Preserve Jawbone Health

When you lose a tooth, the jawbone in that area begins to deteriorate. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining the shape and integrity of your facial structure.

Consultation and Planning

During your initial consultation, our implant dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and develop a personalized plan using advanced imaging technology to ensure optimal implant placement.

Implant Placement

In a surgical procedure, the dental implant is precisely placed into your jawbone. Over the next few months, the implant will fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation for your replacement tooth.

Restoration

Once the implant has fully integrated with your jawbone, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your smile and restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with ease.

Single-Tooth Implants

Single-tooth implants are an excellent solution for replacing individual missing teeth. A custom-made crown is attached to the implant, providing a natural-looking, fully functional replacement that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Implant-supported bridges are used to replace multiple missing teeth in a row. Unlike traditional bridges, implant-supported bridges do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, making them a more stable and conservative option.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Implant-retained dentures are a more secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. Dental implants are used to anchor the denture in place, eliminating slippage and restoring your ability to eat and speak with confidence.

All-on-X

All-on-X is a revolutionary implant solution for patients missing all or most of their teeth. This technique uses 4-6 strategically placed implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth, providing a fixed, permanent alternative to removable dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. However, certain factors, such as gum disease, smoking, and inadequate jawbone density, may need to be addressed before implant treatment.

How do I care for my dental implants?

Caring for dental implants is similar to maintaining natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend routine dental check-ups and cleanings to ensure the long-term success of your implants.

How long does the dental implant process take?

The entire dental implant process typically takes several months, allowing time for the implant to fuse with the jawbone and for the custom restoration to be fabricated. However, the timeline can vary depending on individual circumstances.
