They are a long-term solution that closely replicates the appearance and function of natural teeth, helping to restore your ability to chew and regain a confident smile. Whether you need to replace a tooth, stabilize dentures, or undergo a full mouth restoration, dental implants offer a durable, natural-looking solution that improves oral function and quality of life.

Dental Implant Options

Process

  1. Consultation: Your dentist will first do an oral examination and listen to your concerns. Once treatment is decided, we will take a CT scan, impression, and match the color of your natural teeth to make your implant crown(s) look as natural as possible.
  2. Treatment: If you still have remaining teeth that need to be replaced, your dentist will extract them and do the implant insertion on the same day. You’ll go home with a temporary that still gives you a beautiful smile.
  3. Impression: Once healed, the dentist will take an impression to fabricate the final crown or bridge.
  4. Cementation: At this appointment, we will try the crown or bridge before cementing to check that the bite, color, and shape are correct. Once approved, the crown will be cemented permanently.

Process

  1. Come in for a consultation. Once treatment is decided, we’ll take your impressions and a CT scan to determine the best plan for where implants should be placed.
  2. On the day of your treatment, you’ll have the remaining teeth extracted(if you have any remaining teeth) and implants placed with temporary dentures attached so you can walk out the same day with your teeth.
  3. Once you’ve completely healed, we’ll take impressions for the final denture. A try-in is first created to ensure that you and the dentist are happy with the final result.
  4. At the final implant appointment, small metal housings will be placed on the implants to secure the denture. Any final adjustments will be made and then you will walk out with a new, confident smile!

Process

  1. Consultation: Your dentist will first do an oral examination and listen to your concerns. Once treatment is decided we will take a CT scan and impression.

  3. Impression: Once healed the dental professional will take an impression to fabricate the final bridge. The next appointment is the try-in where the patient and dentist will look to see if there are any changes needed to the function or aesthetics.  Once changes and improvements are made the lab will fabricate the final bridge.
  4. Finish: At this appointment, the dental provider will place the metal housings on the implants and attach the bridge. There may be minor adjustments to the bite that are needed. Smile with confidence!

Frequently Asked Questions

As soon as you want! We do strongly recommend a soft food diet (think mashed potatoes, smoothies, soups, etc) however, we encourage you to begin your soft food diet as soon as you are comfortable with it.

The first night after surgery and the first couple of days post-op are typically the most uncomfortable. Since dental implants involve outpatient oral surgery, it’s normal to experience some soreness and mild discomfort. However, most of our patients report that while the first day can be uncomfortable, by the second day they usually feel only mild discomfort, which can often be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Your dentist will prescribe medication for the immediate post-op period, and if your pain worsens at any point, we will address it right away. Each patient’s experience varies, but we aim to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the process.

YES! We are very proud of our team’s range of skills. From consultation to extraction to surgery to prosthetic to implant crown finish – all is done under one roof. The team you meet when you come in will be the familiar faces you see throughout your entire dental implant journey. ​​Additionally, we have an in-house lab where we fabricate your new smile, ensuring personalized, high-quality results tailored specifically to you.

Insurance coverage for dental implants varies by plan, but our team will assist with claims and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your financial needs.

This is a great but complex question. Without a consultation and diagnosis, it’s hard to provide an exact quote. However, we can share that with third-party financing, dental implants start at approximately $250 per month. Additionally, we offer bulk-fee pricing, so the more implants you need, the more you save.

Yes. We require upfront payment for all large procedures. This is one of the reasons that we offer 3rd-party financing, to help bridge this gap.

It can be! That is completely up to you and the sedation-certified dentist. Often, many of our full arch patients find doing this procedure under sedation more comfortable. Sedation does increase the fee of treatment, however, we offer 3 different kinds to fit your needs – emotionally, financially, and physically. We offer nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas), oral sedation (oral medication), and IV sedation (sedation through an IV that is monitored and titrated by your dentist).

That is dependent from person to person. Once treatment is paid in full, you can expect to have your surgery within a month. If you are under a time constraint or want a full smile for an upcoming event, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your schedule.

Our goal is to ensure that your new teeth look as natural as possible while providing excellent function and comfort. We prioritize aesthetics, working closely with our in-house lab to create custom prosthetics that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Our skilled technicians collaborate with our dental team to tailor the shape, size, and color of your new teeth to suit your face, smile, and functionality. By using high-quality materials and precision craftsmanship, we aim to give you a smile that feels authentic and boosts your confidence.
