Why should I choose dental implants?

Dental implants aren't just about filling a gap in your smile—they're about reclaiming your confidence and oral health for a lifetime. Unlike temporary options, implants become a permanent part of your mouth by anchoring directly to your jawbone, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh without worry while preventing bone loss and maintaining your facial structure. Though they may seem like a bigger investment upfront, their unmatched durability and long-term benefits make dental implants the smart choice for patients tired of missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures. They're truly a life-changing solution that looks, feels, and functions just like natural teeth.

Losing a tooth leaves you with a gap in your smile; fill that gap right away with immediate implants. Dental implants can stop you from losing bone mass while restoring your bite, but the longer you go without a tooth, the more likely you are to lose bone, so timely care is crucial.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Natural Feel and Function

Dental implants closely mimic your natural teeth, allowing you to brush, floss, and eat just like you always have.

Aesthetically Pleasing

Each implant is custom-designed to match your existing teeth in shape, size, and color. This personalized approach ensures your new tooth blends seamlessly with your smile.

Preserves Oral Health

Made from biocompatible titanium, implants actually integrate with your jawbone, stimulating it just like natural tooth roots. This helps prevent bone loss and maintains your facial structure for years to come.

The Implant Treatment Process

Placement

Once we've confirmed your treatment plan, we'll schedule your procedure and walk you through exactly what to expect. During the surgery, we make a precise incision in your gum and carefully place the dental implant into your jawbone. We then clean the area and apply sutures to promote healing. This sets the foundation for your new tooth.

Healing & Osseointegration

Healing begins right after implant placement. The incision typically heals within 1-2 weeks, but full integration of the implant with your jawbone (called osseointegration) takes about 3-6 months. We'll schedule check-ups during this time to ensure everything is healing properly.

Applying the Restoration

The final step is adding your custom crown. We create a dental crown designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, which is then securely attached to an abutment on your implant. With this complete, your smile is fully restored!

A smile is worth 1,000 words.

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.

What is a single tooth implant?

A single tooth implant is a modern solution for replacing a missing tooth. It consists of a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone and a custom-made crown attached to it. Unlike removable options like partial dentures, implants are permanently fixed, offering stability and comfort that feels just like your natural teeth.

How are dental implants made?

Dental implants combine precision engineering with customization. The implant post is made from medical-grade titanium and comes in various standard sizes. The crown, however, is custom-made specifically for you. We either create it in-house using advanced technology or work with a specialized lab. The crown is typically made from porcelain for its natural appearance and strength. Once ready, we carefully attach it to your implant, completing your restoration.

How long will my dental implant last?

With proper placement and care, dental implants can last for decades. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement over time due to normal wear and tear, but the implant itself often lasts a lifetime. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor everything and address any issues early.

Do dental implants stop bone loss?

Yes! When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area starts to deteriorate from lack of stimulation. An implant acts like an artificial tooth root, transmitting chewing forces to the jawbone. This stimulation maintains bone density and strength, much like a natural tooth would.

Can I get an implant in one day?

In some cases, you can receive a dental implant and temporary restoration in a single day. This depends on your specific situation and the type of implant best suited for you. The temporary restoration allows for normal function while your implant heals. We'll schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and create your permanent crown. A consultation will help us determine the best approach for your needs.
