Types of dental implants
- Single-tooth implants — replace one missing tooth with an implant + crown
- Implant-supported bridges — replace several adjacent missing teeth
- Full-arch implants (All-on-4 / All-on-6) — replace all teeth on the upper or lower jaw
- Implant-supported dentures — removable dentures that snap onto implants
- Mini implants — smaller-diameter implants for narrow jawbones
What to ask before getting implants
Implants are a multi-month commitment that involves surgery, healing, and a final restoration. Before you schedule, get clarity on:
- Total cost — including the implant, abutment, crown, x-rays, and any bone grafting
- What insurance covers and what financing is available
- The provider's training and experience with implants
- Expected timeline — typically three to six months from placement to final crown
- Warranty or guarantee on the implant and restoration
