Dental Implants FAQs

What are dental implants?
Dental implants are special prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth. They usually consist of a titanium screw that is implanted into the jawbone, a supportive abutment that protrudes above the bone and a crown which looks just like a natural tooth.

How are dental implants placed?
The process of placing dental implants starts with an incision in the gumline to reveal the bone, followed by drilling into the bone to create an opening before finally inserting the screw or the base of the implant. Afterwards, time is given for the gums to heal and the implant to be integrated into the bone, after which the abutment and crown are placed.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Anyone who has one or more missing teeth, sufficiently strong jawbone structure and generally good oral health can be a candidate for dental implants.

Can dental implants replace multiple missing teeth?
Dental implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth, though sometimes, if a full row of teeth need to be replaced, a whole arch of dental implants is made, similar to dentures, which are held in place with a few screws.

How much do dental implants cost?
Dental implants costs can reach up to $20,000 or even $100,000 for a full mouth, making them much more expensive than dentures and dental bridges. The actual cost, though, depends on several factors and in some cases, can be covered by insurance.
