What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits. Our dental implants consist of titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, which act as artificial tooth roots. These posts support natural-looking crowns, bridges, or dentures, providing a long-lasting and stable replacement for one or more missing teeth. Dental implants restore your smile and your ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper oral health.
Should I Get Dental Implants?
Dental implants are ideal for patients who:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Want a durable, long-term solution to tooth loss
- Prefer a natural-looking restoration that functions like a real tooth
- Want to preserve jawbone density and prevent bone loss associated with missing teeth
- Desire improved confidence and comfort without relying on removable dentures

Our Dental Implant Process
We use advanced technology to ensure the success and precision of your dental implant procedure. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial ConsultationWe’ll assess your oral health, take X-rays, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for dental implants. This may include evaluating bone density to ensure the implant can be properly supported.
- Implant PlacementDuring this minor surgical procedure, the titanium post is carefully placed into the jawbone, where it will integrate with the bone over several months to form a strong foundation.
- Healing and OsseointegrationAfter placement, the bone will fuse with the implant in a process called osseointegration, ensuring a secure base for the restoration.
- Abutment PlacementOnce healing is complete, a small connector called an abutment is placed on top of the implant to hold the custom crown, bridge, or denture.
- RestorationThe final step is the placement of your custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture, completing the restoration and fully restoring your smile.
