- Healthy gums and adequate bone (we verify with digital X-rays/3D imaging)
- Good oral hygiene habits
- No uncontrolled medical conditions or smoking that could slow healing
Not sure where you stand? We’ll evaluate your smile and—if needed—coordinate bone grafting or periodontal care to get you ready. ¡Hablamos español!

Dental Implant FAQs
How long do dental implants last?
With routine checkups and good home care, implants can last decades.
Will my implant look like a real tooth?
Yes. Your final crown is color-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your smile.
Am I too old for implants?
Age isn’t the deciding factor—your overall health and bone support are. Many seniors are excellent candidates.
What if I don’t have enough bone?
We’ll evaluate with imaging and discuss options such as bone grafting or an implant-supported denture.
Do you offer same-day teeth?
In select cases we can place a temporary tooth the same day. We’ll let you know if that’s appropriate for your situation.
