Dental Implants
What is the success rate for implants?
Dental implants have a success rate of over 95% when placed by experienced professionals.
Can implants be done in one day?
Some patients qualify for same-day placement with temporary teeth. We’ll discuss this option during your consultation.
Will I need a bone graft?
Not always. We’ll evaluate your jawbone during your consultation to determine if grafting is necessary.
Do dental implants require special maintenance?
No. Brush and floss like normal, and keep up with routine dental visits.
What happens if I don’t replace a missing tooth?
Bone loss, shifting teeth, and bite changes can occur. Implants help preserve bone and maintain alignment.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Some plans offer partial coverage. Our team will verify your benefits and help you explore payment and financing options.
Can I get an implant immediately after a tooth extraction?
Yes, in many cases. We offer same-day implant placement when conditions are appropriate.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options for a calm, pain-free procedure.
How long does it take to complete the dental implant process?
Typically 3–6 months, depending on healing time and whether bone grafting is needed.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. The crown or restoration may need replacement after 10–15 years due to wear.
Invisalign
Veneers
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Yes. Veneers are considered permanent because a small amount of enamel is removed for placement.
Do veneers stain like natural teeth?
No. Porcelain is highly resistant to stains from coffee, wine, and other dark beverages.
How do I care for veneers?
Brush and floss daily, avoid abrasive products, and maintain regular cleanings and exams. We’ll provide specific care tips at your appointment.
What if I’m not a good candidate for veneers?
We’ll explore alternative options such as bonding, Invisalign, or whitening, depending on your needs.
Are veneers covered by insurance?
Typically not, as they are elective. However, we offer financing options to make treatment more accessible.
Can I eat normally with veneers?
Yes, though we recommend avoiding extremely hard foods and not biting directly into hard items like ice or hard candy.
Is getting veneers painful?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort. We use local anesthetic and can offer sedation if needed.
How many veneers will I need?
It depends on your smile goals. Some patients only need 2–4 veneers, while others may benefit from 6–10 for full symmetry.
Will my veneers look fake?
Not at all. Our veneers are custom-designed for each patient to blend naturally with your existing teeth and facial features.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, veneers typically last 10–15 years or longer. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene help extend their lifespan.
