What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because it replaces the entire tooth structure from root to crown. It consists of three precise components:

The Custom Crown
A high-grade porcelain tooth crafted to match your surrounding natural teeth perfectly.

Unlike traditional bridges or removable dentures, dental implants near you fuse directly with your bone, preventing the slipping, discomfort, and bone loss associated with other options.

Slipping Dentures or Bridges

Dental Implant FAQs

How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. While traditional bridges or dentures typically need replacement every 5 to 10 years, the titanium implant post permanently fuses with your jawbone. The visible ceramic crown may experience normal wear over decades, but can easily be replaced without disturbing the implant itself.
Is getting a dental implant painful?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia to completely numb the area, and we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to keep you relaxed. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild similar to a simple tooth extraction and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers for a few days.
What if I don't have enough jawbone for a dental implant?
If you've been missing a tooth for a while and have experienced bone loss, you may still be a candidate for implants. We can perform a minor bone graft procedure to rebuild and strengthen your jawbone before or during implant placement, ensuring a stable foundation for your new tooth.
