Why Should You Consider Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the jawbone. These natural-looking restorations integrate with the bone and serve as a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.

They are a perfect choice for any patient experiencing any of the following:

Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth

Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting

Restore confidence in your smile, bite, and speech

Enhance facial appearance by preventing bone and tissue loss

Support bridges or dentures, making them more secure and comfortable

Provide long-term durability with minimal maintenance

Aftercare & Lifetime Implant Support

We begin with a detailed evaluation using digital X-rays and iTero 3D scans to assess bone levels, spacing, and gum health. This allows us to determine safe implant placement, identify any issues early, and design a treatment plan built entirely around your anatomy and long-term success.

Once you’re numb and comfortable, a small titanium implant is placed into the jawbone through a gentle, controlled surgical process. This creates the artificial tooth root. In some cases, a temporary tooth or healing component may be placed at the same visit, depending on your clinical needs.

After placement, your implant is allowed to heal and integrate naturally with bone. This process, called osseointegration, secures your implant at a cellular level. Healing typically takes several months and ensures the implant becomes strong enough to support long-term chewing and restoration stability.

Once the implant is fully bonded to bone, we design and attach your custom crown, bridge, or denture. Each restoration is crafted for a precise fit, ideal function, and natural appearance. Shade, shape, and bite are carefully adjusted to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.

You’ll receive detailed care instructions, hygiene guidance, and routine checkups. Regular monitoring helps prolong the life of your implant. We also remain available for adjustments, questions, or maintenance so your implant continues to perform like a natural tooth.

Answers to Your Dental Implant Questions

How long does the dental implant process take?

Most cases take 3 - 6 months from consultation to final restoration. This includes time for the implant to fuse with the bone during the healing phase (osseointegration), which is essential for long-term success. In some cases, if bone grafting or additional procedures are needed, the process may take a bit longer. We'll give you a personalized timeline at your consultation.

Are dental implants painful?

Not at all during the procedure. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to keep you comfortable.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, implants can last 20 years or more, often a lifetime. Since the titanium post integrates with your jawbone, it becomes a stable foundation. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding habits like smoking will help maximize longevity.

Are implants better than dentures or bridges?

Yes, in most cases. Implants are permanent, more comfortable, and don't rely on neighboring teeth for support like bridges. They also prevent jawbone loss, which traditional dentures can't do. Patients often report a more natural feel and appearance, along with improved chewing and speaking ability.

Who qualifies for dental implants?

Most healthy adults are good candidates. You'll need healthy gums and enough jawbone to support the implant. If you've lost bone due to injury, infection, or long-term tooth loss, bone grafting might be needed first. We'll assess everything during your implant consultation to create the safest, most effective plan for you.

What happens if I don't replace a missing tooth?

Leaving a gap can cause surrounding teeth to shift, leading to bite problems and even jawbone loss in the space. Over time, this can affect your facial appearance and oral health. A dental implant fills that space and preserves your bone and smile.
