Benefits
Dental Implants
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from root to crown. A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone, where it creates a stable base for a custom restoration.
The final crown is shaped and shaded to complement your natural teeth, helping restore comfortable chewing, speaking, and smiling.
What to expect
- Plan with care: We evaluate your gums, jawbone, bite, and health history to create a personalized plan.
- Place the implant: The area is comfortably numbed, then the implant body is gently placed into the jawbone.
- Allow healing: Over the next few months, the bone bonds with the implant to create a secure foundation.
- Complete your smile: A custom abutment and crown are attached and refined for comfort and appearance.
How long implants last
With daily brushing, cleaning between the teeth, and regular dental visits, the implant body can last for decades. The crown may eventually need replacement because of normal wear.
When an implant may help
An implant may be considered when one or more teeth are missing due to decay, gum disease, injury, or extraction. Your overall health and available bone are part of the evaluation.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is dental implant surgery painful?
The area is numbed during treatment, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Mild soreness or swelling afterward is common and usually improves over the next few days.
2. How long does treatment take?
Treatment often takes several months because the jawbone needs time to heal around the implant. Timing varies, especially when bone grafting is needed.
3. Will the implant look like a real tooth?
The crown is customized to complement the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
4. How do I care for an implant?
Brush twice daily, clean between the teeth every day, and attend regular dental checkups and professional cleanings.
