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
