Dental Implants FAQs
Many adults with missing or severely damaged teeth may be candidates for dental implants. Healthy gums and adequate jawbone are important, although additional procedures may sometimes make implants possible for patients who have experienced bone loss. A dental implant consultation is the best way to determine your options.
The implant procedure is performed using a surgical guide and expert placement to help keep you comfortable. Some soreness, swelling, or tenderness afterward is normal, but this typically improves as the area heals. Your dentist will provide instructions for managing discomfort during recovery.
Yes. Dental implants aren’t limited to replacing individual teeth. Depending on your needs, implants can support a bridge or full-arch restoration, allowing several or even all missing teeth to be replaced.
Dental implants are designed to closely resemble natural teeth in both appearance and function. Because the implant is anchored in the jawbone, the finished restoration can provide a stable foundation for speaking, smiling, and eating.
Dental implants require consistent oral hygiene just like natural teeth. Brush regularly, clean between your teeth as recommended, and keep up with routine dental cleanings and exams. Maintaining healthy gums is especially important for the long-term health of an implant.
With proper oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and good overall oral health, dental implants can last for many years and often decades. The restoration attached to the implant may eventually need to be replaced due to normal wear.
The timeline varies depending on the number of implants, your oral health, whether additional procedures are needed, and how quickly you heal. Because the implant needs time to integrate with the jawbone, the complete process can take several months in some cases.
At Modern Dental of Durham, we can create a personalized treatment plan and discuss expected costs during your consultation. However, our general cost is $3,950.
Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. An implant is placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root and is topped with a natural-looking restoration. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or support a full-arch restoration.
