Most of the time, the answer is YES! Most of our patients are excellent candidates for “teeth in a day” dental implants. While implant installation and temporary dental crowns can be placed in one day, most patients need approximately 6 months to completely heal prior to the final permanent prosthesis placement.

Gums do need to be healthy to properly support dental implants, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of this permanent tooth loss solution!

Our dentists will work with you to treat your periodontal disease and restore your gum health. After the health of the gums and jawbone has been restored, we can move forward in placing your dental implants.

Definitely not! Dental implants are just like your real teeth. Eat crunchy, chewy food and enjoy it just as much as you did with your natural teeth!

Some dental practices may need to refer out for dental implant placement, but we don’t! Our skilled team is fully equipped to complete your dental implant surgery from start to finish.

When receiving dental implants, age is typically not a limiting factor — as long as you are over 18 years old and healthy enough to visit our dental office, you’re likely an excellent candidate for receiving permanent dental implants.

If you’re feeling nervous about undergoing dental implant surgery or experiencing dental pain, you’re not alone. Let us put you at ease — you won’t feel a thing during your dental implant surgery! Dental implant patients are numbed before the procedure; it’s like taking a short nap and waking up with a new smile.

About 90% of our implant patients arrive for their follow-up appointment with no bruising, swelling or pain, and most of our patients will typically only report tolerable soreness as they heal. The best way to avoid pain after your dental implant surgery is to closely follow the post-op instructions provided by your dentist.
