Dental Implants
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants are made of titanium or zirconia. They are surgically implanted in the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once they have fused with the jaw in a process called osseointegration, they can provide unrivaled support for restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures.
This is the only treatment in dentistry that can replace natural teeth from root to crown. Implants are also the only treatment that can prevent jawbone atrophy. After tooth loss, the underlying jawbone loses the stimulation the tooth roots once provided. It can begin to wither quickly, leading to a range of dental health issues. Because implants anchor in the jaw, they can provide the stimulation needed to keep the bone healthy and strong.
Zirconia and titanium dental implants are durable enough to last a lifetime, and the restorations they support can last you decades. Our dentures, crowns, and bridges are custom-made and precisely tailored for the shape, shade, and size that's best for your bite and smile. Choosing to restore your teeth with dental implants can truly change your life.

This option uses one implant, one abutment (connector piece), and one dental crown to replace a single missing tooth.
Implant bridges can replace up to four missing teeth in a row. They are retained by two dental implants and two abutments.
Full implant dentures are typically supported by six to eight dental implants and the same number of abutments.
Mini dental implants are about half the circumference of regular implants. They're a great option for replacing smaller teeth, like the canines and incisors. Because of their small size, the mini implant placement process tends to be quicker and requires less recovery time.
The All-on-4® method can support a full denture with just four implants. These implants are strategically angled to maximize contact with the jawbone. This helps some patients with low jawbone density avoid the need for a bone graft, which can expedite the treatment schedule.
The Dental Implant Timeline
The entire dental implant process typically takes about six months. Depending on your individual case, your timeline may be a bit longer or shorter.
Does Insurance Cover Dental Implants?
/
Dental insurance will typically cover restorations, but implants are not usually covered. We accept most types of dental insurance and can communicate with your provider to maximize your coverage. During your free consultation, we can work with you to design a treatment plan that works for your needs and budget.
