What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. Once placed into the jawbone, they support a crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Implants are a permanent solution for tooth loss and can last for decades with proper care.
Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed in place, providing a strong, stable, and natural-feeling foundation for everyday chewing, speaking, and smiling.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Dental Implants?
You may be a great candidate for dental implants if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Are in good overall health
- Have healthy gums and adequate jawbone structure
- Don’t smoke or are willing to stop during the healing process
- Want a permanent alternative to dentures or bridges
At Smile Culture Dental, we use digital imaging and same-day consultations to assess your unique needs. Even if you’ve been told you’re not a candidate in the past, our collaboration with local specialists—including oral surgeons and periodontists—allows us to offer custom solutions for even the most complex cases.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The cost of dental implants varies depending on how many teeth need to be replaced, the type of restoration used, and whether any additional procedures (such as bone grafting or extractions) are necessary. We believe in fully transparent pricing and will walk you through every detail of your treatment plan before we begin—no surprises, no pressure.
We also offer flexible financing and will help you understand your insurance coverage and payment options in simple, patient-friendly terms.
Is The Procedure Painful?
Most patients report that getting dental implants is far more comfortable than they expected. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, and we offer sedation options for those who prefer extra support during treatment. Mild soreness after the procedure is common, but it’s typically manageable with over-the-counter medications.
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and have our team available if you need anything during your recovery.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
With proper care—including regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings—dental implants can last 20 years or more. In fact, many patients keep their implants for life. We’ll give you personalized maintenance advice and follow-up care to ensure your investment lasts for the long haul.
How Long Does The Process Take?
The total time varies by patient. Some patients receive their implants and restorations in one day, especially with our same-day care options. Others may require a healing period (usually three to six months) between implant placement and final crown placement, depending on the complexity of the case.
With our in-house technology and streamlined workflows, we reduce delays and keep your treatment as efficient as possible—while always prioritizing safety and precision.
