What are Dental Implants?
Think of dental implants as tiny titanium posts that are placed in your jawbone, acting just like the roots of a natural tooth. They securely hold replacement teeth in place, so they look, feel, and function just like the real thing.
Because the implant fuses directly with your jawbone—a process called osseointegration—it becomes incredibly stable and long-lasting. This also helps preserve your jawbone’s density, which is great for your facial structure. With implants, you can get back to chewing your favorite foods and speaking with ease, all with a confident, natural-looking smile.

Dental Implant Procedure Overview
Initial Consultation and Imaging
The implant process starts with a thorough consultation. We’ll take detailed X-rays to check your jawbone health and quality. Sometimes, preparatory steps like a tooth extraction or bone grafting might be needed to set you up for the best possible outcome.
Implant Placement Surgery
The placement surgery is a straightforward procedure. It involves making a small opening in your gum to access the bone, where the titanium post is then carefully placed. The healing process takes a few months, during which osseointegration happens—that’s when your jawbone naturally fuses with the implant, creating a super-strong foundation.
Healing Period and Restoration
Once the implant has fully healed, we’ll place a small connector piece called an abutment on top of it. This serves as the anchor for your new custom tooth. After a short recovery, we’ll take impressions to create a crown, bridge, or denture that perfectly matches the color and shape of your natural teeth.
Follow-Up Care
Regular follow-up care helps us track your progress and make sure your implant and your smile stay healthy for years to come.
