Dental Implants

A dental implant is a titanium cylinder that functions as a tooth root that is placed in your jawbone. It is used to support your replacement tooth or teeth, which can be a crown, dental bridge or denture.

Titanium is a very biocompatible metal that has the ability to fully integrate with your bone tissue, essentially becoming a part of your jawbone.

Implant-supported new teeth look, act and feel just like natural teeth-people usually do not notice any difference between them and their natural teeth!

Implants can be placed in as little as 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the location and the number of implants. Our patients report they were surprised at how little discomfort they experienced both during and after receiving an implant. They often returned to work and regular activities the next day. We make every effort to keep you comfortable during treatment, and we offer IV sedation so you can sleep through the procedure.

For a healthy individual with good oral hygiene and good health, dental implants are predictably successful with reported success rates above 95 percent. Our oral surgeons have many years of training and experience in implant surgery and treating the bone and gum tissues surrounding teeth. As a result, their success rate is consistently very high.

We offer very competitive pricing for implant treatment. We also accept many insurance plans and if approved, can arrange low- or no-interest financing plans through CareCredit®.

With proper care, implants have been shown to last for over 40 years. A dental implant's life span is generally greater than that of a traditional dental bridge or dentures, making implants a more economical long-term investment.

Our oral surgeons oftentimes can augment your jawbone or gum using dental bone grafting material so that an implant can be successfully placed.

No. We can work in conjunction with your general dentist to replace three or four teeth with an implant-supported bridge using just two implants. For a full arch of teeth, we can permanently replace them using as few as four implants per arch.
