How long do dental implants last?

The implant screw can last a lifetime with regular dental check-ups. The crown usually lasts 10-15 years before needing to be replaced due to natural wear and tear.

Are dental implants painful?

Our office ensures the most pain-free experience possible. Often times over-the-counter medication like Tylenol or Advil can ease any discomfort from bone pain due to the implant.

How long does the process take?

The time required varies for each person, but generally the first appointment for one tooth takes about an hour. Once the bone fuses to the implant, about four to six months later, your crown will be ready to be placed.

Are dental implants worth it?

In most cases, yes. Dental implants last longer than dental bridges or root canals, and are an effective and common permanent solution to missing or failing teeth.

Can you mouth reject an implant?

While it is possible, dental implants are the most adaptable and effective tooth replacement procedure with about a 98% success rate.
