What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone to replace
- Single missing teeth
- Multiple missing teeth (implant-supported bridges)
- All teeth in one or both arches (All-on-4 or full-arch restoration)
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support and help maintain jawbone density that would otherwise be lost after tooth extraction. Dr. Azzouni uses 3D CBCT imaging and digital treatment planning to place implants with millimeter precision, ensuring optimal positioning for long-term success and natural-looking results.

What to Expect During Your Dental Implants
Before Your Procedure
Dr. Azzouni will evaluate your oral health, take 3D x-rays, and create a digital treatment plan. If you need bone grafting to strengthen your jaw, this will be done first. We’ll discuss timeline, costs, and financing options.
During the Procedure
The surgical placement of the implant typically takes 1-2 hours per implant. Most patients choose IV sedation for complete comfort. Dr. Azzouni places the titanium post into your jawbone with precision, then covers it with protective tissue. You’ll receive a temporary restoration if needed for aesthetics.
After the Procedure
Mild discomfort for 1-3 days (manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers). Soft foods for first week. Return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. The implant must fuse with your jawbone (3-6 months) before the final crown is attached.
Recovery After Dental Implants
Mild discomfort for 1-3 days • Soft foods for first week • Return to normal activities within 24-48 hours • No smoking (impairs healing)
Implant fuses with jawbone • Temporary restoration if needed • Regular checkups to monitor healing
Custom crown attached • Looks and feels like natural tooth • Resume all normal eating • Implants can last 20+ years with proper care
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
Quick answers to common questions about cost, recovery, and procedure details
How much do dental implants cost
A single dental implant with crown typically costs $3,000-$5,000. Multiple implants, bone grafting, or full-arch restoration will cost more. We provide detailed cost breakdowns during your consultation and offer financing through CareCredit. Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of implant treatment.
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure is performed under sedation, so you won’t feel anything during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is typically less than a tooth extraction and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 20+ years or even a lifetime. The titanium post itself is extremely durable. The crown may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant foundation remains intact.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults in good general health are candidates for dental implants. The key requirement is sufficient jawbone to support the implant. If you’ve been missing teeth for a long time, you may need bone grafting first. During your consultation, Dr. Azzouni will assess your candidacy and discuss any preparatory treatments needed.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a 95-98% success rate when placed by an experienced oral surgeon. Factors that affect success include oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes management, and following post-operative instructions. Dr. Azzouni’s extensive training and use of 3D imaging technology contribute to predictable, successful outcomes.
