Learn About Our
Dental Implant Process

Our experienced dental team follows a systematic approach to dental implants:

Consultation: We’ll assess your suitability for dental implants and discuss your specific needs and goals. 

Treatment planning: After determining your candidacy, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan. 

Implant placement: Our skilled specialists will surgically place the implant, a titanium post, into your jawbone, which serves as a foundation. 

Healing and integration: Over a few months, the implant will naturally fuse with your bone, ensuring stability. 

Restoration: We’ll affix a custom-made, natural-looking crown or prosthetic tooth to the implant, completing your new smile. 

Dental Implants: FAQs

  • Our skilled surgeons perform dental implant surgery using minimally invasive techniques, minimizing discomfort and ensuring a smooth procedure. With the use of anesthetic, you should feel little to no pain, with most patients reporting the procedure was more comfortable than anticipated.

  • Typically, the dental implant process occurs in two phases- the surgical placement of the implant and the restoration of the implant with an implant crown. Depending on your dental health and whether or not you need a tooth extraction or bone graft, the entire process can take 3-6 months.

  • This depends largely on your specific needs, such as the number of implants needed, location of implant, and quality and quantity of bone. Generally, everything involved to replace one tooth with an implant costs around $3000-$4000. Dental insurance, discount plans, and our in house membership plan can all help reduce the cost of dental implants.

    We understand that the cost of dental implants can be a concern. We’ll work with you to explore payment options, and our finance team can discuss financing plans to make dental implants more affordable. 

  • With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Your hygiene habits and health history play a great role in determining the long term success of your implants. Closely following the guidelines of your dentist and hygienist will ensure the best outcome of your implants.

  • Most adults in good general health with one of more missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. Factors that can negatively affect the success and survival of dental implants include lack of adequate bone, medical conditions that inhibit bone healing, uncontrolled diabetes, and smoking.

“If you're looking for a solution to restore full function to your mouth and are committed to your long-term oral health, dental implants may be the right choice for you.”
