Implants

A Lasting Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental implants are one of the most effective and long-lasting solutions for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth—restoring your smile and helping you chew, speak, and live with confidence.

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.
