What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. If you’re looking to restore your smile, you might also be interested in our restorative dentistry services, which focus on repairing and replacing teeth to restore your oral health.

Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants don’t slip, require adhesives, or damage nearby teeth. They are the gold standard for tooth replacement!

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants provide numerous benefits, including bone preservation and improved confidence. For those looking for a more holistic approach to oral health, consider pairing implants with our periodontal care treatments to ensure your gums stay healthy and support your implants.

FAQ

Frequently Ask Questions

Have more questions? Our general dentistry page also provides useful information for maintaining overall oral health, which is essential when considering dental implants.

Most people with missing teeth are candidates for implants, but healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are needed for successful placement. If you have bone loss, we may recommend bone grafting first.

The entire process can take 3 to 6 months, depending on healing time and additional procedures like bone grafting. However, some cases allow for same-day implants where the crown is placed immediately.

The procedure is done under local anesthesia or sedation, so you won’t feel pain during placement. Most patients experience mild discomfort afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant post is permanent, but the crown may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.

The cost varies depending on the number of implants and additional procedures. At Trust Care Dental, we offer affordable pricing and flexible payment plans to fit your budget. Call us for a consultation and personalized quote!

Some dental insurance plans cover part of the procedure, such as exams or crowns. We’ll help you check your benefits and provide financing options if needed.
