Question 1

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Most adults in good overall health are excellent candidates. The key factors are adequate bone density in your jaw and healthy gums. If you've lost bone mass, a bone graft may be needed first. Dr. Taylor will evaluate everything during your consultation — there's no commitment, just a conversation.

Question 2

How long do dental implants last?

Accepted Answer

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium post fuses permanently with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Crowns and bridges typically last 15–25 years before needing replacement. Most patients say they forget they even have implants.

Question 3

Is the implant procedure painful?

Accepted Answer

Most patients are genuinely surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. We offer IV sedation for patients who want a relaxed, anxiety-free experience. Post-procedure soreness is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief for 1–2 days.

Question 4

How is an implant different from a bridge?

Accepted Answer

A traditional bridge requires grinding down healthy neighboring teeth for support. An implant stands completely on its own, just like a natural tooth root. This preserves your remaining teeth and provides a more natural feel and function.

Question 5

What is the All-On-4 procedure?

Accepted Answer

All-On-4 uses just four strategically placed implants to anchor a full arch of teeth. It's designed for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, or who have failing teeth that need replacement. The result is a permanent, non-removable smile that looks and functions like natural teeth.

Question 6

How do I care for dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Exactly like natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend your routine cleanings. Implants don't decay, but the surrounding gum tissue still needs care. Most patients say implant maintenance is effortless compared to dentures.
