Frequently Asked Questions

Many options are available and tailored to your specific requirements. If you need a replacement tooth while healing, temporary removable teeth or a temporary bridge can be made. If all teeth are missing, we can modify your present denture or make a new temporary one. For non-removable options, temporary transitional implants can often be placed the same day. Depending on your situation, some implants can be “loaded” immediately, meaning a replacement tooth is placed on or shortly after surgery.

Just like natural teeth, clean them regularly with toothbrushes, floss, and recommended aids. You should visit your dentist several times a year for hygiene and maintenance. Like any tooth replacement, components are subject to wear and may eventually need repair or adjustments.

Complications are easier to prevent than manage, so it is extremely important to have a qualified specialist place the implant. Although patients worry about pain, most do not experience significant postoperative pain. We prescribe pain medication and antibiotics to ensure your recovery is as easy as possible.

Usually when adequate healing has occurred and your jaw bone is firmly fused to the implant. Your restorative dentist begins by taking specialized impressions to produce a replica of your mouth. They will then make abutments (support posts) to attach your new teeth.

Single/Few teeth: May require as few as 2-3 short appointments.
Removable dentures: May require up to five appointments over several months for custom bars, snaps, or magnets.
Timeline: Total treatment typically takes between 1 to 12 months.

Typically, a surgical specialist (like our periodontists) places the implant, and your restorative dentist provides the temporary and permanent teeth. Both doctors work together to plan your treatment.

We make every effort to provide an accurate estimate before treatment begins. Charges may include the initial diagnostic work-up (X-rays, CT scans, surgical templates), the abutments, and the final restorations. Since different doctors are involved, you will be charged separately for their services. We will assist you in estimating actual payments after evaluating insurance coverage.
