FAQs
Frequently asked questions
-
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium or similar materials that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. -
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown or restoration placed on top of the implant may need replacement after 10–15 years due to wear. -
What can I expect during the dental implant procedure?
The process involves several stages:- Consultation and Planning: The dentist evaluates your oral health and bone density using X-rays or CT scans.
- Implant Placement: The implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone and allowed to heal for a few months, during which it fuses with the bone (osseointegration).
- Restoration: A custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant for a natural look and function.
-
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Post-surgery, you may experience mild soreness, which can be managed with pain relievers and proper aftercare. -
How do I care for dental implants?
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth:- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss daily to remove plaque around the implant.
- Schedule regular dental check-ups to ensure the implant stays healthy and functional.
