A dental implant is the only dental restoration that replaces a missing tooth’s root. Why does this matter?
Dental implants not only look completely natural, but they’re secured within your jaw and function just like a real tooth too.
This means you can:
Implant materials are incredibly durable and not susceptible to decay. When cared for properly, the crown can last 10+ years, and the post can last the rest of your life.
An implant will preserve your missing tooth’s bone structure, which prevents that sunken, aged look.
Dental implants cost more upfront, but because they prevent dental problems and don’t need ongoing maintenance, you’ll save money in the long run.
No one will distinguish an implant restoration from your surrounding teeth! From its color, shape, and size, every detail will be custom designed to look natural.
Dental implants don’t move around and cause pain while chewing. It’ll function like a natural tooth, so you can finally enjoy your favorite foods again (like apples and steaks!).
Unlike dentures, dental implants won’t cause you to mumble or slur words, give you a lisp, or worse, fall out mid-sentence!

Getting a dental implant doesn’t hurt. In fact, many patients state a tooth extraction causes more discomfort.
During the procedure, your mouth will be numb, so you don’t feel pain. If you need extra assistance to relax, we offer sedation dentistry and a comfort menu.
Our office also uses the latest dental technology, making placing the implant easier and faster.
After the procedure, your implant site may feel tender. This will subside within a few days, and over-the-counter pain medication can help in the meantime.
