Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a game-changer in restorative dentistry. They are not just about replacing missing teeth; they're about restoring your confidence, functionality, and quality of life. Implants provide a durable and reliable foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
The Many Benefits of Dental Implants
- Natural Look and Feel: Implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants don't require altering adjacent teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Enhanced Comfort and Confidence: They eliminate the discomfort and insecurity associated with removable dentures.
- Durability: Implants are designed to last many years, often a lifetime with proper care.
- Convenience: No need for messy adhesives! Implants are a permanent solution. Unlike removable dentures, they will never slip when you eat or speak.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They serve as a sturdy base for supporting one or more artificial teeth, known as crowns.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants integrate with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a secure foundation for the attachment of custom-made crowns, which are designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size.
Who is a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good overall health and adequate jawbone density to support implants are candidates. Smokers or those with certain medical conditions may need additional evaluation. Our team at De Zavala Dental and Braces will assess your suitability for implants.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report that the discomfort associated with dental implant surgery is minimal. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure to minimize pain, and post-operative discomfort is typically managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants involves regular brushing and flossing, just like natural teeth. It’s also important to visit De Zavala Dental and Braces for regular checkups and cleanings to ensure the health of your implants.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a high success rate, often cited at 95% or higher. Factors like the location of the implant in the jaw and the patient’s overall health can influence success.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants varies depending on several factors, including the number of implants and the complexity of the case. At De Zavala Dental and Braces, we provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss financing options during your consultation.
What is the recovery time for dental implant surgery?
Recovery time varies, but most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two following surgery. Complete healing and integration of the implant into the jawbone typically take several months..
Can dental implants fail?
While rare, dental implant failure can occur, usually due to poor oral hygiene, smoking, or pre-existing medical conditions. Our team takes every precaution to minimize the risk of failure and ensure the success of your implant.
Are dental implants noticeable?
No, dental implants are discreet and look and function just like natural teeth.
Can I eat normally with dental implants?
Absolutely! Dental implants allow you to enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care, making them a worthwhile investment.
Is the dental implant process painful?
Rest assured, our friendly and knowledgeable team ensures your comfort throughout the procedure. You will receive local anesthesia and sedation during your implant procedure so that you will feel relaxed and pain-free throughout. Post-op discomfort is also typically minimal and can be controlled with over-the-counter pain relievers.
