Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath the gum line, allowing the dentist to mount replacement teeth or bridges into that area. They provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable prosthodontic (replacement) teeth designed to match your natural teeth.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants fuse to your jawbone, offering stable support for artificial teeth. This secure fit helps replacement teeth and bridges — even dentures mounted to implants — to feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.
Are dental implants safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained and experienced dental surgeon, the implant procedure is safe. As with any surgery, there can be risks, which is why it's crucial to discuss the procedure thoroughly with your dental professional.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown or artificial tooth placed on the implant may need replacement every 10 to 15 years due to wear and tear.
Are dental implants noticeable?
No, dental implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Most people won't even distinguish between your replacement tooth and your natural teeth.
Can anyone get dental implants?
While most people are suitable candidates for dental implants, some individuals might need additional procedures, like bone grafting, to meet the criteria. Key factors include having healthy gums and enough bone to anchor the implant.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
The success rate of dental implants varies depending on the jaw's placement but, on average, has a success rate of up to 98%. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, professional cleanings, and dental check-ups.
Are dental implants painful?
Post-surgery discomfort is typical and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. During the procedure, anesthesia ensures patients experience minimal discomfort.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants can vary based on several factors, including the number of implants and any additional procedures required. Consult with your dental professional for a tailored estimate.
Can dental implants get cavities?
No, dental implants themselves can't get cavities. However, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene to protect the surrounding natural teeth and gums.
How long is the recovery time for dental implant surgery?
While the post-surgery discomfort might last a week or so, the bone fusion process (osseointegration) can take several months. Overall healing can vary from person to person.
