Most adults in good general health with healthy gums and adequate jawbone density are candidates for implants. During your consultation, we take 3D scans and review your medical history to confirm implants are right for you — and recommend options like bone grafting if additional support is needed.

No. The implant is placed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel any pain during the procedure. Most patients report far less discomfort than expected afterward — typically managed with over-the-counter pain relievers for a day or two.

From initial consultation to final crown, most implant treatments take 3 to 6 months. The majority of that time is dedicated to healing and allowing the implant to fuse with your jawbone — a natural process called osseointegration that ensures long-term stability.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium post typically stays in place for 25+ years or longer, while the crown on top may need to be replaced every 15–20 years due to normal wear — similar to natural teeth.

Implants are cared for just like natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and attend regular dental checkups every six months. Avoid biting extremely hard foods like ice, and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth. With consistent care, your implant will stay beautiful for decades.
