How long do dental implants last?

With proper care—including daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups—dental implants can last 20 years or more.

Will the implant procedure be painful?

You’ll be comfortably numb during the dental implant surgery, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure itself. Most patients report only mild discomfort afterward. Any swelling or soreness can usually be managed with over-the-counter medication, and our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to keep you comfortable during healing.

Can you get an Implant if you’ve been missing a tooth for a long time?

Yes, possibly. If you’ve experienced bone loss, we may recommend a bone graft first to help rebuild the area before placing the implant. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your jaw to see if dental implant placement is a good option.
