Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. You may qualify if you:
- Have one or more missing or failing teeth
- Have a fully developed jawbone
- Have adequate bone density to support an implant
- Are free from uncontrolled gum disease or infection
- Are in good overall health
If you have bone loss or gum disease, you may still be a candidate after preparatory treatment. Our team will evaluate your situation during your free consultation and give you an honest assessment.

The Dental Implant Process
Getting a dental implant is a multi-step process. Here is what most patients can expect:
1
Free Consultation
We examine your teeth, gums, and jawbone. We take X-rays or 3D scans to determine if you are a good candidate. We answer all your questions.
2
Treatment Planning
Your provider creates a personalized plan. This may include preparatory steps such as a tooth extraction, bone graft, or gum treatment before implant placement.
3
Implant Placement
The titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone. This is done under local anesthesia. Most patients return to normal activity within a day or two.
4
Healing and Osseointegration
Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your bone. This creates a strong, stable foundation for your new tooth.
5
Crown Placement
Once healed, a custom-crafted crown is attached to the implant. Your restored tooth looks and functions just like the real thing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more. Many patients keep them for life.
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure is performed under anesthesia. Most patients report mild soreness afterward that fades within a few days.
How much do dental implants cost?
Cost depends on the number of implants and any preparatory procedures needed. We discuss all pricing and financing options during your free consultation.
How long does the implant process take?
The full process typically takes several months. Most of that time is the healing period after placement. Your provider will give you a clear timeline during your consultation.
Can dental implants fail?
Implant failure is rare but possible. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and poor oral hygiene are the most common risk factors. Our team will help you understand how to protect your investment.
Do dental implants look natural?
Yes. Your crown is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. Most people cannot tell the difference.
Is there an age requirement for dental implants?
Implants are recommended for adults whose jawbone has fully developed, typically by the late teenage years. There is no upper age limit.
