Dental Implants
Restore your smile and confidence with dental implants
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements consisting of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, an abutment, and a custom-made dental crown. They function like natural teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
The Procedure
-
Consultation & Evaluation – Our dentist will assess your oral health, take X-rays, and determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants.
-
Implant Placement – A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as the artificial tooth root.
-
Healing & Osseointegration – Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the jawbone to create a strong foundation.
-
Abutment Placement – Once healed, an abutment is attached to connect the implant with the final restoration.
-
Final Restoration – A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is secured to the implant for a fully restored smile.
