Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the most durable and natural-looking way to replace missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants are surgically embedded in the jawbone, creating a foundation that mimics real tooth roots.
Benefits of dental implants include:
- Permanent, stable replacements for missing teeth
- Improved chewing power and speech
- Prevention of jawbone loss and facial collapse
- No adhesives or removal required
- Long-term investment in your oral health and appearance
Using 3D CT scanning and digital planning, we ensure every implant is placed with precision and designed to last. Our in-house dental lab lets us create custom crowns, bridges, and dentures faster than typical offices.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long to dental implants last?
Implants themselves are designed to be permanent — the titanium post that fuses to your jawbone can last a lifetime with proper care. The crown or restoration on top typically lasts 10–20 years depending on wear and how well it's maintained.
2. Are dental implants painful?
Most patients are surprised by how manageable the process is. We use local anesthesia and sedation options to keep you comfortable throughout. Post-procedure soreness is normal for a few days, but most patients say it's less intense than they expected — often easier than a tooth extraction.
3. Am I a candidate for dental implants if I have bone loss?
Possibly, yes. Many patients are told elsewhere that they don't qualify because of bone loss. We offer advanced solutions including mini implants, zygomatic implants, and pterygoid implants specifically for patients with low bone density. If you've been turned away before, it's worth asking us.
4. Am I a candidate for dental implants if I have bone loss?
Possibly, yes. Many patients are told elsewhere that they don't qualify because of bone loss. We offer advanced solutions including mini implants, zygomatic implants, and pterygoid implants specifically for patients with low bone density. If you've been turned away before, it's worth asking us.
5. How much do dental implants cost?
Cost depends on how many implants you need, the type of restoration, and the condition of your mouth going in. We offer financing through Cherry and Proceed to make treatment accessible. The best way to get an accurate number is to schedule a consultation — we'll give you a clear breakdown with no surprises.
6. How long does the implant process take?
We have same-day capabilities thanks to our in-house lab, so in many cases you leave with a new smile the same day. Full osseointegration — where the implant fuses to the bone — takes 3 to 6 months. Dr. Truong will walk you through exactly what your timeline looks like based on your case.
7. Why should I see a prosthodontist for implants instead of a general dentist?
A prosthodontist completes 3 additional years of specialty training after dental school focused specifically on implants, full-mouth restorations, and complex cases. Dr. Truong spent over 11 years in training and served as Chief Doctor at the University of Florida Prosthodontics and Implant program. General dentists can place implants, but a prosthodontist is the specialist the dental field designates for this exact type of work.
8. What happens if an implant fails?
Implant failure is rare, but it does happen — usually due to infection, insufficient bone integration, or underlying health factors. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Truong is trained to assess and manage complications, including cases where previous implants from other providers have failed.
9. Do implants look and feel like real teeth?
Yes. Because the implant is anchored in your jawbone, it functions and feels like a natural tooth root. Dr. Truong custom-designs each crown or restoration in our in-house lab, matching the color, shape, and size to your mouth and face specifically — not off a shelf.
