Implants

Dental implants are small, titanium posts that are surgically inserted below the gum line and into the jawbone. They’re biocompatible, allowing them to fuse with the bone over time through a process called osseointegration, just like your natural teeth once were. This allows them to offer a strong and sturdy foundation for your replacement teeth to be attached to. They’re also able to continue supporting the bone structure, keeping the bone from deteriorating over time from not being used.

• Initial Consultation
  The initial consultation will give our dentist and oral surgeon an opportunity to examine your mouth, discuss any goals and expectations you have, and go over your medical history. we’ll then be able to outline your treatment timeline and walk you through the process of getting dental implants.

• Dental Implant Surgery
  Our board-certified oral surgeon is able to place the implants in-office, so you’ll be able to get the entire process completed under one roof, with the same team you started out with.

• Osseointegration & Abutment Placement
  After the implants have been placed, they’ll fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, which will take between three and six months. Then, we’ll call you back in to place the abutments atop each of your implants.

• Attaching the Final Restoration
  Lastly, as soon as we receive your final restoration, we’ll call you back into a pure dental spa to attach it to your implants and complete your smile.
