Implant Placement: A titanium screw is placed into the jaw under local anesthesia, serving as a replacement root.
Healing Period: The implant bonds with the jawbone over three to six months, creating a strong foundation.
Temporary Teeth: Temporary replacement teeth are often fitted during this time.
Abutment Attachment: After healing, an abutment is secured to the implant to hold the crown or bridge in place.
Final Restoration: Crowns or bridges, matched to your natural teeth, are fitted to complete the treatment.
Chewing function is improved: The denture is much more stable, reducing the risk of digestive problems.
No more concerns about embarrassing situations: A conventional denture may drop, but an implant-secured denture improves self-confidence.
Better support for facial tissues: Gives a more ‘youthful’ appearance.
No need for unpleasant denture adhesives or pastes: The implant-secured denture eliminates the need for these.
Ease of cleaning: The implant-secured denture can be removed to ease cleaning around the implants.
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and when they do, we’re here to help. Whether you’re experiencing a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or another urgent issue, our team is ready to provide prompt and compassionate care.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown (artificial tooth) attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to wear.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, usually made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth.
A good candidate should have healthy gums, sufficient bone density to support the implant, and good oral hygiene habits.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown (artificial tooth) attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to wear.
The full process can take several months, typically 3-6 months, depending on healing time and whether additional procedures (such as bone grafting) are needed.
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during surgery. Some discomfort may occur afterward, but it is usually manageable with pain relievers.
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, but full healing and osseointegration (fusion of the implant with the jawbone) can take several months.
The cost varies but generally ranges from $3,000 to $5,000 per implant, including surgery, abutment, and crown.
Many dental insurance plans do not fully cover implants, but some may provide partial coverage. Check with your provider for details.
Care is similar to natural teeth—brush and floss daily, visit your dentist regularly, and avoid smoking or chewing hard foods that may damage the implant.
No, implants themselves don’t get cavities, but gum disease can still affect them, so good oral hygiene is essential.
