FAQ
Questions patients ask
Am I too old for a dental implant?+
Age alone does not decide candidacy. General health, medications, healing capacity, bone, oral hygiene, and the ability to maintain the restoration all matter.
Can I receive a tooth the same day?+
Some patients may qualify for an immediate provisional tooth or restoration, while others benefit from staged healing. Stability, bone, bite, and risk factors guide that decision.
Will I need bone grafting?+
Not every patient does. Imaging and examination help determine whether the available bone can support the planned implant and restoration.
How long does implant treatment take?+
Timing varies from case to case. It depends on extraction needs, grafting, healing, implant stability, the number of implants, and the final restoration.
