Many adults who have lost one or more teeth may be candidates for dental implants. Your oral surgeon will evaluate your overall health, jawbone structure, gum health, and treatment goals. If you have experienced bone loss, additional procedures such as bone grafting may help prepare the area for implant placement.
Yes. Dental implants can support individual replacement teeth as well as full-arch restorations for patients missing all their upper or lower teeth. The number of implants and type of restoration depend on your jawbone health and treatment needs. Your oral surgeon can help determine which options are appropriate for you.
Treatment time varies based on the number of implants, the condition of your jawbone, and whether extractions or bone grafting are necessary. While some patients may receive temporary replacement teeth on the day of surgery, others require several months of healing before the final restoration is placed. Your surgeon will explain the expected timeline during your consultation.
Local anesthesia is used during implant placement to numb the surgical area, and sedation options may be available for your comfort. Some soreness, swelling, or tenderness is common after surgery, but your oral surgeon will provide instructions to help manage discomfort during recovery.
Dental implants are designed to provide long-term support for replacement teeth and can last for many years with proper care. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, overall health, bone support, and regular dental maintenance. The attached crown, bridge, or denture may require repair or replacement over time.
