Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between implant-supported and regular dentures?

Implant-supported dentures attach firmly to implants in your jaw, while regular dentures rest on your gums. This means implant-supported options won’t slip or move, and they help preserve your jawbone.

How many implants will I need?

Usually, 4-6 implants for a full arch of teeth. The exact number depends on your jaw structure and the type of restoration you choose. We’ll determine the best approach during your consultation.

How long does the whole process take?

Most patients complete treatment in 4-8 months. This includes healing time after implant placement. Your specific timeline may vary based on your healing and whether you need additional procedures.

What if I have bone loss in my jaw?

We can often build up your jaw with bone grafting before placing implants. This adds some time to the process but helps ensure long-term success.

Is the procedure uncomfortable?

We use modern anesthesia techniques to keep you comfortable during implant placement. Most patients say they’re surprised at how manageable the process is. After treatment, any discomfort can typically be handled with regular pain medication.
