What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath your gums. These posts act as sturdy anchors for replacement teeth, which are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Implants not only restore the appearance of your smile but also improve chewing and speaking abilities for patients with weak or missing teeth.
-
Does dental insurance cover implants?
Implant coverage varies based on your individual insurance plan. Our fee for implant placement is $2,550, and the implant crown with abutment is $3,051. We will always verify your benefits, help you maximize any available coverage, and provide a precise estimate before treatment so there are no surprises.
-
Do dental implants hurt?
The dental implant procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so patients don’t feel pain during the surgery. After the procedure, some discomfort is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most of our patients find that any discomfort is minimal and well worth the benefits of having a restored, beautiful smile.

How long does the dental implant process take from start to finish?
In some cases, a tooth can be extracted and implants can be placed and loaded on the same day. However, based on your specific needs, a waiting period may be required between extraction, implant placement, and implant loading. The whole process typically takes several months, allowing sufficient time for healing and achieving optimal results. After your implant is placed, the bone naturally bonds with it, creating a strong foundation for your new tooth. We’ll discuss the full details of your case and the needed treatment time during your personalized consultation.
