Answering Common Questions About Implants

Although dental implants have become extremely common over the years, many patients are still unfamiliar with the procedure and have questions. Here are some of the most frequently asked ones:

What are Dental Implants?
If you need a complete tooth replacement, including the root, dental implants are a popular and effective choice. The process involves placing an artificial tooth root into the jawbone, followed by attaching a new tooth structure, such as a dental crown.

Is This Treatment a Fast Solution?
If you are looking for a quick fix for missing teeth, dental implants may not be the best option, as the entire process can take several months to complete. First, the artificial tooth root is placed. Once it has healed, the tooth structure can be created and permanently placed. If you are looking for a faster solution, we have other options that may suit your needs.

Are Dental Implants Noticeable?
Patients love dental implants because they closely resemble natural teeth. We match the artificial tooth to your natural teeth in both size and color, ensuring a seamless appearance. Implants also function like natural teeth, making it easier to chew food and speak properly.
