The length of time to complete your dental implant treatment will vary depending on a few factors such as how many teeth need to be replaced and how complex your case may be. Generally, patients can expect the implant process to last anywhere from two to nine months, the majority of which is healing time. During this time, you will meet with your dentist for several appointments to assess progress and make sure the implant is healing properly. After the implant has healed it will be fitted with a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to restore your smile.

Dental implants, just like natural teeth, require good oral hygiene habits. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily and regular visits to your dentist. You should also avoid smoking and eating foods that are high in sugar or starch as these can increase the risk of plaque buildup or infection around the implant. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. 

Generally yes, but it is important to tell your dentist about any existing medical conditions you may have. Some medical conditions may affect the success of your dental implant and your dentist will need to evaluate whether or not an implant is appropriate for you. 

The dental implant procedure is typically done with an anesthetic to ensure that you are comfortable during the entire process. After your implant has been placed, most people feel some mild discomfort and swelling for a few days afterwards, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Most patients report that the discomfort associated with dental implants is much less than what they experienced with their original tooth loss. 

The cost of your implant treatment will depend on several factors such as how many teeth need to be replaced and the complexity of your case. Generally, however, dental implants can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the number of teeth that need to be replaced and the materials used in the treatment.
