What Are Dental Implants?
Your Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth & Restored Confidence
Dental implants are a revolutionary solution in modern dentistry, specifically designed to replace missing teeth from the root up. Here at SmileLuxe, our experts specialize in surgically placing a small, biocompatible post - typically made of titanium - directly into your jawbone. This post acts as a durable artificial tooth root, naturally fusing with your bone over time. Once integrated, it provides a incredibly strong and stable foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or even dentures, allowing you to regain full chewing function, a natural-looking smile, and lasting oral health.

Dental Implant FAQs
Explore our frequently asked questions to learn how dental implants restore your smile, improve functionality, and support long-term oral health.
What are dental implants and how do they work?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They fuse with the bone (osseointegration), creating a stable foundation for a replacement tooth or bridge.
What's the difference between dental implants and veneers?
Dental implants replace missing teeth, including the root, providing a complete tooth replacement solution. Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of existing teeth to improve their cosmetic appearance.
How painful are dental implants?
Most patients report minimal discomfort, often comparing it to a tooth extraction. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, and any post-operative pain is typically manageable with medication.
How long is the recovery process after implant surgery?
Initial healing usually takes a few days to a week, with most swelling subsiding within 48-72 hours. Full osseointegration (bone fusion) can take 3-6 months before the final crown is placed
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and oral hygiene, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.
What kind of maintenance do dental implants require?
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups with your dentist and hygienist.
Does insurance pay for dental implants?
Coverage varies significantly by insurance plan. While some may cover a portion of the cost, many do not cover the full procedure. We recommend checking with your specific provider.
Are there financing options available for dental implants?
Many dental practices offer various financing plans, including third-party payment options or in-house payment schedules, to help make dental implants more affordable. Please make sure to contact us for more information.
