Why should I choose dental implants?
Dental implants aren't just about filling a gap in your smile—they're about reclaiming your confidence and oral health for a lifetime. Unlike temporary options, implants become a permanent part of your mouth by anchoring directly to your jawbone, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh without worry while preventing bone loss and maintaining your facial structure. Though they may seem like a bigger investment upfront, their unmatched durability and long-term benefits make dental implants the smart choice for patients tired of missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures. They're truly a life-changing solution that looks, feels, and functions just like natural teeth.
No Guess-Work, More Comfort
With cone-beam computed tomography, or CBCT technology, we give our patients peace of mind. This reliable technology ensures precise placement for increased patient comfort and better overall outcomes.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Natural Feel and Function
Dental implants closely mimic your natural teeth, allowing you to brush, floss, and eat just like you always have.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Each implant is chosen specifically for the affected site depending on factors such as timing of placement (immediate or delayed implant), tooth size, bone available, and nearby anatomical structures. The final crown is custom designed by your restorative dentist to match your existing teeth in shape, size, and color.
Preserves Oral Health
Made from biocompatible titanium, implants actually integrate with your jawbone, stimulating it just like natural tooth roots. This helps prevent bone loss and maintains your facial structure for years to come.

The Implant Treatment Process
Placement
Once we've confirmed your treatment plan, we'll schedule your procedure and walk you through exactly what to expect. We'll take a digital impression of your teeth in order to fabricate a surgical guide. During the surgery, we make a precise incision in your gum and carefully place the dental implant using the surgical guide. We then clean the area and apply sutures to promote healing. This sets the foundation for your new tooth.
Healing & Osseointegration
Healing begins right after implant placement. The incision typically heals within 1-2 weeks, but full integration of the implant with your jawbone (called osseointegration) takes about 3-6 months. We'll schedule check-ups during this time to ensure everything is healing properly.
What makes us different
Personalized Anesthesia for Every Patient
Your comfort and safety are our highest priorities. We offer fully customized anesthesia options to perfectly match your needs, the complexity of your procedure, and your level of anxiety. From mild relief with nitrous oxide to profound sleep using IV deep sedation or general anesthesia, we ensure you are monitored by trained professionals every step of the way. We'll work with you to select the precise level of care for a stress-free experience.
Implant Stability Measurement
Every implant we place receives an ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) measurement. This non-invasive test gives us an objective, precise score of your implant's stability. Monitoring this score allows for early detection of potential problems, such as implant loosening, helps guide treatment decisions, such as when it is safe to load the implant or apply a restoration, and tracks implant stability over time to ensure successful integration.

Stress-Free Digital Impressions
Say goodbye to messy, uncomfortable trays! We use a state-of-the-art intraoral scanner to take highly accurate digital impressions of your mouth. This non-invasive, quick scanning technology creates a precise 3D model, ensuring the perfect fit for your surgical guides and precise positioning of your dental implants. It’s a faster, cleaner, and more comfortable experience for you.
Precision Bone Cutting with Piezosurgery
For certain cases, we utilize advanced Piezosurgery® (piezoelectric) technology for surgical cases requiring the utmost precision in bone cutting. This innovative device uses controlled ultrasonic vibrations, allowing us to accurately cut bone tissue while leaving adjacent soft tissues (like nerves and gums) untouched. This increased precision translates to reduced surgical trauma, and often faster, more comfortable healing for you.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.
A single tooth implant is a modern solution for replacing a missing tooth. It consists of a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone and a custom-made crown attached to it. Unlike removable options like partial dentures, implants are permanently fixed, offering stability and comfort that feels just like your natural teeth.
Dental implants combine precision engineering with customization. The implant post is made from medical-grade titanium and comes in various standard sizes. The crown, however, is custom-made specifically for you. We either create it in-house using advanced technology or work with a specialized lab. The crown is typically made from porcelain for its natural appearance and strength. Once ready, we carefully attach it to your implant, completing your restoration.
With proper placement and care, dental implants can last for decades.
While uncommon, dental implants can develop an infection called peri-implantitis. This typically happens if proper oral hygiene isn't maintained. To minimize this risk, it's important to follow post-operative care instructions and maintain good oral hygiene practices.
Yes! When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area starts to deteriorate from lack of stimulation. An implant acts like an artificial tooth root, transmitting chewing forces to the jawbone. This stimulation maintains bone density and strength, much like a natural tooth would.
In some cases, you can receive a dental implant and temporary restoration in a single day. This depends on your specific situation and the type of implant best suited for you. The temporary restoration allows for normal aesthetics while your implant heals. A consultation will help us determine the best approach for your needs.
