Dental Implants

Modern Options for Replacing Missing Teeth

Dental implants offer a lasting and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. They’re ideal for patients who want to restore their smile without affecting surrounding teeth, as with traditional bridges. Because implant placement involves a surgical procedure, not everyone is a candidate. The best way to find out if implants are right for you is to schedule a consultation at our office.

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants are small metal posts surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gums. Over roughly three months, the implant naturally fuses with the bone, creating a stable foundation for a crown. Many patients choose implants for a secure, long-lasting solution that restores a complete smile without relying on bridges or removable dentures, helping you look and feel your best.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Since dental implant placement is a surgical procedure, not all patients are suitable candidates. Individuals with low bone density or certain health conditions may face challenges with implant integration. However, most patients can successfully undergo the procedure, allowing the implant to fuse with the bone. Once healed, a crown or denture can be placed on top to fully restore the smile. An exam and X-ray at our office will determine if implants are the right option for you.

Why Consider Dental Implants?

Deciding if dental implants are right for you depends on your individual oral health and is best determined during a consultation with our team, along with X-rays. Common reasons for getting one or more implants include:
