Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They are designed to restore function, comfort, and appearance while helping preserve jawbone and facial structure. Many patients choose dental implants to regain confidence and enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling without worry.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. Over time, the bone bonds with the implant, creating a secure foundation for a custom replacement tooth or teeth.

Dental implants can support:

• Single missing teeth

• Multiple missing teeth

• Implant-supported bridges or dentures

Dental Implant Evaluation

Treatment begins with a comprehensive examination, including imaging and a review of your health history. This allows us to determine whether dental implants are a suitable option for you and to plan your care safely and effectively.

Your treatment may be completed in our office or in collaboration with a trusted oral and maxillofacial surgeon when appropriate.

The Dental Implant Process

Dental implant treatment is completed in stages and tailored to each patient.

The process typically includes:

• Placement of the implant into the jawbone

• A healing period to allow the implant to bond with the bone

• Placement of a connector and impressions

• Attachment of the final custom restoration

Temporary teeth may be used during healing, and most patients are able to continue daily activities with minimal disruption.
