Dental Implant FAQ’s

  • Home
  • Dental Implant FAQ’s
What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a permanent new root for a missing tooth. It is a titanium screw that is placed into the jaw bone. An abutment and crown is then placed on the implant to provide a new tooth that is permanent and looks just like a natural tooth.

How are dental implants different than dentures?

Dentures are a removable set of teeth or partial set of teeth that need to be removed and cared for in a special manner. They can often feel bulky and are difficult to get used to. Dental implants are a permanent replacement for missing teeth that can be cared for just like natural teeth.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants look and feel just like real teeth, they are permanent, you can eat the foods you want without any fear of embarrassment, and the procedure is very successful and fairly inexpensive. Unlike fixed bridges, implants do not require filing down any other teeth.

Who can place a dental implant?

Your general dentist may be able to perform implants in their own office based on their training. If not, they will refer you to a specialist, such as Dr. Warner, with training and expertise in performing oral surgery procedures, including implants.

How much do implants cost?

The price of your dental implants will vary based on the level of experience of your doctor, how many implants you are having placed, amount of insurance coverage, and more. Schedule a consultation with us to determine a price for your implants and a financing plan if necessary.

Do dental implants hurt?

No. A local anesthetic will be given before the procedure so that you do not feel any pain. If you have anxiety or fear you should discuss sedation options with Dr. Warner.

How long do implants last?

When cared for properly, implants should last a lifetime. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental maintenance visits are essential to the success of your implant.
