If you are considering dental implants, you probably have a few questions. These are just a few of the most frequently asked questions and answers about dental implants, and dental implant restorations:
​​​​​​​

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants are completely stable because they are embedded in the jawbone, so they won't move around. They are also a conservative dental treatment because your dentist doesn’t have to prepare the adjacent teeth, which is required for dental bridges.
 

What kind of dental implant restorations are there?

Dental implants can replace individual missing teeth, which are then capped with dental implant crowns. Dental implants can also support a denture.
 

How long does the dental implant process take?

Typically, dental implants require several appointments. To begin treatment, the dental implant screw is placed in your jaw during a simple in-office procedure. Over time, bone begins to fill in around the implant screw, securing it in place. After the bonding process, an implant crown or other implant restoration is placed on top of the implant screw.
