What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial roots made from biocompatible materials like titanium. Surgically placed into the jawbone, they offer a stable base for attaching replacement teeth. Through a process called osseointegration, implants fuse with the jawbone, ensuring long-term durability and strength.
How much does most dental insurance pay for implants?
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of dental implants, typically between 50% and 80% of the procedure, depending on your specific plan and coverage.
Who is best to place dental implants?
Dental implants should be placed by an experienced dentist or oral surgeon with specialized training in implant dentistry. Dr. Adam Vitelli has extensive experience in this field, ensuring high-quality care and successful outcomes.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential to maintaining the longevity of your implants.
Are dental implants worth the money?
Many patients find dental implants to be a worthwhile investment due to their durability, functionality, and natural appearance. They offer a permanent solution to missing teeth, improving overall quality of life.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the dental implant procedure. Local anesthesia is used during the surgery, and any post-operative pain can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Our Dental Implants Process
- Consultation: Dr. Adam Vitelli will assess your dental health and discuss your goals to determine if dental implants are the best solution for you.
- Implant Placement: The implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone. A healing period follows to allow the implant to integrate with the bone.
- Abutment Attachment: After healing, an abutment is placed on the implant, serving as a connector for the replacement tooth.
- Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration and providing a natural-looking, functional tooth.
