What is the process for getting dental implants?

The process is structured in clear, supportive steps to guide you from consultation to your final smile:

1. 1. 1. Initial Consultation – We take the time to understand your preferences, concerns, and health history. Your case is then referred to one of our trusted medical partners for expert evaluation. Based on their input, we return with a personalized treatment proposal outlining the recommended procedures, estimated timeline, and total cost.
      2. First Trip to Romania – This visit includes the placement of dental implants along with any necessary preliminary procedures, such as extractions, bone augmentation, sinus lifts, or PRFG therapy. A temporary prosthesis is placed during this phase—so you’ll leave the clinic with functional, natural-looking teeth.
      3. Healing Period – Over the next 3 to 6 months, your implants go through a healing process called osseointegration, where they integrate securely with your jawbone.
      4. Second Trip to Romania – During this visit, the implants are uncovered, and if needed, additional procedures like gingival grafts are performed. You can choose to stay in Romania for two weeks or return after a short break to complete the process.
      5. Final Restoration – Once everything is ready, your permanent full-arch restorations are placed—designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

How long does a dental implant procedure take?

The surgical placement of a single implant usually takes about 1 to 2 hours. However, the full process—from consultation to the final crown—can take 3 to 6 months, depending on healing time and whether bone grafting is needed.

What is the recovery time for dental implants?

Initial recovery from implant surgery takes about 3 to 7 days, with most patients returning to normal activities quickly. Full healing (osseointegration) typically takes 3 to 6 months, during which the implant securely bonds with the jawbone.

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients report minimal pain or discomfort, especially when sedation or local anesthesia is used during the procedure. Mild soreness after surgery is normal and can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How many appointments are needed for implants?

On average, patients need 3 to 5 appointments across the full treatment journey:

Initial consultation

Implant placement

Follow-up visits for healing checks

Final placement of the prosthesis

Your exact number of visits may vary based on your individual treatment plan.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with missing or severely damaged teeth are good candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have sufficient jawbone to support the implants, healthy gums, and good overall health. If needed, additional procedures like bone grafts or sinus lifts can be planned to prepare for implant placement. During your initial consultation, we evaluate your medical history and oral condition and refer your case to a trusted expert to determine suitability.

Are dental implants safe?

Yes, dental implants are considered a safe and well-established treatment with decades of clinical use. When placed by experienced professionals and with proper planning, implants have a success rate of over 95%. We work exclusively with clinics and surgeons who follow strict protocols to ensure your safety at every stage of the process.

What are the risks or complications of dental implants?

While rare, potential risks include infection at the implant site, nerve damage, or delayed healing. In some cases, the implant may not integrate fully with the bone, requiring re-treatment. These risks are minimized through thorough diagnostics, pre-surgical planning, and post-operative care—all coordinated for you by our team in partnership with qualified dental surgeons.

Can smokers get dental implants?

Yes, but with caution. Smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of implant failure. However, many smokers successfully receive implants with proper planning and support. We recommend quitting or reducing smoking during the healing period, and we’ll ensure your treating specialist discusses all risk factors before treatment begins.

Are dental implants permanent?

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution and can last 15 to 25 years or more with proper care. The implant post itself is intended to be permanent, while the crown or prosthesis may need replacement over time due to normal wear. Regular hygiene and follow-ups help extend the lifespan of your implants significantly.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term or even lifetime solution. The titanium implant post can last 15 to 25 years or more, while the visible crown may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear. Longevity depends on factors like oral hygiene, lifestyle, and regular dental checkups—which is why we guide you in choosing clinics that also offer ongoing care advice.

How do I take care of my dental implants?

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth:

• Brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush
• Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol
• Attend regular dental cleanings and checkups (especially after your final restoration)

We’ll provide post-treatment care instructions and connect you with professionals who ensure long-term implant success.

Can dental implants get infected?

Yes, like natural teeth, implants can develop peri-implantitis—a type of infection caused by plaque buildup around the implant. It can lead to gum inflammation, bone loss, or even implant failure if left untreated. However, good oral hygiene, regular checkups, and early intervention can prevent and manage these risks effectively.

Do you offer payment plans for dental implants?

Yes, most of our partner clinics offer flexible payment plan options. During your consultation, we’ll explain what financing solutions are available, including the possibility of splitting payments over phases of treatment. We’ll help you find a solution that fits your budget while ensuring access to top-quality care.

Can I get a free consultation for dental implants?

Absolutely. Your journey starts with a free, no-obligation consultation. You’ll submit your medical history, images or scans (if available), and describe your goals. We then forward your case to a dental specialist in our network, who will create a personalized treatment plan—including estimated costs and timeline.

How do I book an appointment?

Booking is simple. After your free consultation and once you’re ready to move forward, we coordinate everything—from treatment scheduling to travel support. You’ll receive a detailed itinerary and direct support throughout the process to make your experience smooth and worry-free.
