Dr. Justin Deckard, Dr. Andrew Balshaw, and the staff at DC Precision Dentistry offer dental implants to replace missing teeth.
Dental implants consist of a titanium post, abutment, and dental crown, which fill in a gap left by a missing tooth. Learn more about dental implants below:
Dental Implant FAQs
Are dental implants painful?
At the most, you should feel minimal pain during the dental implant procedure. Anesthesia is used to numb the area during treatment for your comfort.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental crowns can last 15 or more years with the right dental care. The titanium posts that make up dental implants should be permanent restorations.
How soon after tooth extraction can you have an implant?
Sometimes a dental implant can be placed the same day as a tooth extraction. However, it usually takes a healing period of 3 to 6 months before implants are able to be placed.
