Missing a Tooth Can Affect More Than Your Smile
Chewing
A missing tooth can make chewing certain foods more difficult or uneven.
Your Bite
Over time, a gap can shift how your upper and lower teeth meet.
Neighboring Teeth
Nearby teeth can gradually shift into the open space left behind.
Bone & Confidence
Bone loss can follow tooth loss, and many patients feel less confident smiling or speaking.
Not every missing tooth requires an implant. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, bone levels, bite, and overall needs before recommending the appropriate treatment.
How Implant Treatment Works
- Consultation. We discuss your goals and evaluate your oral health and bone.
- Imaging & Planning. Diagnostic imaging, when appropriate, helps plan the position of the implant.
- Implant Placement. The implant post is placed in the jaw under local anesthesia.
- Healing & Follow-Up. The implant needs time to heal and bond with the surrounding bone before restoration.
- Restoration. An abutment and custom crown (or other restoration) are attached once healing is complete.
- Maintenance. Regular checkups and good home care help support your implant long term.

What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jaw to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it has healed and bonded with the surrounding bone, it can support a crown, bridge, or denture.
Am I a candidate for a dental implant?
It depends on your individual needs: your oral health, the amount and quality of bone available, and your overall health history. Your dentist will determine whether you're a candidate after an evaluation.
How long does an implant take?
Timelines vary by case. Placement is often a single appointment, but healing before the final restoration can take a period of months depending on your bone and how you heal.
Is implant placement painful?
Implant placement is done with local anesthesia, and most patients report manageable discomfort afterward, similar to an extraction. Your dentist will discuss what to expect for your specific case.
How long do dental implants last?
Many implants last for many years with good oral hygiene and regular checkups, though individual results vary and long-term success depends on your bone health and how well the implant and restoration are maintained.
What happens if I have bone loss?
Bone loss doesn't automatically rule out an implant, but it may change the recommended approach. Your dentist will evaluate your bone levels and explain your options after an exam and imaging.
Can I replace multiple missing teeth with implants?
Depending on your needs, multiple missing teeth may be addressed with individual implants or an implant-supported restoration. Your dentist will explain which approach fits your case after an evaluation.
How much do dental implants cost?
Implant treatment involves several components, and the total depends on your specific needs. Our team will provide an itemized treatment plan so you know what's included before treatment begins. See our fees page for our other published fees.
Can I use dental insurance?
Some dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for parts of implant treatment. See the dental insurance plans we work with, or call our office and we'll help you understand your specific benefits.
Can membership savings apply to implant treatment?
Ask our team how your membership savings apply to your specific implant treatment plan. Some components may qualify for the 15% member discount on additional treatment.
