Dental Implants

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that we will place into your jaw to support your replacement teeth. The implant fuses with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Once this process is complete and your mouth has healed, you’ll return to our office where we will secure your new teeth to your implants. You can receive:

• A Single Crown With an Implant – If you have lost one tooth, you can get a single crown secured with an implant. We offer zirconia or porcelain crowns, depending on your budget and what’s best for your smile.
• Implant-Supported Dental Bridge – Support your dental bridge with implants instead of having to modify healthy teeth to support the bridge.
• Implant-Retained Dentures – While your dentures will still be removable, you’ll enjoy far more security with implants that snap your dentures into place.
• Implant-Supported Dentures – Your dentures will have a lifelike feel and function when you secure them with implants. You’ll be able to enjoy better oral function and a stronger bite. Since these dentures transfer all of your chewing force to your jaw rather than your gums, they perform the most like natural teeth.

We’ll work with you on which of these options is best for your smile. We plan for your restoration procedure using modern dental technology such as digital X-rays and intraoral cameras. Plus, we make it a comfortable experience by using a topical anesthetic to numb your mouth. We can also offer you laughing gas if you’d like to ease your nerves.
