Understanding Dental Implants

FAQ
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots inserted into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. The implant integrates with the bone over time, providing a stable foundation for a crown or prosthetic.
What is the recovery time for dental implants?
The recovery time for dental implants varies but generally takes several months. This includes the time needed for the implant to integrate with the bone and for the placement of the final restoration. Most patients return to normal activities shortly after the procedure.
Are dental implants a permanent solution?
Yes, dental implants are considered a long-term solution for missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, they can last many years, often a lifetime, providing a durable and natural-looking replacement.
What are the potential risks or complications with dental implants?
Potential risks include infection, implant failure or issues with bone integration. However, these complications are relatively rare. Following your dentist’s care instructions and attending regular checkups can help minimize these risks.
