Dental implants are titanium posts that permanently replace missing tooth roots, and Rochester Periodontal & Implants places them for patients throughout Greece, NY. Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants painful?
No—placement is done under local anesthesia, and most patients report less discomfort than a tooth extraction. Over-the-counter pain relief usually manages any soreness.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, dental implants can last 25 years or more, and often a lifetime. The crown may need replacement sooner than the implant itself.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with one or more missing teeth qualify, provided they have healthy gums and adequate jawbone. A consultation with a 3D scan confirms candidacy.
What if I don't have enough jawbone?
Bone grafting or a sinus lift can rebuild the area so an implant can be placed securely. This adds a few months to your overall timeline.
Does insurance cover dental implants near Greece, NY?
Coverage varies—many plans cover part of the restoration or related procedures, but not always the implant itself. We help verify your benefits before treatment.
How soon can I get started?
Many patients schedule a consultation and begin treatment shortly after. Contact us to find the next available appointment.
