Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most permanent, natural-feeling way to replace missing teeth — restoring your bite, your bone, and your confidence for the long run.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium or zirconia post that's placed into the jawbone, where it acts as an artificial tooth root. Once it has integrated with the surrounding bone, it's topped with a custom crown, bridge, or denture — giving you a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like your own.
Implants can replace a single tooth or support a full arch of replacement teeth, making them one of the most versatile restorative options available.
Implant Options
Single Implant & Crown
A titanium or zirconia post replaces the root of a single missing tooth, topped with a custom crown that matches your natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridge
Two or more implants anchor a bridge that replaces several missing teeth in a row, without relying on your remaining natural teeth for support.
Implant-Retained / Implant-Supported Dentures
A small number of implants secure a full denture in place, dramatically improving stability and chewing power compared to a traditional removable denture.
Titanium vs. Zirconia
We offer implants in both titanium and zirconia. Titanium has the longest track record in dentistry, prized for its strength and biocompatibility. Zirconia is a metal-free, tooth-colored alternative that can be a great fit for visible front teeth or patients who prefer to avoid metal. We'll help you weigh both options based on where the implant is going and your personal preferences.
Top Reasons to Choose Implants
Permanence
Unlike removable options, implants are placed directly into the jawbone and function as a permanent part of your smile.
Bone Preservation
Implants stimulate the jawbone the way a natural tooth root does, helping prevent the bone loss that follows tooth loss.
Natural Look & Feel
A well-placed implant crown looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth — most patients forget it's there.
No Impact on Adjacent Teeth
Because an implant stands on its own, neighboring healthy teeth don't need to be altered or ground down for support, unlike some bridges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone density are good candidates. During a consultation, we'll evaluate your bone health, gum condition, and overall goals to confirm implants are the right fit for you.
Are dental implants safe?
Yes. Dental implants have decades of clinical use and a strong safety record. We use biocompatible materials — titanium or zirconia — that integrate well with the jawbone and surrounding tissue.
What's the difference between titanium and zirconia implants?
Titanium implants have the longest track record in dentistry, offering proven strength and biocompatibility. Zirconia implants are metal-free and tooth-colored, which can be a good option for visible front teeth or patients with metal sensitivities.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implants can last decades — for many patients, a lifetime. The crown on top may eventually need replacement due to normal wear, but the implant itself is built to be permanent.
