## Dental Implants — /dental-implants-burlington
**Q: How much do dental implants cost in Burlington?**
Cost depends on the number of implants and whether extra steps like bone grafting are needed. We provide a clear, written quote after a consultation and help you apply any CDCP or insurance coverage.
**Q: Are dental implants painful?**
Most patients are surprised how comfortable it is. The procedure is done under local anesthetic with our gentle approach, and any soreness afterward is usually mild and managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
**Q: How long do dental implants last?**
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, dental implants can last decades and often a lifetime. The crown on top may eventually need replacement after many years of wear.
**Q: Does the Canadian Dental Care Plan cover implants?**
Coverage depends on your CDCP eligibility and clinical need. Our Burlington team reviews your coverage and gives you a transparent estimate before any treatment begins.
