Dental Implants
Dental implants are a reliable, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Surgically placed into the jawbone, implants act as artificial roots that support crowns, bridges, or dentures. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth—and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
Our experienced dentists offer comprehensive implant care, from replacing a single missing tooth to full-arch rehabilitation.
Single Tooth Implants
A single dental implant replaces one missing tooth with a titanium post and a custom crown. It’s independent of neighboring teeth, making it a conservative and long-term solution.
We use platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in all of our implant procedures for better results and decreased post-operative discomfort.
Frequently Asked Questions: Single Tooth Implants
Yes, in most cases. Unlike a bridge, a single implant doesn’t require grinding down adjacent teeth and helps preserve bone.
Yes. The crown is custom-shaded and shaped to blend seamlessly.
Yes. Dental implants have a high success rate and are widely regarded as the most effective long-term solution for tooth loss.
Bone grafting or sinus lifts may be recommended before or during implant placement.
There’s no upper age limit. If you’re healthy enough for dental surgery, you’re likely a candidate.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Implant bridges replace multiple missing teeth using two or more implants to support a fixed bridge. Ideal when several adjacent teeth are missing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Implant-Supported Bridges
Implant bridges don’t rely on natural teeth for support, which means no alteration to healthy adjacent teeth and better long-term stability.
Typically 2–4 implants, depending on how many teeth are being replaced.
Implant Overdentures (Snap-On Dentures)
Overdentures are removable dentures that “snap on” to implants for added stability. They provide improved chewing and confidence over traditional dentures.
Frequently Asked Questions: Implant Overdentures
Typically 2–4 implants in the lower jaw and 4–6 in the upper jaw.
Yes. Overdentures are designed for easy removal for cleaning and sleeping.
All-on-X (e.g. All-on-4, All-on-6)
All-on-X is a modern, full-arch solution using 4 to 6 implants to support a fixed, non-removable set of teeth. It’s often done in one day and avoids the need for bone grafting in many cases.
Frequently Asked Questions: All-on-X
“X” stands for the number of implants used—often 4 or 6. The placement is angled to maximize bone contact and support.
In many cases, yes. A temporary prosthesis is placed on the same day, with a permanent set delivered after healing.
