Why Choose Implant Dentistry
Dental implants offer a transformative solution for individuals seeking to restore the look, feel and function of their natural teeth. At our practice, we understand that missing teeth can affect your confidence, comfort and oral health. That is why we are proud to provide dental implant services that combine modern technology with personalized care to deliver exceptional results.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants consist of two main parts – the implant post and the implant restoration. The implant posts are usually made of titanium or another biocompatible material and are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Over time, these implants fuse with the bone, creating a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth. The implant restorations consist of a custom-made crown, bridge or denture which is anchored atop the post, completing your treatment and restoring your smile and oral function. Whether you need to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or an entire arch, implants can be customized to meet your unique needs.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The benefits of dental implants extend far beyond aesthetics. One of their most significant advantages is their ability to mimic the structure of natural teeth. This not only restores the appearance of your smile but also enhances your ability to eat, speak and smile confidently. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, making them a more conservative and long-lasting option.
Beyond their functional and aesthetic benefits, dental implants also support your long-term oral health. When teeth are missing, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate due to a lack of stimulation. Implants help prevent this bone loss, preserving the natural contours of your face and maintaining the health of your jawbone. This contributes to a more youthful appearance and a healthier foundation for your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants
What are dental implants made of?
Dental implants are typically made of biocompatible titanium, a durable material that integrates with your jawbone during the healing process. This fusion creates a stable foundation for replacement teeth. In some cases, zirconia implants may be used for patients with metal sensitivities or those seeking a non-metal alternative.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and avoiding habits like smoking can help extend their longevity. While the implant itself is permanent, the attached crown or restoration may need replacement every 10–15 years due to normal wear.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The dental implant procedure is generally well-tolerated and performed under local anesthesia or sedation to minimize discomfort. Most patients report minimal pain during the process and mild soreness afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and following post-operative care instructions.
Can anyone get dental implants?
Most healthy adults are candidates for dental implants, but adequate jawbone density and overall good health are essential. Patients with certain medical conditions, gum disease, or insufficient bone may require additional treatments, such as bone grafting, to prepare for implants. A consultation with us will help determine your suitability.
How should I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, avoid abrasive toothpaste, and attend regular dental checkups to ensure the health of your implants and surrounding tissues. We may recommend special tools, such as interdental brushes, for thorough cleaning.
