How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, implants can last a lifetime. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement after many years of wear.
Is the procedure painful?
Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, so patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Mild soreness afterward is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long does the whole process take?
Timelines vary by patient, but the process from placement through final restoration typically spans a few months to allow the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone.
What does it cost?
Cost depends on the number of implants needed and any additional procedures like grafting. Our office can walk you through pricing and financing during your consultation — see our Financial Information page for details.
How do I know if I'm a candidate?
