The Ultimate Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental implants are more than just a cosmetic solution; they're a comprehensive approach to oral health.
Missing teeth can lead to a cascade of problems, including shifting teeth, bite issues, and even facial structure changes. Implants serve as a robust foundation for replacement teeth, mimicking the strength and appearance of your natural teeth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Prevent Oral Health Complications: Filling the gap left by a missing tooth can prevent infection and alignment issues.
- Preserve Facial Structure: Implants support your facial structure, preventing the sagging and shifting that can occur with tooth loss.
- Natural Look and Feel: Coupled with dental crowns, implants blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, enhancing your smile while maintaining its natural appearance.
Living with Dental Implants
Caring for your dental implants is as easy as caring for your natural teeth.
Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are all you need to keep your smile bright and healthy. Unlike natural teeth, implants are immune to cavities, although the health of your gums remains paramount.
What to Expect When You Get Dental Implants
Initial Consultation and Examination
Your path to a renewed smile begins with a thorough consultation. Our expert team will evaluate your oral health, discuss your needs, and create a customized treatment plan. We use impressions of your teeth to ensure your implants are a perfect match in size, shape, and color.
Implantation Procedure
The next step involves a minor surgical procedure. We will place a titanium post into the jawbone, acting as a synthetic root system. This post fuses with the bone over time, creating a stable foundation for your new tooth.
Restoration
Once integration is complete, we attach your new, custom-made tooth to the implant. This new tooth is not only strong and functional but also aesthetically pleasing, allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods and activities without worry.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone below the gum line. This allows the dentist to mount replacement teeth or a bridge into that area.
How do dental implants work?
Implants are designed to fuse with your jawbone, providing stable support for artificial teeth. The titanium in the implants integrates with your jawbone, ensuring that the implants do not slip or cause bone damage.
Are dental implants right for me?
Anyone in good health who has lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, injury, or some other reason may be a candidate for dental implants. The best way to determine if implants are the right choice for you is to undergo a thorough dental exam.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Implants offer numerous benefits, including improved appearance, comfort, and speech. They're durable and convenient, offering a permanent solution to tooth loss.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The entire process, from the initial consultation to the final placement of the crown, can vary widely, typically taking from three to nine months.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
Most people report that the discomfort involved with getting an implant is less than that of a tooth extraction. Local anesthesia and sedation are used during surgery to minimize any discomfort.
How do I care for dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth and includes brushing, flossing, using mouthwash, and attending regular dental checkups.
How successful are dental implants?
With a success rate of up to 98%, dental implants are highly successful. Their longevity can be significantly increased with proper care and maintenance.
Can dental implants fail?
While rare, failures can occur due to factors like infection, insufficient bone density, or the body's rejection of the implant. Smoking also increases the risk of failure.
What is the cost of dental implants?
The cost can vary significantly based on the specific needs of the patient, including the number of implants required and any additional procedures.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Coverage for dental implants varies by insurance company and policy. It's best to consult with your provider to understand your coverage options.
