Frequently asked questions
Are dental implants safe?
Yes. Dental implants are one of the most researched and successful procedures in modern dentistry, with success rates above 95%. Dr. Kadivar has placed implants for over 20 years using advanced 3D planning for safety and precision.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may eventually need replacement after many years of use, but the implant itself is designed to be permanent.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are candidates. Even patients with bone loss can often qualify after bone grafting or a sinus lift. A 3D scan and exam confirm your candidacy.
Does getting an implant hurt?
Implant placement is performed under local anaesthetic with sedation options available, so the procedure is comfortable. Mild post-operative soreness is normal and easily managed.
How much do dental implants cost in Markham?
Cost depends on the number of implants, the restoration type and whether grafting is needed. We provide a clear written estimate after your scan, and our team will review insurance and CDCP coverage with you.
How do I care for my dental implant?
Care for an implant just like a natural tooth: brush twice a day, floss daily and keep your regular hygiene visits at our Markham clinic. Good care is the key to a lifetime of service from your implant.
