Q. How long does it take to get an appointment for a free consultation to see if I am a candidate for dental implants?

Q. Can implants be placed in both jaws?

Q. How many implants would I need?
A. Depending on the amount of bone you have, you may have anywhere from two implants in the lower jaw to help stabilize a lower denture, to four, six or even in some cases eight in the upper jaw so that a permanent bridge can be placed.

Q. What happens if I should move to another state after I have implants placed in your office?

Q. I would like to have dental implants but I cannot afford to spend very much money at this particular time. Is it possible to have one or two implants placed at a time?

Q. What are the most significant changes in Implant dentistry in the last five years?
A. New Implant design and improved attachments allows dentist to restore patients chewing abilities more simply, faster and lest costly than before.

Q. Why should I have 4, 6 or 8 implants if 2 will do the job?
A. If you have 4-8 implants, you may have a permanent bridge (a bridge that you cannot remove but the dentist can remove). This is the closest thing to natural teeth. Two implants can make a dramatic difference in one’s ability to chew, speak and laugh, however, you still have an appliance that is removable.

Q. If I start out with 2 implants, is it possible to add more implants at a later date and still have a permanent bridge?
A. Yes, provided that there is sufficient bone to place the additional implants.
