Dental Implants

Replace missing teeth with a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth. Dental implants restore your smile, your bite, and your confidence.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses naturally with the bone over several months. Once integrated, a custom-made crown is attached to the post, creating a replacement tooth that's virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don't rely on neighboring teeth for support. They stand on their own, preserving the health of surrounding teeth and preventing the bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing.

The Implant Process

1

Consultation & Planning

We evaluate your oral health, take detailed imaging, and create a personalized treatment plan. We'll discuss your options, timeline, and answer all your questions.

2

Implant Placement

The titanium implant post is surgically placed into your jawbone. This outpatient procedure is performed with local anesthesia for your comfort.

3

Healing & Integration

Over 3-6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration, creating a solid foundation for your new tooth.

4

Crown Placement

Once fully healed, a custom-crafted porcelain crown is attached to the implant. The crown is color-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your smile.

Are Implants Right for You?

Most adults with good general health are candidates for dental implants. Adequate jawbone density is needed to support the implant, though bone grafting can often address this. If you have missing teeth or are facing extraction, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. Our team will evaluate your specific situation and help you understand all your options.
