Regain Your Confidence with Dental Implants

Some of us have been fortunate enough not to have to worry about what needs to happen if you’ve lost a tooth, but those who have can agree: a missing tooth affects more than just your appearance. It impacts the way you eat and the way you speak and can even be detrimental to your self-confidence! If you’re grappling with the strangeness of missing one or more of your teeth, you should know that you aren’t alone. We offer comprehensive dental implant restorations to help fill in the gaps of your missing teeth for a beautiful, functional, and long-lasting smile. 

How Can Dental Implants Help

• If you’ve lost teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease, implants are a great natural-looking restoration option.   
• If you’re tired of the discomfort or slippage of dentures, dental implants can be used to give you secure and stable support.   
• As you lose teeth, your jawbone can start to deteriorate. Implants can be used to prevent further bone loss and preserve your facial structure.   
• If you’re unhappy with the appearance of gaps in your smile, implants can restore your confidence by giving you a new, complete smile.   

Dental Implants Explained

The easiest way to think of implants is to picture them as artificial tooth roots made from titanium and surgically placed into your jawbone. After the implant is placed and integrated, we can finalize your restoration with a dental crown to create the appearance of natural teeth. 

Experience the Implant Difference

Whether you’re missing a single tooth or struggling with multiple gaps, we want to restore your smile! 

• Comprehensive consultations: We offer personalized consultations to evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and create a customized treatment plan that meets your specific needs and budget. 
• Bone grafting: If you have insufficient bone density to support dental implants, we can perform bone grafting to rebuild your jawbone and create a stable foundation for placement. 
• Surgical implant placement: We utilize advanced surgical techniques to carefully place dental implants into your jawbone for optimal results with minimal discomfort.
• Abutment placement: Once your implants have fully integrated, we’ll attach abutments to serve as connectors for your final restorations–usually dental crowns. 
• Custom-made dental restorations: To complete your new smile, we create custom-designed restorations, including crowns, bridges, and dentures, to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth. 

Our Different Restoration Options

For Single-Tooth Replacement…

• Dental crowns are perfect for replacing single teeth and are the most common restoration we do. During this procedure, we’ll place a single crown on top of your implant to restore your teeth to their full function and appearance.

For Multiple Tooth Replacement…

• If you’re missing multiple consecutive teeth, a dental bridge can be placed and supported by two dental implants. 
• If you’re missing most or all of their teeth, we can help with implant-supported dentures for a more secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. 

The best restoration for you will depend on the number of missing teeth you have, your overall oral health, and your personal preferences. We’ll run you through all your options beforehand and make you an active participant in this decision to ensure you end up with a smile you love!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the implant process take?

Your implant placement surgery will be relatively short, but the bone healing process typically takes several months. Once it’s healed, you’ll visit us again for your final restoration placement. Despite the wait required during healing, implants are still sought after because of their long-term durability!

How long will this restoration last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime! 

Will it hurt to get dental implants?

We do our best to make sure all our patients experience as little discomfort as possibel throughout their dental journey. After your initial procedure, over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to manage any discomfort, but as your mouth heals, the mild discomfort you feel will fade.
