Dental Implant FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants

Q: “What is a dental implant?”

A: Dental implants act as replacement tooth roots that are surgically placed in the jaw bone to support either fixed single teeth or bridges, or removable dentures.

Q: “How long do dental implants last?”

A: If you take excellent care of your dental implants, they can last a lifetime. Many patients have successfully had functional implants for over 15 years, and the likelihood that your dental implant will be fully functional past 10 years is 90%. Dental implants are a very durable option for tooth replacement!

Q: “Am I a good candidate for dental implants?”

A: We can perform a thorough examination at your consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants or to make recommendations for how you can become a candidate. Tryon Family uses Biohorizon implants, they provide excellent primary stability, maximum bone maintenance and soft tissue attachment for predictable results.  The all-on-four technique uses as few as four strategically placed dental implants that will secure a cosmetic denture

Q: “What are the costs of dental implants?”

A: The final cost of dental implants treatment will vary between patients, so we encourage you to visit our office for a consultation to discuss your treatment.

Q: “Are dental implants expensive?”

A: Breakthroughs in technology have made receiving dental implants more affordable and attainable than ever before. An assessment of different treatment outcomes has shown that with a little more expense, the strength and longevity of implants is a better investment in the long term.

“I had neglected my dental care for over 20 years due to fear of the whole process. I took a leap of faith and went to this office and I am so glad I did. They understood my situation and moved forward without making me feel bad. It was an 8 month marathon of dental work. I had fillings, cleanings, wisdom teeth removed, an extraction and a wonderful implant put in. I was a hard patient to work with and the whole crew was nice to me every step of the way. Years from now when I still have my teeth I’ll have this place to thank. They fixed me up now and destroyed my fear of the dentist office for the future.”

“I just left this dentist office and I am so impressed. I was able to complete all my paperwork online so I did not have to arrive early and I had only a short wait time once there. While there I learned of tools that I could use at home and even saw what my smile would look like with Invisalign. I walked away with a good experience and my treatment plan. Friendly staff, extremely clean and I felt thoroughly taken care of. Thank you Tryon Family Dentistry”

The Latest in Aligner Technology

What Is Invisalign?

Instead of relying on metal brackets and wires to move teeth, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners custom designed for each patient’s individual treatment plan. The aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth so they don’t interfere with your normal activities or your speech. Because they are clear, they are hardly noticeable and provide the utmost discretion during treatment.
