Before choosing dental implants, it’s essential to ask your provider the right questions. Understanding factors like your eligibility, the implant procedure, the provider’s experience, and the recovery process ensures you’re fully informed and confident in your decision. These eight key questions empower you to choose a qualified provider, prepare for your journey, and avoid unexpected complications giving you peace of mind that you’re making the best choice for your long-term health.
Top 8 Questions to Ask To Keep You Informed About Dental Implants
- Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Ideal candidates are in good general health, and have adequate jawbone density to support the implant. If bone loss is an issue, options like bone grafting may be recommended. During your FREE consultation or second opinion at a Renew Affiliate provider will assessyour oral health and use advanced imaging to ensure implants are a safe and effective solution for you.
- What Is Your Experience with Dental Implants?
Choosing an experienced implant provider matters. Renew Affiliate Providers are skilled dentists with advanced training in implant dentistry. Renew Providers are proud to maintain a high success rate and have helped countless patients regain their smiles. Ask about our certifications, years of experience, and success stories-we’re always happy to share.
- What Type of Implant Will I Receive, and Why?
Not all implants are the same. Renew Affiliate Providers use high-quality titanium implants, selected based on your individual needs, lifestyle, and bone structure. The Renew Educational Consultant will explain the pros and cons of each material, discuss any health considerations, and recommend the best option to ensure long-term success and comfortability.
- What Does the Entire Treatment Process Involve?
Understanding the full journey helps you feel confident and prepared. The process usually begins with a consultation and imaging, followed by any necessary preparatory procedures (like extractions or grafting). Then, the implant post is surgically placed into your jawbone. After healing, an abutment and teeth are attached. You will be guided through every step, ensuring a smooth and well-coordinated experience from start to finish.
- How Long Will the Procedure and Recovery Take?
The full process can take several months, depending on your treatment plan. The implant surgery itself typically lasts 1–2 hours, but healing (osseointegration) can take 3–6 months. Renew Affiliate Providers will provide a personalized timeline based on your case, and help you plan for recovery time-including when you can return to work, eat normally, and resume physical activity.
- What Are the Risks, and How Are Complications Handled?
While dental implants are safe and have a high success rate, like any surgical procedure, there are risks-such as infection, implant failure, or nerve damage. Renew Affiliate Providers prioritize patient safety with thorough screenings, sterile procedures, and ongoing follow-up care. Should complications arise, your doctor will manage them promptly and compassionately to ensure your recovery stays on track.
- How Much Will Everything Cost, and Are There Financing Options?
Dental implants are an investment in your health and confidence. Costs can vary depending on the number of implants, materials used, and any preparatory procedures. Renew Educational Consultants provide transparent, all-inclusive pricing during your consultation and offer flexible financing options to make treatment accessible. Renew Educational Consultantsisare there to help you understand financing and payment plans.
- How Do I Prepare and Care for My Implants Long-Term?
Before surgery, The Renew Affiliate Provider will provide simple guidelines-such as fasting instructions or adjusting medications. After placement, proper oral hygiene is crucial. You will be taught how to clean around the implant, what foods to avoid during healing, and when to schedule follow-up visits. With regular dental checkups and good care at home, implants can last 20 years or more. Renew Smiles also offers our Lifetime Guarantee, so you don’t have to worry.
