Frequently Asked Questions

Dental implants, with proper maintenance and regular visits to the dentist, can last up to decades. The fixture will last forever, whereas the crown might have to be replaced after 10-15 years due to wear.

Yes. Dental implant surgery is a well-established and widely performed procedure. At Dencity, we use detailed digital imaging and thorough treatment planning to maximize safety and minimize risk.

The amount of visits is different from one person to another because it depends on your procedure. On average, patients are expected to visit the dentist during the consultation, planning, the day of the surgery, some follow-up visits, and once more for crown placement. All of that takes several months.

Smoking is known to increase the risk of implant failure by slowing healing and interfering with Osseointegration. Our team will discuss your habits honestly during consultation. Patients who are willing to reduce or stop smoking during the healing period significantly improve their chances of success.

High success rates of the implants are achieved over decades as long as the candidates are chosen right and take care of their implants properly.

The gum tissue around the implant site typically heals within one to two weeks. Osseointegration, the deeper fusion of bone with the implant takes anywhere from two to six months depending on the patient.

Even though implant failures rarely occur, they may be caused by infections, lack of enough bone tissue, lack of control of medical problems, or smoking. Identifying the problem at follow-ups can assist in solving it.

Dental implants are definitely better solutions for people who are searching for long-lasting and comfortable teeth replacements because they have numerous advantages over dentures.

The cost varies based on the number of implants, the type of restoration, whether bone grafting is needed, and other factors. A detailed cost breakdown is provided during your consultation at Dencity.

Coverage can be different majorly depending on your insurance plan. The team here can help you in understanding your options and, where possible, structure treatment in a way that makes it more manageable.

Over time, the surrounding teeth may drift, the jawbone may shrink, and your bite can shift leading to additional dental problems. Early replacement generally leads to better outcomes.

It depends on the degree of bone loss. In many cases, bone grafting can rebuild enough structure to support an implant. Techniques like All-on-4 are specifically designed to work with limited bone. A CBCT scan during your consultation gives us a clear picture of what's possible.

No. Implant crowns are custom-crafted to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. Most patients find that no one can tell the difference.

Care is simple brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend your scheduled checkups. There's no need for special cleaning products or soaking solutions.

The tooth implant consists of one tooth being replaced by one tooth implant and crown. The bridge uses two dental implants to support the bridge that would replace several adjacent missing teeth.
