A member asked:
Is it really worth it in time and money to the patient if it takes one year til final restoration with an implant crown (after needed grafting,etc.)?

Definitely, yes: Dental implants are the best long-term solution for missing teeth. Your new tooth will look and function just like your other natural teeth or better. The most important part is that with a good oral hygiene, dental implants can last a lifetime!

Most Certainly...: But why ask dental professionals who do these procedures all the time and see the fantastic results? Your periodontist, general dentist, or oral surgeons must have patients who can give you a testimonial on how comfortable they are and how it was worth it. Don't just take our word for it.
