What is Implant Dentistry?
Comprehensive Implant Dentistry Services
Single Tooth Implants: A Natural Replacement
A single tooth implant is an ideal solution for replacing a missing tooth without affecting the adjacent teeth. The procedure involves:
- Initial Consultation: We evaluate your oral health and jawbone density to ensure you are a suitable candidate for a dental implant.
- Implant Placement: A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone.
- Osseointegration: The implant integrates with the bone over several months, creating a strong foundation.
- Custom Crown: A custom-made crown is attached to the implant, matching the color and shape of your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.
Multiple Tooth Implants: Restoring Function and Esthetics
For patients missing several teeth, multiple tooth implants can restore both function and esthetics. Depending on your needs, we may recommend:
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Instead of using natural teeth as anchors, dental implants support the bridge, providing a stable and secure solution.
- Individual Implants: Each missing tooth is replaced with its own implant and crown, offering maximum stability and a natural look.
Full Mouth Restoration: Complete Smile Makeover
For patients who have lost all or most of their teeth, full mouth restoration with dental implants can completely transform your smile and improve your quality of life. Options include:
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Dentures are secured with dental implants, providing a more stable and comfortable fit compared to traditional dentures.
- All-on-4® Treatment Concept: A full arch of teeth is supported by just four implants, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for full mouth restoration.
Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts: Preparing for Implants
In some cases, patients may require additional procedures to ensure there is enough bone structure to support dental implants. These procedures include:
- Bone Grafting: Adding bone matrix material to the jaw to facilitate the regrowth of your own bone, providing a solid foundation for the implant.
- Sinus Lifts: Elevating the sinus membrane and adding bone material to the upper jaw when there is insufficient bone height in the molar and premolar areas.
The Implant Dentistry Process: Step-by-Step

Treatment Planning
Implant Placement
The first step in the implant procedure is the surgical placement of the implant post into the jawbone. Our trusted surgeons can perform these procedures utilizing sedation and/or local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience. After the surgery, a healing period is necessary to allow the implant to integrate with the bone.
Osseointegration and Healing
During the healing period, osseointegration occurs, where the implant fuses with the jawbone. This process can take a few months to several months, but it is crucial for creating a stable and durable foundation for the replacement tooth.
