What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium screw-like post that we place in your jawbone, where it mimics the function of your missing tooth root. As the area heals, your implant will integrate or fuse with your jawbone, providing an incredibly stable foundation for an aesthetic crown that's custom-crafted to match your smile.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Planning Your Implant Placement

Your dental implant process will begin with meticulous planning, which is key to its success. We use CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) 3D imaging to evaluate your jawbone density, nerves, sinuses, and surrounding oral structures with exceptional detail. This information helps ensure precise implant placement using freehand techniques when appropriate or surgical guides (guided surgery), depending on your unique needs.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental implants are considered the second-best thing to natural teeth, and for good reason. The following is a look at some of the benefits of these superior restorations:

• Natural Appearance: We meticulously craft your dental implant crown to mimic the appearance of your natural teeth, delivering seamless results.
• Restoring Function: Your new dental implant will restore your ability to enjoy the foods you love and enhance your clarity of speech.
• Preventing Bone Loss: Dental implants mimic the function of natural tooth roots, helping prevent bone loss and supporting your facial structure.
• Preserving Alignment: Your new implant crown will keep your remaining teeth from drifting toward the gap, maintaining the alignment of your smile.
• Long-Lasting: With proper care and regular dental exams and cleanings, your new dental implant can last for decades or even a lifetime.
