We give our patients the best service and smile possible.
A dental implant is a screw-like titanium post that we insert into your jawbone during a minor surgical procedure in office. This implant replaces the root of your missing tooth, creating a stable foundation for a lifelike porcelain crown the visible part of the replacement tooth. One of the most significant benefits of dental implants is their ability to stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining your facial structure over time. Unlike other restorative options, dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Whether you’re opting for traditional implants, which may require a healing period for the implant to fuse with the bone, or same-day implants, which provide temporary teeth immediately after placement, you’ll benefit from a solution that feels as close to your natural teeth as possible.
Once we determine you are a good fit, we will place the implants, then allow healing and osseointegration to take place. This process will typically take several months; however, it will differ for each unique patient. We will then place the crowns using an attachment called an abutment.
Instead of having to wait months for dental crown placement, same-day dental implants allow us to place them during the same appointment. This process can also be used for All-on-4®*, a treatment that includes the strategic placement of four implants that will serve as a secure base for dentures.
Single Tooth Prosthesis: Ideal for one missing tooth.
Partial Prosthesis (Fixed Bridge): Replaces multiple missing teeth with only a few implants for support.
Full Arch Prosthesis (Removable or Fixed): Offers a complete replacement for an upper or lower arch of teeth.
Before we begin treatment, we will check your entire mouth for any signs of infection or other oral health issues. If your mouth is healthy and your bone density is high, you’re most likely a great candidate for dental implants. If your bone has deteriorated too much, you may still have an opportunity after a bone grafting treatment.
