Frequently asked questions
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom porcelain crown is attached on top, creating a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good general health and adequate jawbone density are candidates. Dr. Olson will evaluate your situation and coordinate with trusted oral surgeons to determine the best treatment plan for you.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The porcelain crown on top may need replacement after 10 to 15 years, but the implant post itself is designed to be permanent.
Does Dr. Olson place the implant post?
Dr. Olson works closely with trusted oral surgeons who surgically place the implant post. Dr. Olson then designs and places the custom crown restoration on top, ensuring a seamless, natural result.
