Implants

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root. Over time, the implant fuses with your bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Natural Appearance – Designed to blend seamlessly with your smile.
• Long-Term Durability – With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
• Bone Preservation – Stimulates the jawbone, preventing bone loss.
• Improved Function – Restores normal chewing and speaking abilities.
• Comfort & Stability – No slipping or discomfort like removable dentures.

The Dental Implant Process

• Consultation & Planning – We'll check your teeth, gums, and bone health, and take a 3D scan to evaluate your bone quality and plan the most accurate implant placement.
• Implant Placement – The titanium post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
• Healing Period – The bone heals and integrates with the implant over several months.
• Restoration – A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the implant.

Are You a Candidate for Implants?

Dental implants are a great option for most adults who have:

• One or more missing teeth
• Healthy bone with enough density to support the implant
• Good oral and overall health
• A commitment to proper oral hygiene

Even if you've been told you don't have enough bone, modern techniques such as bone grafting can make implants possible.
