What Is a Dental Implant?

The Benefits of Dental Implants

The Implant Placement & Restoration Process

IMPLANT PLACEMENT

HEALING (OSSEOINTEGRATION)

It will take about 1-2 weeks to heal and recover from your initial surgery. However, it takes up to 3-6 months or longer for your implant to fully heal and integrate with your jaw tissue in the process known as osseointegration. You will come into our office a few times during this time for checkups to ensure your recovery is on track.

BUILDING YOUR CEREC RESTORATION

During your follow-up appointments while you heal, the dental implant restoration process will begin. One of our doctors will take scans of your mouth and your implant and upload them into our CEREC machine to design the dental crown that will be attached to your implant at your last appointment.

FINAL IMPLANT RESTORATION APPOINTMENT

Once your restoration is done and your mouth is fully healed, you will have an abutment placed onto your dental implant, and then the final restoration will be permanently attached to the implant. After your CEREC dental crown is placed, you’ll be sent home to enjoy your new smile.

Have Questions About Dental Implants?

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are designed to last for decades when cared for properly. The implant becomes part of your jawbone, making it one of the most durable tooth replacement options. With good home care and routine visits, most implants remain stable for a lifetime.

How long does it take to get an implant from start to finish?

Most implant cases take 3–6 months, depending on healing and whether additional steps like bone grafting are needed. Some patients qualify for faster timelines, and we’ll outline your exact treatment plan at your consultation.

How do dental implants compare to bridges or dentures?

Implants look and function like natural teeth and help preserve your jawbone over time. Unlike dentures, they don’t shift or require adhesives. And unlike bridges, they don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support.

How much do dental implants cost?

Implant costs vary based on how many teeth are being replaced and whether additional procedures are needed. We’ll give you a clear breakdown during your consultation and review any financing options to make treatment affordable.

Are implants safe?

Yes. Dental implants have a long history of success and are considered one of the safest and most predictable dental procedures. We use high-quality materials and precise planning to ensure a stable, healthy outcome.

Do implants look natural?

Yes. The crown attached to your implant is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. Most people cannot tell which tooth is the implant.

Can a failed implant be replaced?

In most cases, yes. If an implant didn’t integrate properly or has been damaged over time, we can often replace it after evaluating the area and giving it time to heal.

Do dental implants hurt?

Most patients say the procedure is much easier than they expected. You’ll be completely numb during placement, and many people return to normal activities the next day. Any soreness afterward is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter medication.

What is a bone graft and why might I need one?

A bone graft adds support to areas where the jawbone has thinned or shrunk. Not everyone needs one, but it helps create the stability an implant needs to last long-term. We’ll evaluate this with digital imaging to see if it’s necessary.

What is the recovery like after getting an implant?

Most patients experience mild swelling or tenderness for a couple of days. You can usually return to normal activities within 24 hours, and we provide simple home-care instructions to help the area heal smoothly.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults qualify for implants. We’ll take digital imaging to make sure your jawbone is strong enough and review your medical history. Even if you’ve been told you’re not a candidate before, modern techniques have expanded options for many patients.

Can smokers get dental implants?

Smoking doesn’t automatically disqualify you, but it can slow healing and increase risk of complications. If you smoke, we’ll discuss how to support a successful outcome and whether temporary adjustments are needed.

How do I care for my dental implant?

Implants are cared for just like natural teeth: brushing, flossing, and routine hygiene visits. Good home care helps protect the gum tissue around the implant and ensures long-term success.

What is full-arch implant treatment (All-on-X)?

Full-arch implants replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using a small number of implants for stability. This treatment is ideal for patients with failing teeth, denture frustration, or complex dental concerns.
