A dental implant or tooth implant is a restorative dental procedure that focuses on replacing missing teeth with a replica tooth that is designed to function like your natural tooth and have the same appearance.
Tooth implants act like artificial teeth… right down to the roots! Resembling the shape of screws, implants are positioned beneath your gums in the jawbone, where they bond with your natural bone.
Our dental implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a beautiful and realistic smile.
Dental implants offer a durable, permanent solution for missing teeth, with proper care lasting a lifetime.
Implants help maintain jawbone structure and prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth, promoting overall oral health.
Enjoy the comfort and functionality of natural teeth with implants, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we assess your oral health and discuss your goals. We’ll take X-rays and digital scans to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for implants.
During the implant placement procedure, a titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. This post acts as a sturdy foundation for the artificial tooth (crown) that will be attached later.
After the implant is placed, there is a healing period of several months during which the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong and stable base for the new tooth.
Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, an abutment is attached to the implant post. The abutment serves as a connector between the implant and the crown.
The final step is placing the custom-made crown onto the abutment. The crown is carefully crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth, like crowns or bridges.
The entire process typically takes several months, including the surgical placement of the implant and the healing period. Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, the final crown or bridge is placed.
The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. Post-surgery, any discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and typically subsides within a few days.
Most people with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are good candidates for dental implants. A consultation with our dental team will determine if implants are the right option for you.
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth—regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups. Proper oral hygiene will help ensure the longevity of your implants.
