What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a dental restoration that replaces missing teeth. These restorations consist of an implant post, an abutment, and a crown, bridge, or denture. Implant-supported restorations are the only option that replaces the entire tooth from root to crown. The titanium implant post is permanent and anchors the dental restoration, which means it won't slip or fall out. This is one of the reasons implant-supported restorations are increasingly popular.

The implant post also performs the vital function that your tooth root once provided and continues to stimulate your jaw. This prevents bone loss and preserves your facial muscles and structures.

• Implant-Supported Crowns: Implant-supported crowns are a great option to restore your bite pattern and protect your remaining teeth from shifting and being worn down. A single dental implant post will support your new crown, bringing complete functionality back to your smile. Our friendly team can create a custom restoration for any missing tooth, from molars to incisors, that will blend beautifully with your natural teeth.
• Implant-Supported Bridges: Our reliable implant-supported bridges will allow you to chew normally and speak without worry. Implant-supported bridges consist of a crown at the beginning and end of the dental bridge with prosthetic teeth suspended between them (known as pontics). Each crown is held in place by a dental implant, making the bridge secure. We carefully craft your implant-supported bridge to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth to create an even smile.
• Implant-Supported Dentures: Our implant-supported dentures can restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Your custom dentures are securely held in place by dental implants, which means they won't slip or fall out, and you won't have to use messy pastes or adhesives. We offer both full and partial implant dentures to fully customize your treatment to your needs.
• All-on-4® Implant Dentures: We also offer All-on-4 implant-supported dentures for those who qualify. These innovative dental restorations use four implants to secure your dentures in place. The implants are permanent which means you won't have to remove your dentures to soak them overnight and you will be able to chew and speak confidently, because you know your restorations will not slip or fall out. You also won't have to use messy denture pastes or adhesives.

Our Dental Implant Process

We are passionate about providing the services you need in one location so you can enjoy consistent, quality dental care. That is why we perform the placement surgery as well as setting the restoration. We have in-house specialists to ensure every step of your quality care at every step in your treatment plan.

We begin with a gentle and thorough exam of your teeth, jaws, and gums and take detailed measurements and impressions of your teeth. Our team will ask questions and actively listen to your concerns and goals to create a treatment plan that is tailored to you. We use the information from our discussion and the results of the exam to determine the dental implant that is right for you.

Our specialists anchor the titanium post in your jaw to create a stable base for your dental restoration. After placement comes a healing period to allow the post to fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Once that process is complete, we will place the abutment and the final restoration. Our compassionate team will artfully create a dental restoration that matches the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth and blends seamlessly with your smile.
