Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Many patients are candidates, but the answer depends on your oral health, jawbone support, medical history,
and treatment goals. A consultation with Dr. Hernandez is the best way to determine your options.
Do dental implants hurt?
Implant treatment is usually performed with local anesthesia, and many patients report that the process is
more comfortable than they expected. We’ll discuss comfort options before treatment.
How long do dental implants last?
With good home care, regular dental visits, and healthy habits, dental implants can be a long-term tooth
replacement option. Individual results vary based on health, hygiene, bite forces, and other factors.
Can implants replace dentures?
Yes. Implant-supported dentures and full-arch implant options can provide more stability than traditional
removable dentures for many patients.
What is All-on-4?
All-on-4 is a full-arch implant concept that uses dental implants to support a full upper or lower set of replacement teeth.
The right approach depends on your bone support, bite, health history, and goals.
What if I have bone loss?
Bone loss does not automatically mean you cannot get implants. In some cases, bone grafting or other planning options
may help create better support for implant treatment.
