The Dental Implant Procedure: What to Expect
Implant Placement
The implant, a small titanium post, is surgically placed into the jawbone where the tooth is missing.
Healing Process
Over a few months, the implant integrates with the bone, a process known as osseointegration.
Abutment Placement
Once healed, a small connector post, or abutment, is attached to the implant to securely hold the new tooth.
Artificial Tooth Placement
Finally, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment, completing your new smile.
Our Implant Treatment Options
Full Mouth Dental Implant Dentures
For those requiring extensive restoration, full mouth dental implant dentures represent the pinnacle of implant technology. By securing dentures with implants, patients enjoy enhanced stability, improved oral health, and the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Single Implant Tooth Replacement
A single dental implant is an excellent choice for replacing one missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth. It serves as a new tooth root, providing a strong foundation for the artificial tooth and preserving jawbone health.
All-on-4 and All-on-6
These techniques utilize four to six implants for added stability and support. This option is tailored for patients with higher bone density, providing an even stronger foundation for full-arch restoration.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures combine the affordability of dentures with the stability of implants. This hybrid solution offers improved comfort and functionality, allowing patients to enjoy their favorite foods without worry.
Implant Retained Dentures
Similar to implant-supported dentures, implant-retained dentures are anchored by implants but utilize special attachments that provide even more stability. This option is an excellent choice for those seeking an economical yet effective solution to secure dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can dental implants fail?
While dental implants have a high success rate, they can fail due to factors such as gum disease, poor oral hygiene, or excessive biting forces. Smoking can also increase the risk of implant failure. However, with proper care and maintenance, the risk of failure is significantly reduced.
How do I care for dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. Implants require the same diligent oral hygiene practices and regular dental visits to ensure they last a lifetime.
What is involved in the dental implant procedure?
The dental implant process involves several steps:
- Initial consultation: Assessment of your oral health and planning of your treatment.
- Implant placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone.
- Healing period: The implant integrates with the bone, a process that can take several months.
- Abutment placement: Once healing is complete, an abutment is placed on the implant to hold the new tooth.
- Artificial tooth placement: A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants can vary widely, depending on several factors including the number of teeth being replaced and the need for any additional procedures such as bone grafting. While implants are typically more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, their durability and overall benefits can make them a more cost-effective option over the long term. Many dental insurance policies now provide coverage for implant procedures, and financing options are available to make the treatment more affordable.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
The success rate of dental implants varies, depending on where in the jaw the implants are placed but, in general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%. With proper care (similar to the care for natural teeth), implants can last a lifetime.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants offer several benefits over other tooth replacement options:
- Improved appearance: They look and feel like your own teeth.
- Enhanced speech: Poor-fitting dentures can slip, causing you to mumble. Implants eliminate this issue.
- Increased comfort: Implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
- Easier eating: Implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence.
- Durability: With proper care, implants are very durable and can last many years, often a lifetime.
- Improved oral health: Unlike a tooth-supported bridge, implants don't require reducing other teeth, preserving more of your own teeth.
Are dental implants right for me?
Dental implants are suitable for individuals with one or more missing teeth who are in good general health. Adequate bone in your jaw is required to support the implant, and the best candidates have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease. A consultation with a dental implant specialist is the best way to determine if implants are right for you.
How do dental implants work?
Implants are integrated into your jaw with a post that mimics the tooth root, providing a strong foundation for artificial teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Over time, the implant fuses with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration, which provides stable support for replacement teeth, ensuring they won't slip or shift in your mouth.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone beneath your gum line, allowing your dentist to mount replacement teeth or a bridge into that area. They are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, offering stability because they fuse to your bone, acting as a sturdy base for artificial teeth.
