FAQ

Whether you are a suitable candidate for dental implants depends on various factors, including your overall oral health, bone density, and medical history. Generally, most adults who are missing one or more teeth are eligible for dental implants. However, it's essential to consult with a qualified dentist or oral surgeon to determine if implants are the right option for you.

The dental implant procedure typically involves several steps:

  1. Initial Consultation: Your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.
  2. Implant Placement: During a minor surgical procedure, titanium posts are inserted into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots.
  3. Healing and Osseointegration: Over several weeks or months, the implants fuse with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for replacement teeth.
  4. Abutment Placement: Once the implants are fully integrated, abutments (connector pieces) are attached to the implants.
  5. Final Restoration: Custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures are securely attached to the abutments, completing your new smile.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are designed to be a durable and long-term solution for missing teeth. However, factors such as oral hygiene practices, lifestyle choices, and overall health can affect the longevity of implants. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene habits are essential for ensuring the longevity of your implants.

Maintaining dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth:

  • Practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily to remove plaque and bacteria.
  • Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.
  • Avoid chewing on hard objects or using your teeth as tools to prevent damage to the implants.
  • Quit smoking, as it can increase the risk of implant failure and complications.
