Dental Implants

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances.

Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or Periodontist – a specialist of the gums and supporting bone. The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile!

Dental implants are very strong, stable, and durable and will last many years, but on occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry

Reasons for dental implants:

  • Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth.
  • Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space.
  • Restore a patient’s confident smile.
  • Restore chewing, speech, and digestion.
  • Restore or enhance facial tissues.
  • Support a bridge or denture, making them more secure and comfortable.
  • Specialized Expertise, Lasting Results

Veneers

Transform your smile with custom-crafted porcelain veneers. These ultra-thin shells of premium ceramic material are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve color, shape, size, and proportion. Veneers can correct multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously, creating a complete smile makeover with a minimally invasive approach that preserves most of your natural tooth structure.

Bonding, Shaping & Contouring

Address minor aesthetic concerns with these conservative, cost-effective procedures. Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, close small gaps, and improve tooth shape. Shaping and contouring involves subtle removal of small amounts of enamel to improve the appearance of slightly irregular, overlapping, or pointy teeth for a more harmonious smile.

Common Questions About Dental Implants

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the implant process is. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you don’t feel pain during surgery. Any post-operative discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Many patients report less discomfort than with tooth extractions and return to normal activities within a day or two.
With proper care, the implant posts themselves can last a lifetime. The visible restorations (crowns, bridges, or dentures) attached to the implants may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear, though many last longer. Regular dental check-ups and good home care significantly extend the lifespan of both the implants and their restorations.
Most adults with missing teeth are candidates for some form of implant treatment. The primary requirements are adequate bone volume to support implants and good general health. Even if you’ve been told you lack sufficient bone, our advanced bone grafting procedures may make implants possible. Certain medical conditions and lifestyle factors can affect candidacy, which we’ll evaluate during your consultation.
The cost of implant treatment varies based on the number of implants needed, the type of restoration, and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are required. While implants represent a greater initial investment than traditional tooth replacement options, their longevity and health benefits often make them more cost-effective in the long run. We offer financing options to help make this valuable treatment accessible.
