What are dental implants, and how do they work?
Dental implants are titanium posts that act like real tooth roots. Once placed, your jawbone gradually bonds to them through a natural healing process called osseointegration. This gives your new tooth strength and stability, so it feels comfortable and looks natural.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Many patients with missing teeth qualify for implant treatment. Healthy gums and a strong jawbone help ensure lasting results. At your consultation, we’ll assess your gum and bone health to determine if implants are the right choice for you.
What types of implant treatments do you offer?
We provide a variety of implant treatments, including single dental implants, implant-supported bridges and dentures, full-arch restorations, and Hybridge implants. We’ll take time to understand your goals and create a custom plan that gives you the best results possible.
How long do dental implants last, and how should I care for them?
Dental implants are built to last 20 years or more, and often for life. Good home care, routine cleanings, and avoiding smoking or teeth grinding will help keep them healthy and secure.
