What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a titanium post or screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace one or more missing teeth. The implant osseointegrates (fuses) with the jawbone over 3 to 6 months, creating a permanent foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Clinical research demonstrates long-term success rates exceeding 95% over 10 years.

How long does a dental implant procedure take?

A single dental implant placement without extraction typically takes less than 30 minutes. If tooth extraction and bone grafting are required at the same visit, the procedure may take approximately one hour.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Most adults are good candidates for dental implants. Patients with insufficient bone due to resorption can still receive implants after bone grafting procedures.

All-on-4 (also called All-on-X) is a full-arch dental implant procedure for patients who are edentulous or whose remaining teeth cannot be saved. Four or more titanium implants are placed per arch to support a fixed prosthesis.

How much do dental implants cost in Charlotte NC?

The cost varies based on the number of implants needed, type of prosthesis, and whether supplemental procedures like bone grafting are required. Charlotte Dental Implant Center offers free consultations including a complete oral evaluation and cone-beam CT scan. Call (704) 375-4252.

Does it hurt to get dental implants?

No. Dental implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia. Post-surgical symptoms are temporary and manageable with over-the-counter medications. Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 days.

How soon after tooth extraction can you get a dental implant?

Charlotte Dental Implant Center offers immediate implant placement at the time of tooth extraction. The implant can also be placed at any time after extraction.

How do I care for dental implants?

Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss once daily, and schedule regular dental checkups and professional cleanings.
