shifting teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, implants can help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

FREQUENTLY ASKED Questions
Q: How long does the dental implant process take?
A: The entire process can take several months, as it involves placing the implant, allowing time for it to integrate with the bone (usually 3–6 months), and then attaching the crown. Our team will guide you through each step for a smooth and successful outcome.
Q: What are dental implants made of?
A: Dental implants consist of a titanium post that acts as a replacement root and a natural-looking crown that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth. Titanium is biocompatible, meaning it integrates with your jawbone for a secure, long-lasting fit.
Q: Are dental implants painful?
A: The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the process. Some mild discomfort is normal after the procedure, but it’s manageable with over-the-counter pain medication and usually subsides within a few days.
Q: Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
A: Most people with good overall health and sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health and discuss whether implants are the right solution for you.
Q: How do I care for dental implants?
A: Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and schedule routine dental checkups. Proper care helps ensure the longevity of your implants.
Q: Will my dental implants look natural?
A: Absolutely. We customize your dental implant crown to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, so your smile looks and feels completely natural.
