DENTAL IMPLANTS Faqs
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. It supports a crown, bridge, or denture to restore function and appearance.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 20+ years, and many last a lifetime. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential for long-term success.
Is the implant procedure painful?
No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and most patients report feeling pressure rather than pain. Mild soreness afterwards is normal and settles quickly.
Am I suitable for dental implants?
Most adults with healthy gums and sufficient bone are suitable. Even if you’ve been told you’re not a candidate due to bone loss, options such as bone grafting or All-on-4 may make treatment possible.
