FAQs
How long do implants last?
With proper care, implants can last decades. The crown may eventually need maintenance or replacement due to normal wear.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort managed with local anesthesia and over-the-counter pain control.
What if I’ve been told I don’t have enough bone?
Bone grafting and sinus augmentation can often create a suitable foundation—evaluated case by case.
How long does it take?
From placement to final restoration typically ranges from a few months to several, depending on healing and whether grafting is needed.
