Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, they connect directly with your jawbone to restore both appearance and function. This helps protect your oral health while giving you a natural-looking smile. Here’s how they work:

• Implant post – a small titanium post placed in the jawbone, acting like a tooth root as it fuses with the bone
• Healing abutment – connects the implant to your new tooth and supports gum healing
• Custom crown – designed to match your natural teeth, restoring chewing function and completing your smile

Implants provide strong, stable support, help maintain bone structure, and can last for many years with proper care. They’re a reliable option for restoring comfort, function, and confidence.

Dental implants are placed in stages to ensure safety, comfort, and long-term success. Each step is carefully planned and explained so you know what to expect. Your treatment typically includes:

• Consultation & Imaging – a full oral exam with diagnostic scans to check bone health and plan placement
• Treatment Planning – a personalized approach based on your anatomy, health needs, and goals
• Implant Placement – surgical placement of a titanium post into the jawbone under precise guidance
• Healing Phase (Osseointegration) – a 3–6 month period where the implant naturally fuses with your bone
• Abutment Placement – connection of the piece that supports your final restoration
• Final Restoration – placement of a custom crown, bridge, or denture designed to restore function and appearance
