Implants
Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, providing a natural look, feel, and function that closely resembles real teeth. Made from biocompatible titanium, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone over time to create a strong, stable foundation for replacement teeth. Ideal for replacing single teeth, multiple teeth, or even securing dentures, implants help restore your smile and improve overall oral health.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a highly effective solution for missing teeth for several reasons:
- Natural Appearance: Implants mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, restoring confidence and comfort.
- Bone Health: Unlike other options, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure.
- Durability and Stability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, offering a secure solution for chewing and speaking.
- Versatility: Implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or be used to anchor bridges or dentures.
The Dental Implant Process
- Consultation and Assessment: During an initial consultation, we assess your oral health, jawbone density, and overall suitability for implants. Digital imaging and 3D scans help us plan a precise treatment tailored to your needs.
- Implant Placement: The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation. Over the next few months, the implant integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration, forming a strong, stable base.
- Abutment and Crown Placement: Once the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment is attached to the implant, followed by a custom-made crown that matches the color and shape of your natural teeth.
- Final Restoration and Follow-Up: We ensure the new tooth is comfortable, aligned, and fully functional. Regular follow-up appointments help monitor the implant and surrounding tissues to ensure long-term success.
Types of Dental Implants
- Single-Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing individual missing teeth without affecting neighboring teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Used for multiple missing teeth, with fewer implants needed than traditional bridges.
- All-on-4® Implants: Replaces an entire arch of teeth using four strategically placed implants for stability and support.
- Implant-Retained Dentures: Secures dentures to implants, providing better stability and comfort than traditional dentures.
Benefits of Dental Implants

- Preserves Natural Teeth: No need to alter neighboring teeth as with traditional bridges.
- Better Oral Health: Implants are easy to clean and care for, maintaining oral hygiene as with natural teeth.
