Your dentist will determine the best treatment plan based on your oral health and specific needs.

We prioritize your comfort throughout every stage of the implant process.
Our advanced numbing techniques ensure you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. For patients with dental anxiety, sedation such as laughing gas provides additional relaxation.
Following the procedure, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote fast healing and long-term success.

Common Questions About Dental Implants
Dental implants work by replacing the root of a missing tooth with a titanium post that fuses naturally with your jawbone during a process called osseointegration. Once fully integrated, the implant provides a stable base for a custom crown, bridge, or denture. This secure foundation allows implants to feel and function like natural teeth. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term solution to tooth loss.
Most patients with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are good candidates for dental implants. If you’ve experienced bone loss, additional procedures like bone grafts or sinus lifts can help strengthen the jawbone and make implants possible. Your dentist will conduct a comprehensive exam, including digital imaging, to assess your suitability. Even if you have widespread tooth loss, implant-supported options like All-on-4 implants or mini implants may be ideal for you.
The length of the implant process depends on several factors, including whether you need preparatory procedures like bone grafting. Typically, the initial implant placement takes one visit, and the healing period for the implant to fuse with the jawbone can take 3 to 6 months. After healing, your custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to complete your smile. Your dentist will provide a detailed timeline based on your treatment plan.
