An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a crown, bridge or denture that looks, feels and functions like your own.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone. Over time it bonds with the bone, creating a stable base for a replacement tooth.
Because implants stimulate the bone like a natural root, they help preserve your jaw and facial structure — and they don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support.
What to expect
We review X-rays, bone health and your goals.
The implant post is placed in the jawbone.
The implant bonds with the bone over a few months.
A custom crown, bridge or denture is attached.
Questions
Most healthy adults with enough jawbone are good candidates. We’ll evaluate your health and bone during a consultation.
With good care, implants can last for decades. The crown on top may eventually need replacement.
The area is numbed during placement, and most patients report less discomfort than they expected.
