Implants
Dental implants are the most natural-looking and functional tooth replacement method available today.
§ Procedure
In the practice's own words.
They utilize titanium posts that fuse with the jawbone to support crowns and dentures. The primary drawbacks are cost and timeline — the process takes 4-8 months from tooth loss to permanent placement.
Implants Step by Step
- 01 — Examination & Consultation: Initial evaluation determines candidacy. Good candidates typically have high bone density. Bone graft or sinus lift surgery may be necessary.
- 02 — Placement of Dental Implant: The tiny titanium post is surgically implanted into your jawbone underneath the gum line. A temporary fixture caps the post while it fuses over several months.
- 03 — Placement of Dental Crown: Once the post has fused with the bone, the permanent crown restoration is placed.
- 04 — Follow Up Care: Just like your natural teeth, dental implants are cared for with good daily oral hygiene and semi-annual dental visits. Unlike natural teeth, implants won't decay but can be affected by poor hygiene and periodontal disease.

Impeccable quality, great service. Treatment decisions come from the dentist-owner — not corporate management focused on margins.
