“My first visit to Dr. Kim was a great experience. She immediately puts you at ease with her calm and sweet demeanor. The most impressive part of my visit was that Dr. Kim took the time to show me my problem areas on my x-rays, which I have never had a dentist do before. This helped me to know why and how to care for my teeth better, thus motivating me to do so. I never felt rushed. She and her staff have a special way of making your visit personalized, comfortable and stress-free.”

FAQ

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or longer. The titanium post integrates with the jawbone, creating a strong and lasting foundation for your new teeth.

Are dental implants painful?

The dental implant procedure is generally well-tolerated. Local anesthesia is used during surgery, and most patients experience mild discomfort during recovery, which can be managed with medication. For full arch implants, sedation may be used by the oral surgeon to ensure you are absolutely comfortable.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Good candidates for dental implants have enough bone density in the jaw and are free from serious medical conditions that could interfere with healing. A consultation with Dr. Kim will determine if implants are right for you.

How long does the dental implant process take?

The entire dental implant process can take multiple months, as it involves multiple stages, including the placement of the implant, healing time for osseointegration, and attaching the replacement teeth. You will always be with teeth during the process.

What are the benefits of dental implants over a bridge?

Dental implants provide greater stability and bite force compared to bridges. Bridges require you to use the surrounding teeth for support, which can strain them overtime. Implants allow you to just focus on the area of concern without compromising other teeth.

How do I take care of dental implants?

Dental implants require regular brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups just like natural teeth. Every two years, the prosthesis will be removed to be cleaned and attachment screws replaced. Attachment screws are small screws that attach the prosthesis (teeth replacement) to the implant (root replacement).

You can think of attachment screws like tires on your car that need to be changed out from time to time. Good home care is very important to ensure the longevity of your implants and overall health.
