Dental Implants

Durable, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth, designed to restore function and enhance your smile.

Replace Missing Teeth

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed in your jaw to replace missing teeth. Compared to bridges or dentures, implants are a long-term, permanent solution.

For full rows of missing teeth, options include:

All-on-4: A fixed full-arch bridge secured by implants, permanently placed and not removable by the patient.
Implant-Retained Dentures: Removable dentures that snap into place using implants for support.
Implant placement takes less than an hour, with gum swelling and discomfort subsiding in 3-4 days. Bone healing takes 3-6 months, after which the implant is fitted with a permanent crown.

What To Expect From Dental Implants

Dental implants typically require two appointments. During the first, implant posts are surgically placed in your jawbone. After 3-6 months of healing, you’ll return for the final restoration placement.

Implants are the preferred option for replacing missing teeth, but not all patients are eligible. Jawbone atrophy begins shortly after a tooth is lost, as there are no roots to support the tissue. Severe bone loss can compromise implant stability, but procedures like bone grafts or sinus lifts may rebuild the jawbone. During your consultation, we’ll assess your candidacy and recommend the best solution to protect your oral health.

Successful implant placement requires skill and experience. Our extensively trained dentist ensures precise placement and durable results. From surgery to restoration, our team provides complete care to rebuild your smile, all conveniently at our practice.

The Top Six Factors That Affect Dental Implant Costs

Dental implants are the best solution for missing teeth, offering long-term oral health benefits. However, several factors influence their cost:

1. The Number of Dental Implants: The more teeth replaced, the more implants are needed to securely hold restorations.

2. The Type and Quality of Your Restoration: Single crowns, bridges, or full-arch dentures vary in cost. High-quality materials like porcelain or zirconia also impact pricing.

3. Preparatory Work: Treatments like extractions, periodontal care, or bone grafts may be required before implant surgery, increasing costs.

4. Sedation Options: Local anesthetic is the most affordable, while intravenous sedation can add to expenses.

5. The Type of Dental Implants: Traditional implants are costlier than Teeth-in-a-Day, which often eliminates the need for preparatory procedures.

6. Choice of Surgeon: The surgeon’s skill and practice location also affect pricing.
