Does getting an implant hurt?

The team numbs the area so you won't feel pain during the visit. Most people say it feels easier than having a tooth pulled out. If you feel a little sore later, it usually goes away in a day or two with the regular medicine you have at home.

How do I clean my new dental implants?

You take care of them just like your real teeth. You should brush twice a day and floss to keep your gums healthy. Going to your regular cleanings is also important so the team can make sure everything stays in great shape.

Can anyone get these new teeth?

Most adults with healthy gums and enough bone in their jaw are perfect for this. If your bone is a bit thin, the team can often do a simple step to make it stronger before the implant goes in.

How long does the whole process take?

The journey usually takes a few months because your jawbone needs time to grow around the new post. This waiting is what makes implants so strong and why they last so much longer than other choices.
