What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement root for a missing tooth. Once it integrates with the bone (a process called osseointegration), the implant provides a stable foundation for a custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture.
Unlike removable options, dental implants are fixed in place, offering a long-term solution that closely mimics the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.

What to Expect
Consultation & Planning
We start with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital X-rays and 3D imaging. This allows us to assess your bone health and design a precise surgical plan.
Implant Placement
The titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation. Healing and bone integration typically take 3–6 months.
Abutment & Restoration
Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. Then, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is secured to restore your smile’s appearance and function.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants permanent?
Yes, with proper care, implants can last a lifetime. The restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear.
Does the procedure hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the surgery. Local anesthesia and sedation are used to keep you comfortable, and post-operative pain is typically mild and manageable.
How long does the entire process take?
From implant placement to final restoration, the process usually takes 3 to 6 months. Healing time varies depending on individual bone health and whether additional procedures (like grafting) are needed.
Can smokers get dental implants?
Smoking can affect healing and long-term success, but it doesn’t automatically disqualify you. We’ll evaluate your specific situation and discuss the risks.
What if I’m missing several teeth?
Implants can support multiple restorations, including bridges and full-arch implant dentures. You may not need an individual implant for every missing tooth.
