How many teeth can be replaced with dental implants?
You can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or all of your teeth. However, you don’t need one dental implant
for every missing tooth. Very often, as few as four to six implants can provide support for a full replacement set
of upper or lower teeth.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
Most people find dental implant procedures very easy to tolerate. Any post-operative discomfort can usually
be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen.
Are dental implants expensive?
Initially, implants may seem more expensive than other tooth-replacement methods such as dentures or
bridgework. However, since implants are the closest thing to real teeth and last longer than other options,
they are often the most cost-efective option.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
There’s a good chance you are a candidate for dental implants, but only your dentist can help you decide
after a complete oral examination that includes x-rays of your jaws. Schedule a consultation today to begin
the exciting process of restoring your smile with dental implants.
