Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Common Questions About Dental Implants:
A dental implant is a long-term solution for missing teeth. It includes three parts: a titanium or ceramic post placed in the jawbone, an abutment that connects to the post, and a crown, bridge, or denture that looks like a natural tooth. The implant functions like a real tooth root, giving you strong bone support and a stable base to restore one or more missing teeth—even a full arch.
Dental implants are the only option that replaces both the root and crown of a missing tooth. Anchored directly into your jawbone, they encourage bone growth and help maintain your facial structure. With proper care, implants can last for decades. They offer unmatched comfort, chewing function, and a natural appearance—making them the best long-term choice in tooth replacement.
Dental implants succeed more than 95% of the time, making them one of the most reliable options in modern dentistry. This high success rate comes from decades of research, improved surgical techniques, and custom treatment planning. When paired with regular dental visits and good home care, implants can last for many years—often a lifetime.
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are great candidates. Even if you’ve had bone loss or need an extraction, procedures like bone grafting can help prepare your mouth. Your dentist will review your oral health, bone density, and medical history to determine if implants are the right fit for you.
he cost of implants depends on several things—how many teeth need replacement, how long they’ve been missing, the materials used, and whether you need additional procedures like grafting. At Dr. Friedberg & Associates, we’ll give you a personalized treatment plan with transparent pricing. We also offer financing and can handle insurance claims to help make your care affordable.
Dental implant surgery is quick, precise, and minimally invasive. Most procedures take only a few hours. Using custom surgical guides, your provider places the implant with high accuracy. The exact timing depends on your treatment plan. No matter how long it takes, you’ll stay comfortable thanks to modern anesthesia and sedation options.
Recovery is usually smooth. Most patients feel mild soreness or swelling for a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief often helps. You can return to light activity in a day or two and resume your usual routine within a week. Stick to soft foods during early healing. It usually takes several months for the implant to fully fuse with your jawbone for long-term stability.
The full process varies. Some patients finish in a few months, while others—especially those needing bone grafts or extra procedures—may need up to a year. Once your plan is in place, we can often place the implant shortly after. Osseointegration (bone fusion) takes about three to six months. During this time, you may wear a temporary restoration until your final crown, bridge, or denture is ready.
Caring for implants is like caring for natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and schedule routine dental cleanings. While implants won’t decay, gum health still matters. Good hygiene prevents complications. Consider using a water flosser or interdental brush to clean around the implant and reach tight spaces.
With proper care, dental implants can last decades—and often a lifetime. Their lifespan depends on your oral hygiene, general health, and your dentist’s experience. Choosing a trusted provider like Dr. Friedberg & Associates helps ensure precise placement and long-term success, giving you the best return on your investment.
