What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that provide a permanent base for fixed or removable replacement teeth. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth, offering a long-term solution for those who have lost teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons. Implants create a strong foundation for replacement teeth and help maintain the integrity of the jawbone.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Enhanced Appearance: Dental implants closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, providing a seamless and beautiful smile.
Improved Oral Health: Implants help prevent bone loss and maintain the structure of your face, contributing to better overall oral health.
Durable and Long-lasting: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective, long-term solution.
Comfort and Convenience: Unlike dentures, implants are fixed in place, eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures.
Boosted Confidence: You can enjoy the freedom to eat, speak, and smile confidently without worrying about missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures.

Procedures Offered

Dental Implant Process & Candidacy

Our team conducts a thorough evaluation of your oral health, including a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and jawbone, to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for dental implants. We’ll discuss your medical history and any concerns you may have. Once we confirm your eligibility, we will guide you through the entire dental implant process, explaining each step from the initial consultation and imaging to the surgical placement and recovery, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.

Implant Supported Bridges

Perfect for replacing multiple missing teeth, these bridges are anchored by dental implants for stability and durability.

Implant Supported Dentures

An implant supported denture requires the placement of four to six dental implants as “anchors” to provide a sturdier fit and minimal mobility for your denture. With implant supported dentures, there is no plate covering the roof of the mouth, so speaking and eating are more natural and comfortable than with traditional dentures. For qualifying patients, our doctors may be able to complete the removal of all teeth and the placement of a temporary arch on the same day.

Guided Dental Implant placement

3D technology allows our doctors to more accurately place dental implants using minimally invasive techniques that improve patient comfort and healing while maintaining the highest standard of treatment and restoring your smile.

The 3D digital guidance provided by this specialized software helps our team plan the implant placement procedure. It also allows the patient to visualize the implant’s future location and its support for the final restoration. Once planning is complete, our team uses this 3D-guided implant technology to create a customized surgical guide that provides greater precision and accuracy during implant placement.

Same-Day Implants

We offer same-day implant procedures, which allow for immediate placement of implants and immediate interim restoration (i.e., if you are losing a tooth, we can remove the tooth and place an implant and an interim restoration in the same day).
