How long does the implant process take?

Most cases span 3–9 months across multiple appointments, depending on healing, bone grafting needs, and location in the mouth.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults are. Uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, or significant bone loss can complicate cases — a Merced implant dentist can evaluate.

Are dental implants covered by insurance or Medi-Cal?

Coverage varies widely. Some PPO plans cover part of the implant, abutment, or crown. Medi-Cal coverage for implants is limited and case-specific.

Should I see an oral surgeon or a general dentist for implants?

Either can work. Oral surgeons typically handle complex surgical cases; some general dentists in Merced are implant-trained and handle straightforward cases in-house.
