Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last 20-30+ years. They require regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, similar to natural teeth.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
No. Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is painless. Patients may feel pressure during implant placement but no pain. Post-operative discomfort is usually mild.
Can I return to work after dental procedures?
Yes, after simple procedures like fillings and cleanings, you can return immediately. After implant surgery, most patients can resume normal activities within 3-5 days.
How many dental visits are needed for implants?
Typically 3-4 visits: initial consultation, implant placement (1-2 hours), abutment placement (after 3-6 months), and crown placement.
What is included in a smile makeover?
A full smile makeover may include teeth whitening, veneers, implants, bonding, and orthodontics. Your dentist will create a customized treatment plan after assessment.
