Dental implants have a very high success rate, typically around 95-98%. Success depends on factors like your overall health, oral hygiene, and the expertise of your dentist. At Smile & Shine, we use advanced technology and materials to maximize implant success.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crowns or dentures attached to the implants may need replacement every 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implants themselves are designed to be permanent.
Most people with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. A thorough evaluation, including 3D X-rays, is done to ensure sufficient bone and good overall health for the procedure. Bone grafting may be required in cases where bone density is low.
The entire dental implant process typically takes 3-6 months, depending on healing time and the complexity of the case. For most patients, we place a temporary restoration after the surgery, and the final prosthesis is placed within 7-14 days.
The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, so you should feel no pain. Some discomfort and swelling can be expected after the surgery, but this can be managed with prescribed pain medications and should subside within a few days.
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush and floss regularly, and visit us annually for cleaning and check-ups to ensure the long-term health of your implants.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on the type of implant and any additional procedures like bone grafting. Single dental implant prices start from ฿35,000, and we offer flexible payment plans to make treatment more affordable. Contact us for a personalized quote.

Most patients experience some minor swelling and discomfort after the procedure, which should subside within a few days. During the healing phase (3-6 months), it’s important to follow post-surgery instructions and avoid certain foods to ensure proper healing.
