Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions regarding their treatment options. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following implant-related questions:

1. Am I a good candidate for implants?
   
   
2. How high is my risk for implant failure?
   
   
3. What type of implant is best for me?
   
   
4. Will I need to undergo any other surgeries, such as a bone graft, before getting implants?
   
   
5. What type of dental restoration, such as crowns or dentures, will my implants support?
   
   
6. How can I care for this type of restoration?
   
   
7. How long will the implantation process take?
   
   
8. Will I have to go without teeth while my gums heal? If so, for how long?
   
   
9. What type of pain medications will I be given after the surgery?
   
   
10. When can I resume my normal diet following surgery?
