What are dental implants and how do they work?

Permanent, secure solution for missing teeth

Unlike dentures, which can slip or cause discomfort, implants are securely anchored in the jaw bone, providing a natural feel and long-lasting solution. With proper care, implants can last for decades.

Preserve your jaw bone

Dental implants do more than just replace teeth. They stimulate your jaw bone, just like a natural tooth root would. This keeps bone density alive and prevents the sunken look that can happen with missing teeth.

Help you enjoy life again

With implants, you can get back to smiling, laughing, and eating all your favorite food again. Implants are designed to look, feel, and function just like the rest of your natural smile.

01

Consultation and Planning

We'll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and use advanced 3D imaging to create your custom implant roadmap.

You'll leave with a clear understanding of your options, timeline, and costs.

02

Implant Placement

When you lose a tooth, you also lose the roots that keep it in place. Your doctor will add a small, screw-like post made of titanium into your jaw bone.

This acts like the root of your missing tooth.

03

Take Time to Heal

Over the course of several months, your jaw bone will grow around the titanium post, holding it firmly in place.

This will keep your jaw strong and prevent it from deteriorating over time.

04

Add the Crown

After your jaw heals, your doctor will attach a new, custom-made tooth to the post — this is called a crown.

The crown will be shaped and colored to perfectly match your other teeth.

If you wait, treatment may not be possible...

Jaw bone begins to weaken

Without a tooth root's stimulation, your jaw bone begins to shrink immediately after tooth loss. This can make future implant placement difficult or even impossible.

Teeth shift out of place

The gap left by your missing tooth allows surrounding teeth to move. This shift can complicate future implant placement and cause severe bit issues.

face will start looking older

Jaw bone loss can lead to a sunken facial appearance, making you look older than you are. Getting implants can help you maintain your youthful features for years to come.
