Dental implants are made of pure titanium, a medical grade material that is documented to be well-accepted by the body. A properly fitted dental implant can last a lifetime.

2.) How long does the procedure take?

The total length of your implant procedure will depend on the number of implants you are receiving and what other procedures are required.

3.) Am I an implant candidate?

Houston Prosthodontist, Dr. Yepez will be able to determine if you are a candidate for implants based on the quality and quantity of your jaw bone and other medical conditions/considerations you may have.
