Are dental implants right for me?
Ideal candidates for dental implants display decent oral and overall wellness, free of gum disease.
While this isn’t a deal breaker, we prefer that patients have adequate bone in the jaw—ample enough to support the dental implant post. However, sinus lifts and bone grafts can create adequate bone density if your jawbone is too soft or thin to support an implant
Treatment Expectations
For new patients, we strongly suggest filling out new patient forms and submitting insurance information for a more efficient first visit.
How long do dental implants take? While the initial procedure can take 1 to 2 hours, the healing time is spread over several months and typically requires several procedures to ensure proper placement.
Furthermore, we’ve outlined what to expect before, during, and after each dental implants procedure.
