What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a very effective choice if you're looking to replace missing or severely damaged teeth. These prosthetic tooth replacements consist of a sturdy titanium post, an abutment, and a custom-made dental crown designed to look just like your natural teeth. The titanium implant post is inserted into your jawbone, serving as a new, artificial root. The posts fuse with the bone in your jaw, providing sturdiness and durability you can rely on. With dental implants, you'll regain a complete set of teeth that allow you to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

Our Dental Implant Process

We've worked hard to fine-tune our dental implant offerings and always strive for efficiency and effectiveness in every service we offer. Should you have any questions or concerns about your personalized treatment plan, we're happy to do everything we can to meet you where you're comfortable.

Our dental implant process generally involves three phases, including:

Oral Examination: Our process starts with a comprehensive oral health assessment. We'll perform an in-depth physical examination of your problem tooth or teeth, and depending on your needs, we may recommend imaging to determine if your jaw is healthy enough for implants.


Implant Post Placement: Once we've established that you're a good candidate for the procedure, you'll be scheduled for the appointment where your implant posts will be placed. The implant appointment will involve surgically placing your implant posts into your jawbone. You'll return home to heal after the post or posts are in place. When the post has fused sufficiently with your jawbone, it will be ready to be restored with your meticulously crafted, natural-looking restoration.


Placing Your Restoration: At the restoration placement appointment, we'll restore your implant post with a beautiful tooth-shaped restoration designed to fit seamlessly into your smile. Our dentist will check the implant and ensure a secure fit, offering any adjustments to make your fit more comfortable.

Dedicated to Open Communication

Our approach to providing dental implants focuses on effectiveness, attentive patient care, and transparency. We'll never push any services you don't require and will always discuss all your options rather than trying to sell you on just one. Getting dental implants is a considerable step toward achieving good oral health, and we never want you to feel like you're in the dark regarding your treatment.

Dental Implant FAQs

If you're feeling intimidated by the thought of getting dental implants, our team is here to ease your worries. Whether you want to find out more about your treatment plan or want an explanation about why we're offering certain services, we're here for you. Some of the most asked questions about dental implants are:

How can dental implants improve my dental health?
Our dentist is pleased to discuss the many health-related benefits dental implants can provide at your consultation. One of the major ways dental implants help your smile is by maintaining the health of your jawbone. The stimulation your implant posts provide your jawbone can significantly reduce the risk of bone loss. They'll also keep your existing teeth from shifting out of alignment, avoiding the need for costly orthodontics in the future.

Are dental implants removable?
No. Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement solution. Implant posts integrate with your jawbone, offering a solid base for your restoration. If your restorative tooth becomes damaged, it's simple to replace.

When should I choose a dental implant?
At our practice, we always strive to preserve your natural teeth. If we can save a tooth through treatments like root canal therapy or restorative tooth-supported crowns, they're usually the first choice. When teeth can't be salvaged, dental implants are often the next-best choice.
