Common Questions
The cost of dental implants varies depending on factors such as the number of implants needed, the type of restoration, and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are required. We offer free consultations to discuss your options and provide a personalized estimate. We also work with most insurance plans and offer financing options.
Most patients report that the procedure is much more comfortable than they expected. We use advanced technology including CBCT imaging and computer-guided surgery for precise placement, which minimizes discomfort. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, and we provide detailed aftercare instructions to manage any post-procedure sensitivity.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implant itself fuses permanently with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. The crown or restoration on top may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant itself is designed to be a permanent solution.
Yes, we work with most major dental insurance plans. Our treatment coordinators will help you understand your insurance benefits and maximize your coverage. We also offer flexible financing options to make treatment accessible for all patients.
Initial healing of the surgical site takes about 1-2 weeks. However, the implant needs 3-6 months to fully integrate with your jawbone (osseointegration). During this time, you can continue your normal activities. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure everything is progressing well.
Yes, dental implants are often a viable option even after tooth extraction. In some cases, we can place an implant immediately following extraction. Our specialists will assess the extraction site and determine the best timeline for your implant placement, which may include bone grafting if needed.
