Implants are more robust than natural teeth and generally last 10-20 years. If you take exceptionally good care of them, they may last even longer. We will provide you with a full list of care instructions for your new implants.

Just like your natural teeth, you will need to brush and floss. A dental implant may be sturdy, but neglect can shorten their lifespan. The good news is that caring for implants is just about as easy as caring for your other teeth.

Are Dental Implants Right for Me?

To receive implants, you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. During your appointment, we will work with you to determine if you are ready for implants. If you need additional bone structure, you can consider receiving a bone graft first to help you build your jaw support.

For many, implants are a more favorable approach for many than dental bridges. The reason being that they do not depend on neighboring teeth for support. However, dental bridges might be a better option for patients who need to replace multiple neighboring teeth or whose jaw bone isn’t sufficient for implants.

If you have suffered the loss of multiple teeth, ask about the option for implant-supported dentures. They are much more stable and convenient than traditional dentures.

Same-Day Teeth Implants

Typically, dental implants are a two-part procedure. First, the metal rod is installed. While you heal, we send impressions of your teeth to a dental laboratory to create your custom crowns. During this time, you may have a temporary crown over your implant. Once the crown is complete, you come back in to install it on the implant.

However, we also offer the option for same-day dental implants. We understand that your time is valuable, and you might need a quicker solution. Contact us to learn more about same-day options.
