Frequently Asked Question’s

Dental implants are advanced tooth replacement solutions designed to restore both function and aesthetics. These small, screw-like titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. Over time, they naturally fuse with the bone, creating a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, implants help preserve jawbone health, prevent bone loss, and provide a secure, long-lasting solution for missing teeth.

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term, durable solution for missing teeth. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, they can last 20 years or more, and in many cases, a lifetime. The longevity of an implant depends on factors such as bone health, lifestyle habits, and overall oral care.

Yes, some advanced dental clinics like All Michigan Implants, offer same-day full mouth implants, allowing you to receive implants and temporary teeth in a single visit. This technique, often called “Teeth in a Day”, uses strategic implant placement to provide immediate function and aesthetics. However, eligibility depends on factors like jawbone density and overall oral health. A thorough consultation with our implant specialist will help determine if this option is right for you.

The dental implant procedure is typically painless thanks to local anesthesia and sedation options. Most patients report mild discomfort after the procedure, similar to a tooth extraction. Any soreness can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, and most people resume normal activities within a few days.

If a dental implant supporting your denture becomes damaged or fails, it can often be replaced with a new implant through a straightforward procedure. The extent of the impact on your denture will depend on the implant’s location and the overall stability of the restoration. Our specialist will assess the situation and discuss the best course of action, including possible solutions to minimize disruptions. Regular check-ups and proper oral care can help prevent implant-related issues and ensure long-term success.

If you have insufficient jawbone for traditional dental implants, advanced techniques such as bone grafting, sinus lifts, or zygomatic implants may be recommended to create a strong foundation for your new teeth. These procedures help restore lost bone and improve implant stability. During your consultation, our implant specialist will evaluate your jawbone health and discuss the best solutions tailored to your needs, ensuring a long-lasting and successful outcome.

Yes, dental implants are a safe and well-established treatment with decades of success in modern dentistry. They are made from biocompatible materials like titanium, which integrate with the jawbone naturally. Our specialists follow strict protocols to ensure a safe, comfortable, and successful implant procedure.

Yes, in many cases, immediate dental implant placement is possible right after a tooth extraction, provided you have sufficient bone density and healthy gums. This approach helps preserve bone, shortens the overall treatment timeline, and may allow for a temporary restoration on the same day. However, eligibility depends on individual factors such as oral health and bone condition. During your consultation, our implant specialist will assess your case and recommend the best treatment plan for optimal results.

No, dental implants cannot develop cavities since they are made of artificial materials like titanium and ceramic. However, the surrounding gums and bone must remain healthy to support the implant. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are essential for long-term success.

Smoking can increase the risk of dental implant failure by slowing healing and affecting bone integration. However, smokers can still be candidates for implants with proper precautions. Quitting or significantly reducing smoking before and after the procedure greatly improves the success rate. During your consultation, our specialist will assess your oral health and provide guidance on the best approach to ensure long-term implant stability.

• Dental Implants are permanent, fixed solutions that integrate with your jawbone, providing stability, durability, and a natural feel.
• Dentures are removable appliances that sit on the gums and may require adhesives for stability. While they offer an affordable alternative, they do not prevent bone loss like implants do.

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth:
✔ Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush.
✔ Floss regularly to clean around the implant.
✔ Use an antibacterial mouthwash.
✔ Attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings.
✔ Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
