Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. These titanium posts are surgically placed in the jawbone where they fuse naturally with the bone, providing a permanent, stable foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Look and feel like natural teeth
• Preserve jawbone health and prevent bone loss
• No adhesives or removal required
• Can last a lifetime with proper care
• Eat, speak, and smile with confidence

The Implant Process

Treatment typically occurs in stages over several months:

• Consultation: Comprehensive exam including 3D imaging to assess bone density and plan placement
• Placement: The titanium implant is surgically placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia
• Healing: 3-6 months for the implant to integrate with the bone (osseointegration)
• Restoration: A custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant
