What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are revolutionary solutions for replacing missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are permanent fixtures that mimic the natural structure of teeth. They consist of titanium posts surgically implanted into the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns or bridges.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options. They provide unparalleled stability and functionality, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Dental implants help preserve bone density in the jaw, preventing further deterioration and maintaining facial structure.

The Dental Implant Process
The dental implant process typically involves several stages:
- Initial Consultation: During your initial visit, you will meet with the restorative case manager, and one of our experienced dentists will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment goals. We will take a 3-D X-ray to assess the overall health of your bone and discuss the treatment options available to you.
- Records Visit: A digital impression is taken to order a surgical guide used in the implant placement process. Traditional impressions are also taken if a transitional or temporary replacement of your missing tooth or teeth is needed while the implant heals. Records photos, additional x-rays, and a comprehensive oral exam will be completed as well.
- Implant Placement: The next step is the surgical placement of the titanium implant into the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. However, we do offer light IV sedation for those patients who would prefer it. The implant serves as an artificial tooth root, fusing with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
- Healing Period: Following implant placement, a healing period is necessary to allow the implant to integrate with the surrounding bone tissue. This process typically takes several months, during which you may wear temporary restorations.
- Abutment Placement: We will attach an abutment once the implant fully integrates. The abutment acts as a connector between the implant and the final restoration.
- Final Restoration: Finally, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the abutment, completing the dental implant restoration. The result is a natural-looking and functional replacement tooth that blends seamlessly with your smile.
