Dental Implants — FAQ
How long does the implant process take?
From placement to final crown, most implants take 3–6 months to allow the bone to fuse with the post, though timelines vary by case.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Coverage varies widely by plan — some cover a portion of the crown but not the surgical placement. Check with your provider and the clinic's billing team.
Are implants painful?
The placement procedure is done under local anesthesia and most patients report mild soreness for a few days afterward, manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
