What Are Dental Implants and How Do They Work?
Dental implants are a long-lasting and natural-looking solution to replace missing teeth. Made of durable titanium, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it serves as a stable foundation for a custom-made crown. Over time, the implant fuses with your bone, creating a secure and permanent tooth replacement.
Unlike dentures, which rest on the gums, or bridges that require support from neighboring teeth, dental implants function like natural teeth, providing strength and stability while maintaining the integrity of your jawbone.
The result? A smile that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth.
The Process:
Your Path to a Complete Smile
Your journey to a restored smile begins with a consultation, where our expert team will assess your unique situation and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you.
Our doctors will create a personalized treatment plan and guide you through every step of the process. The implant is placed during a minor surgical procedure, and once it heals and integrates with your jawbone, we’ll place a custom-made crown to complete the process.
From start to finish, we’ll ensure you’re comfortable and informed, so you know exactly what to expect. The healing process can take a few months, but the result is a strong, permanent replacement for your missing teeth.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implants are a highly effective solution for many adults with missing teeth, providing a permanent and stable replacement. Missing teeth can allow nearby teeth to shift, potentially changing your bite and leading to uneven wear, jaw pain, or additional dental work for adjacent teeth.

The cost of dental implants can vary depending on your specific needs, such as the number of implants required and the complexity of your case.
On average, dental implants can range in price from $4,000 to $6,000 per tooth in the United States, but prices may vary based on individual treatment plans.
Although implants tend to be more expensive upfront than other options like dentures or bridges, their durability and long-term benefits often make them a more cost-effective choice.

In some cases, yes. Insurance coverage for dental implants depends on your dental plan. Our team can help review your benefits and work with you to find the best payment options available.
