What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. A natural-looking crown is then attached to the implant, creating a strong, permanent replacement that looks and functions just like a real tooth.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone are good candidates. However, even if you’ve experienced bone loss, modern techniques like bone grafting can often make implants possible. During your consultation, we’ll carefully evaluate your oral health, medical history, and bone density to determine the best solution for you.

Does getting dental implants hurt?

The procedure itself is usually done with local anesthesia and, if needed, sedation. Most of our patients report little to no discomfort during the surgery. Any mild soreness afterward is typically well-managed with over-the-counter pain medication and usually subsides within a few days.
