Often made of titanium and zirconia, dental implants look similar to screws but work just like natural tooth roots. Delivering continuous stimulation to the jawbone, they help to keep natural teeth in place while also maintaining a more youthful facial structure.
Their stability and durability are much more reliable than traditional tooth replacement options, and their ability to last for decades or even a lifetime are just a few of the reasons so many people continue to choose them when faced with tooth loss.
It takes several months to complete the dental implant process. Every step will be worth it in the end when you have a newly completed smile that looks as natural as it feels. Do you truly fully understand what will happen when you choose to get dental implants? Here’s a look at the four main steps of the process to help give you a clearer picture.
Delivering optimal stability, durability, and a longer lifespan, you can expect dental implants to give you back more than just your appearance. In fact, those are just a few of the reasons the millions of Americans who chose dental implants are enjoying life like never before!

If you have lost one or more teeth, there is a good chance you will be able to receive dental implants. These versatile tooth replacements can make life easier and more enjoyable once fully in place, but to receive them, you must first meet with your implant dentist for a consultation. It is during this visit that we will go over the status of your smile and the extent of your tooth loss. We’ll discuss the type of restoration you will need and how we plan to improve your smile through our in-house process.
When only one tooth is missing, we can replace it with one dental implant and custom-made dental crown. Filling in the space with a titanium or zirconia post, we will have a dental crown created and positioned on top so that it not only fills in the gap but also allows for improved oral function and aesthetics.
An entire row of missing teeth can be easily replaced using four to eight dental implant posts and a fully customized denture. Instead of using messy dental adhesive and natural suction to hold it in place, we will position the implant posts to ensure maximum support once your new artificial teeth are properly secured.
A dental bridge may be the common choice to treat multiple missing teeth, but an implant bridge can be a longer-lasting option. Using two dental implant posts, they will hold a custom-made bridge in place. There is no need to alter existing teeth when you can enjoy a fully restored smile using dental implants.
While improving the health and look of your smile might seem like a priceless endeavor, the reality is there is a cost associated with dental implants. Although different for each person, our team will work with you and your dental insurance company to help keep your expenses as low as possible. There are many factors our team will need to consider before establishing a firm estimate, but you can expect that we will do our best to improve your smile without emptying your pocket.
