How often should I come in for a cleaning?
The practice recommends routine exams and cleanings twice a year, roughly every six months, and will let you know if you or your children need to come in more often due to a dental problem.
How long does the dental implant process take?
Dr. Farokhian first places the implant post into your jawbone, then you wait several weeks or even months while the jawbone heals and fuses with it before the connector and crown are attached. The whole process can take as long as nine months, depending on how much time your jawbone needs to heal.
