Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth.
Losing a tooth hits harder than most people expect. It’s not just the gap—it’s how you chew, how you talk, how you feel about your own mouth. Dental implants don’t just fill the space. They give you something that feels solid, steady, and like it belongs. Once they’re in, they’re in—and you can go back to living your life without thinking about it.
A deeper fix than just appearances.
A dental implant starts with a post placed in your jaw, where your natural root used to be. After healing, a custom tooth is added on top. It doesn’t shift, doesn’t come out, and doesn’t rely on other teeth to stay in place. For many people, that’s what makes the difference—not just the look, but the freedom to eat, speak, and smile with ease again.
It might be a good choice if:
• You’ve lost one or more teeth
• You want something that won’t move or slide
• Your gums are healthy and your bone can support it
• You want to leave the teeth next to it alone
• You’d prefer a long-lasting solution without daily fuss
Dentists often suggest implants when bridges aren’t the right fit—especially if keeping the rest of your smile untouched is a priority.
Every step takes time—but it’s worth it.
Here’s how it usually goes:
• First, your dentist checks if you’ve got enough healthy bone
• Then, the post goes in—done with local freezing so it’s low on pain
• You wait a few months while the bone and implant fuse
• After that, the tooth (crown) is added
• You’ll come in for checkups now and then to make sure it’s holding strong
Sometimes, you’ll need a bone graft before the implant. If so, your dentist will walk you through everything at your pace—no pressure.
