What are dental implants?
"Simple implants" replace one or several missing teeth with a titanium post that fuses with your jawbone, topped with a custom crown or bridge. Compare what life looks like with and without one.
With an implant
A permanent tooth that acts like your own
-
Custom crown color-matched to your natural teeth
-
Stops the jawbone loss that begins immediately after a tooth is lost
-
Functions like a natural tooth - bite into anything you want
-
Designed to last decades
-
Healthy adjacent teeth are never ground down or altered
Without an implant
When a missing tooth is left alone
-
Jawbone in the empty socket starts shrinking within months
-
Adjacent teeth tilt or drift into the gap, throwing off your bite
-
Opposing tooth can over-erupt, causing pain and uneven wear
-
Higher risk of gum disease and decay
-
Visible facial sagging over time as bone volume decreases

Final Crown(s)
We use cone beam computer topography (CBCT) and 3D scans to plan your new implant and crown before surgery.
We fabricate a custom guide for your surgery. This ensures that your implant is placed exactly where it should be, eliminates any guess work, and cuts down on chairtime.
