Implants FAQ's

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They serve as stable anchors for dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, providing a strong foundation for replacement teeth.

Candidates for dental implants are individuals who have one or more missing teeth, adequate bone density and volume in the jawbone to support the implant, and good overall oral health. Patients with certain medical conditions or habits such as smoking may require evaluation to determine their candidacy for implants.

Dental implants offer several benefits, including improved oral function and chewing ability, enhanced appearance and confidence, preservation of adjacent teeth and bone structure, and long-term durability with proper care. Unlike removable dentures, implants provide a permanent solution for tooth replacement.

The process of getting dental implants typically involves multiple stages and may take several months to complete. It begins with a comprehensive evaluation and treatment planning, followed by implant placement surgery. After a healing period of several months, abutments are attached to the implants, and custom-made dental restorations are placed on top.

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last for many years, decades, or even a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding habits that can damage the implants (such as smoking) are essential for ensuring the longevity of implants.
