Discover the Benefits of Implant Dentistry
Dental implants are an innovative solution for replacing missing teeth, offering both functionality and aesthetics. Unlike traditional restorations, dental implants replace the entire tooth structure, including the root. This design provides stability, durability and a natural appearance, making implants the gold standard for tooth replacement. Each implant consists of two main components: the implant post, which integrates with your jawbone, and the restoration, which resembles your natural tooth or teeth.

The Implant Placement Process
Your journey to a restored smile begins with a thorough consultation at our office. During this visit, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon will assess your oral health and create a customized treatment plan. Implant placement involves a minor surgical procedure to position the implant post securely in your jawbone. Over the next few months, the post fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This integration ensures a stable foundation for your restoration.
Once healing is complete, we will work with you to create a crown, bridge or denture tailored to your specific needs. This final restoration not only completes your smile but also restores functionality, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer unmatched advantages. They prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone, maintain facial structure and eliminate the need to modify adjacent healthy teeth, as required with bridges. Implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care, including regular brushing, flossing and dental checkups.
Are You a Candidate for Implants?
Most individuals with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. Healthy gums and adequate bone density are essential for successful placement. If necessary, preparatory treatments, such as bone grafting or gum therapy, can optimize your readiness for implants.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Dentistry
What are dental implants made of?
Dental implants are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates with your jawbone. The implant consists of a post that acts as the tooth root and a restoration, such as a crown, bridge or denture, that mimics the visible part of the tooth for natural function and appearance.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The implant process can take several months. After the implant post is placed, it requires three to six months to integrate with your jawbone. Once healing is complete, the final restoration is attached. This treatment timeline may vary based on your unique needs and any necessary preparatory treatments.
Are dental implants painful to receive?
The implant placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring comfort throughout. Mild discomfort may occur during recovery, similar to other dental surgeries, and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients find the benefits of a restored smile outweigh the temporary recovery process.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly and attend routine dental checkups. Avoid using your implants to bite hard objects, and address any signs of discomfort or issues promptly with us to maintain their longevity and functionality.
