Whether you’re missing a single tooth or seeking full-mouth restoration, our advanced techniques and patient-first approach deliver durable, natural-looking results that restore both function and confidence.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. After healing, they support custom-crafted restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or full-arch prosthetics that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants help preserve jawbone health by stimulating the bone during chewing, which prevents long-term bone loss and supports overall facial structure.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Permanent, long-term tooth replacement
- Natural appearance and feel
- Full chewing and speaking function
- Prevents jawbone deterioration
- No alteration of healthy adjacent teeth
- Boosts self-confidence and oral health
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
You may be a candidate if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have good general and oral health
- Have adequate jawbone or are open to bone grafting
- Want a long-term, stable alternative to dentures or bridges
Even if you’ve been told implants aren’t possible, new technologies may make treatment achievable. We’ll conduct a thorough consultation and discuss the best plan for your needs.

Our Dental Implant Process
1. Consultation & 3D Imaging
We use cone beam CT (CBCT) and digital intraoral scanning to evaluate your anatomy and digitally map your treatment using Nobel Biocare’s guided planning tools.
2. Surgical Placement
Using advanced techniques like X-Guide™ dynamic navigation, we place your implants with real-time precision. Sedation options are available for a safe and comfortable experience.
3. Healing & Osseointegration
Over the next several months, the implant integrates with your bone to create a stable foundation.
4. Final Restoration
Your general dentist will place a custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture on the implant for a natural, fully functional result.
