With proper care and regular dental check-ups, the implant post can last a lifetime. However, due to normal wear, the crown may need replacement after 10-15 years.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during the placement. Some discomfort during recovery is normal but manageable with medication.
The complete process typically takes 3-6 months, allowing time for the implant to fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration) before placing the permanent crown.
Alternatives include dental bridges (which require altering adjacent teeth) or removable partial dentures. However, implants are generally considered the superior long-term solution.
Most adults in good general health are candidates. Adequate jawbone density is necessary, but bone grafting can often address insufficient bone volume.
Our expert team is dedicated to helping you regain your smile and enjoy the benefits of a complete, healthy set of teeth. Trust us to deliver the care and precision needed for a successful dental implant experience, and take the first step toward revitalizing your oral health today.

My visit was incredible. I had my “All on Four” appliances cleaned, and it was a painless and thorough experience. Dr. Scott and all his staff are very friendly. During the cleaning, Mary was gentle and let me know everything she was doing and how it would feel. She gave me tips on how to clean my implants/appliances better and gave me a small brush to do the underside more effectively. Dr. Scott and Mary suggest cleanings take place every 3 months so I will be back in December.
