Dental Implant FAQ’S
-
Are Dental Implants expensive?
Dental Implants are an investment in your quality of life, appearance and health. Initially, many patients feel that Implant treatment is expensive when compared to other dental procedures. However, Dental Implants represent a more permanent and natural solution than other dental treatments; for instance complete Dentures or Partial Dentures. Dental Implants are therefore a greater initial investment. Dental Implants should last for years, even a lifetime if they are properly fitted and cared for.
In terms of cost, each case is different and it is determined upon your individual needs. Your age as well as the quality and quantity of bone in the Implant site, are all assessed. After your consultation with Dr. Whittle, we will determine your dental needs and the best treatment alternative(s) for you.
- How soon can I have my new teeth?
Your Dental Implants need to bond (integrate) with the bone after they have been put in. This takes at least 3 months in the lower jaw and 6 months in the upper jaw. In certain circumstances artificial teeth may be able to be attached much sooner than this.
- Is Dental Implant surgery painful?
'CERTAINLY NOT'. We offer a special service which was developed by Dr Jack Hahn in Cincinnati, USA, and has proved pain-free for countless patients.
- What will happen if I do not get Dental Implants?
After you have lost your tooth, gradually you will lose the bone that supported it. As the bone disappears, you may start to experience problems with other teeth nearby. As the bone continues to deteriorate, it can also affect stability of the adjacent healthy teeth. This can eventually cause further tooth loss.
- Who is bested suited to Dental Implant treatment?
Anyone who has lost one or several of their teeth is a candidate for Dental Implant treatment.
