The short answer
Dental implants are titanium posts placed in the jawbone that replace missing teeth from the root up, supporting a custom crown, an implant-supported bridge or a full arch of replacement teeth. Treatment begins with cone beam CT imaging and digital impressions to plan each implant position, followed by implant placement under local anesthesia and, once the implant has healed into the bone, the final restoration. Implants replace one missing tooth or many, helping you chew comfortably and speak clearly without relying on neighboring teeth.
Dental Implants: Frequently Asked Questions
- Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
- Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone density are good candidates for dental implants. Candidacy is confirmed at a consultation, where the dentist reviews your medical history, takes 3D images and discusses your goals. That review decides whether implants, bridges, dentures or a combination of options suits you.
- What is the difference between All-on-4 and traditional implants?
- Traditional implants typically replace one tooth at a time or support smaller bridges, while All-on-4 and All-on-6 use four or six implants to support an entire arch of teeth. Because a full arch rests on a small number of strategically placed implants, this approach can reduce treatment time and cost. It still provides a stable, fixed set of teeth that does not come in and out like a traditional denture.
- Are implant-supported dentures removable?
- Implant-supported dentures can be either removable or fixed. Some snap on and off the implants so you can take them out for easy cleaning, while others are permanently secured and only removed by the dentist. Both styles are reviewed with you so you can choose the one that suits your lifestyle and preferences.
- Will getting dental implants hurt?
- Implant surgery is performed with local anesthesia, so the area is numb during treatment. Additional comfort options may be available if you would like help relaxing. Most patients are surprised by how little discomfort they feel during and after treatment, and any soreness is usually managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
- How long do dental implants last?
- With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or longer, often a lifetime. Their lifespan depends on keeping the gums and bone around them healthy. Good oral hygiene, regular checkups and avoiding habits like smoking all help protect your implants.
- What if I don’t have enough bone for implants?
- If your jawbone has shrunk after tooth loss, bone grafting or other preparatory procedures can rebuild support for implants. A cone beam CT scan gives detailed 3D views of your jawbone and nerves, which guides that decision. In some cases, an All-on-4 design can make the most of existing bone and reduce the need for grafting.
- Do bridges or dentures damage surrounding teeth?
- Traditional bridges rely on neighboring teeth for support, which may require reshaping those teeth. Implant-supported options do not involve the adjacent teeth. That helps preserve natural tooth structure and jawbone.
- How long does the implant process take?
- The implant timeline depends on your individual case. A single implant may take several months from placement to final crown, while All-on-4 or implant dentures can sometimes be completed on a faster schedule. You receive a personalized timeline before treatment begins.
- Will my insurance cover dental implants or dentures?
- Coverage for implants and dentures varies by plan. Many policies help with portions of exams, X-rays, extractions, dentures or crowns, but may limit benefits for the implant posts themselves. The team reviews your benefits, estimates your out-of-pocket costs and can discuss third-party financing such as CareCredit and LendingClub.
- Do you see patients from outside Wauwatosa?
- Yes, patients from outside Wauwatosa are welcome. The office is in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, and regularly sees patients from Milwaukee, Brookfield, West Allis, Elm Grove and surrounding communities. If you are considering dental implants or tooth replacement, you can contact the office to schedule a consultation.
