Dental Implant FAQs

Dental Implants are titanium posts surgically embedded into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once they fuse with the bone, they create a strong foundation for replacement teeth like crowns or bridges.

With proper oral hygiene and routine check-ups at Real Smile Dentistry, dental implants can last a lifetime. However, the prosthetic tooth or crown may require replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear.

At Real Smile Dentistry, most patients experience minimal discomfort, comparing it to a routine tooth extraction. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and any post-operative pain is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.

While many patients qualify for dental implants, certain conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or gum disease, may impact their success. A thorough evaluation at our North Miami office will help determine if implants are the right option for you.

Care for your dental implants just like natural teeth—brush, floss regularly, and schedule routine check-ups at Real Smile Dentistry to maintain their longevity.

Initial recovery typically takes a few days, but full healing—where the implant fuses with the bone—can take three to six months. The timeline may vary depending on individual factors and the location of the implant.
