Implant Restoration
A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth for reasons like injury or periodontal disease. After a metal post is placed, the restoration is completed with a replacement crown.
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth—both in function and appearance. Designed to look, feel, and perform like natural teeth, implants restore not just your smile, but your confidence and quality of life.
An implant consists of a small titanium post that replaces the root of your missing tooth and integrates securely with your jawbone. Once healed, a custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture is attached, completing your restoration. The result is a strong, stable, and natural-looking solution that helps preserve your facial structure and prevent bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.
Whether you’re missing a single tooth or several, dental implants offer a lasting, cosmetic restoration that lets you speak, chew, and smile with ease. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime—making them one of the most reliable and transformative treatments in modern dentistry.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults in good oral and overall health are candidates for dental implants. Adequate bone support and healthy gums are essential for long-term success. During your consultation, we’ll assess your specific needs and create a personalized treatment plan.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, as it’s performed under local anesthesia (and sedation if desired). Mild soreness afterward is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long does the implant process take?
The process can take several months from start to finish, depending on healing time and whether any additional procedures—such as bone grafting—are needed. The result, however, is a durable, permanent restoration worth the investment of time.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Implants require the same care as natural teeth—daily brushing, flossing, and regular professional cleanings. With good oral hygiene, your implants can last for decades or even a lifetime.
