Single-Tooth Implants: common questions
Am I a candidate for an implant?
Most adults with healthy gums and enough bone are. A consultation and radiograph confirm whether it's right for you.
How long does the process take?
It usually spans a few months to let the implant integrate with the bone before the final crown is placed.
