What Are Dental Implants?

If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants may offer the perfect solution! Using a 5-step process, dental implants provide a lasting restoration that works by filling the gaps in your smile using an abutment, post and dental crown. No matter how many teeth you are missing, dental implants can restore both your confidence and your smile.
What Are Dental Implants?

The Implant Process

Because each smile is unique, each patient’s implant process may look slightly different depending on their needs. The overall implant process is broken down into 5 main steps that are taken as your dental team works towards restoring your beautiful smile.

Bone Grafting

Because the dental implant relies on the jaw for support, bone grafting is performed in some cases to provide enough support before the placement of the dental implant.

Implant Placement

Once the jawbone is ready to support the dental implant, the implant can then be placed, creating a solid foundation for the rest of the implant process.

Healing Time

Once the implant has been placed, the area around the implant will need time to heal before it is ready to hold the abutment.

Abutment Placement

Once your dentist has determined that the jawbone is ready, the abutment can then be placed – leaving the dental crown as the last step to fully restoring your smile.

Restore Smile

A dental crown will be custom-designed to fit and function naturally, providing the final step in the dental implant process in giving you back your smile!
Why Dental Implants?

Why Dental Implants?

Not only is a dental implant made to last, but it also provides a functioning, beautiful tooth restoration that can help you enjoy the simple things like chewing, smiling and laughing. Dental implants, with proper upkeep, are made to last for years to come!

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

Because the implant process looks slightly different for each patient, there’s no set price for dental implants. Steps such as bone grafting can cause the cost to vary from person to person. A complimentary consultation with our team will allow you to see a customized treatment plan with all included costs for your implant placement from start to finish.
