Dental Implants: The Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they mimic the entire structure of a natural tooth—from root to crown. Unlike traditional options that sit on top of the gums, an implant is a small titanium post that integrates directly with your jawbone. This provides a rock-solid foundation for a custom crown, allowing you to eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile without ever worrying about your teeth slipping or clicking.

The Core Benefits of Dental Implants

Looks and Feels Like Natural Teeth

The final restoration is custom-shaded and shaped to match your surrounding teeth perfectly, making it virtually indistinguishable.

Prevents Bone Loss

Implants are the only tooth replacement option that stimulates the jawbone, preventing the facial “sunken” look that often follows tooth loss.

Protects Surrounding Teeth

Unlike bridges, implants do not require the grinding down of adjacent healthy teeth to act as anchors.

A Lifetime Investment

While other restorations may need replacement, a successfully integrated dental implant is designed to last a lifetime with proper care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with healthy gums and sufficient bone density are excellent candidates. If you have bone loss, we can discuss "bone grafting" options to prepare the site.
How long does the process take?
The process typically takes a few months. After the implant is placed, it needs time to fuse with the bone (osseointegration) before the final crown is attached.
Is the surgery painful?
Most patients are surprised at how little discomfort they feel. Local anesthesia ensures the area is numb, and we offer sedation options for those who feel anxious.
How do I care for my dental implant?
You treat it just like a natural tooth! Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are all that is required to keep it healthy.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
When performed by a professional and maintained with good hygiene, dental implants have a success rate of over 95%.
