With the right care, a dental implant can last a lifetime. That means brushing and flossing regularly at home and keeping up with routine dental cleanings and checkups.

Caring for a dental implant is much like caring for your natural teeth. Keeping up with regular dental checkups and cleanings, along with daily brushing and flossing at home, helps keep your gums and surrounding teeth healthy, supporting the long-term success of your implant.

During dental implant surgery, your dentist will use anesthesia to keep you comfortable, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure. Afterward, most people experience only mild discomfort, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication for a few days.

The full dental implant process usually takes around three to six months, though the exact timeline can vary depending on your treatment plan.

Coverage for dental implants can vary. Some insurance plans may cover the full cost, others only a portion, and some may not cover it at all. The best way to know what your plan covers is to check directly with your insurance provider before starting treatment.

Teeth whitening results aren’t permanent, and over time, your teeth may begin to pick up new stains. How long your results last can vary from person to person, depending on diet and daily habits. Keeping up with good oral hygiene can help maintain your results, and some people choose to have a touch-up treatment after about a year.

Dental insurance does not typically cover the cost of teeth whitening because it is considered a cosmetic procedure rather than a medically necessary treatment.

Some people may notice temporary tooth sensitivity after a whitening treatment. This is a common short-term effect and, for most patients, it typically settles within a few days.

In general, yellow or brown stains tend to respond best to teeth whitening treatments. Some types of discolouration, however, may not lighten as much with whitening alone.

Teeth whitening treatments work on natural tooth enamel, so they typically will not change the colour of restorations such as crowns or veneers.

When used correctly and under the guidance of a qualified dentist, teeth whitening is generally safe and unlikely to harm your enamel.
