How dental implants replace teeth
An implant is placed in the jaw to support a crown, bridge, or denture. The right approach depends on how many teeth are missing and your oral health.
Several missing teeth
Implants can support a bridge or denture. An evaluation helps determine the design and number of implants.
Your teeth, gums, and bone
The dentist reviews your mouth and health history to assess whether implant treatment is suitable.
Costs and alternatives
Compare implants with bridges or dentures. Ask for an estimate that explains the proposed treatment and replacement teeth.
What implant treatment involves
Treatment includes planning, implant placement, healing, and fitting the replacement teeth. Timing depends on your care plan.

Dental implant questions
Answers to help you prepare for your visit.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth root and supports a replacement tooth, such as a crown. Implants may also support a bridge or denture when several teeth are missing.
How do I know whether implants are right for me?
A dentist needs to assess your mouth, bone support, health history, and goals. The consultation can compare implants with bridges and dentures and explain which options fit your situation.
Can implants replace more than one tooth?
Yes. The design may involve individual replacement teeth or an implant-supported bridge or denture. Your dentist will explain the number and placement of implants needed for your proposed plan.
How long does implant treatment take?
The schedule depends on the treatment plan, healing, and whether other care is needed first. Ask for the stages and estimated timeline for your own case, including when the final replacement teeth would be fitted.
Will I need other treatment before an implant?
That depends on the examination. Your dentist may need to address existing dental problems or discuss additional preparation before recommending an implant. Ask which steps are included in your estimate.
How do I care for an implant?
Implants and replacement teeth need ongoing home care and dental visits. Ask the team to demonstrate how to clean around your particular restoration and explain your follow-up schedule.
What is included in the implant estimate?
Ask whether the estimate includes the implant placement, connecting parts, final crown or other restoration, imaging, and any additional procedures. Coverage and financing depend on your plan and provider terms.
How do I book an implant consultation?
