What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the gum line. This implant acts as a root for a crown, bridge, or denture that is mounted atop it. Over time, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration, providing stable support for artificial teeth. Dental implants are the closest you can get to healthy, natural teeth and are a popular choice for those looking to replace one or more missing teeth due to their strength and longevity.
What to Expect With Dental Implants
The process of getting dental implants involves several steps and typically takes a few months to complete. Initially, you will undergo a comprehensive evaluation to assess your oral health and jawbone density to ensure you are a suitable candidate for implants. If you proceed, the implant will be surgically placed into your jawbone, requiring a period of healing that can last several months. Once the implant has successfully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is placed followed by a custom-made crown, bridge or denture.

FAQ
What are dental implants, and how do they work?
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root, securely anchored in the jawbone. A custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore function and aesthetics. We use this advanced technology to provide a durable, natural-looking alternative to traditional tooth replacement options.
Who is a candidate for dental implants?
Most people with one or more missing teeth and good overall health are candidates for dental implants. Adequate jawbone density is essential to support the implant, though bone grafting can sometimes address deficiencies. We will assess your oral health and medical history during a consultation to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants offer numerous advantages, including improved appearance, enhanced chewing ability, and long-term durability. Unlike other options, they preserve jawbone density and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth. Implants also do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, making them a healthier and more natural-feeling solution for missing teeth.
What is the process of getting dental implants?
The dental implant process involves several steps over a few months. We begin by placing the implant into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. After a healing period of three to six months, during which the implant fuses with the bone, a custom restoration is attached. This method ensures stability, functionality, and a seamless appearance.
