Ignoring a Gap Leads to a Chain Reaction of Oral Health Issues
Why Replace a Missing Tooth?
Teeth Shifting
Teeth support each other. When one is lost, the neighboring teeth will slowly drift and tilt intro the empty space. This ruins your bite alignment and create gaps where food gets trapped.
Bone Loss
Your jawbone needs stimulation from a tooth root to stay healthy. Without it, the bone begins to shrink (resorb) almost immediately, which can weaken the support for adjacent teeth.
Excess Wear & Tear
Your teeth are designed to share the workload of chewing. Losing even one tooth puts excess pressure on the remaining teeth, significantly increasing the risk of cracks, chips, and erosion.
Opposing Tooth Issues
Teeth need a partner to bite against. Without it, the opposing tooth (above or below the gap) may slowly "grow" out of its socket looking for contact, leading to root exposure and sensitivity.
The longer you wait, the harder it is to recover.
The Anatomy of a Permanent Solution.
A dental implant is the only restoration that mimics the entire structure of a natural tooth, from the root up. It consists of three precision-engineered components working in harmony.
The Implant (The Root)
A small, biocompatible titanium post is gently placed into the jawbone. Over time, it fuses with your bone (a process called osseointegration), creating a rock-solid foundation that stimulates bone health.
The Abutment (The Connector)
Once the implant has bonded with the bone, we attach a support piece called an abutment. This acts as a shock absorber and the anchor for your new tooth.
The Crown (The Tooth)
The final visible part is a custom-shaded porcelain or Zirconia crown. It is crafted to match the shape, color, and translucency of your neighboring teeth so perfectly that no one will know it is an implant.

Conservative Solution that Protects Your Remaining Teeth
Implant vs. Traditional Bridge.
By choosing an implant, you are saving two healthy teeth from being cut down. This focuses the treatment only where it is needed—the missing tooth.

Predictable, Minimally Invasive Procedure
A Simple Path to a Whole Smile.
Precision 3D Scan
Safety first. We use a digital CBCT scan to view your bone structure in 3D. This allows us to digitally place the implant on a computer screen first, ensuring the exact angle and depth before we ever touch your mouth.
Gentle Placement
The procedure is quick and often takes less than an hour. Because the bone has no nerve endings, most patients report that placing an implant is actually easier than a tooth extraction. You will likely return to work the next day.
The Final Crown
After a healing period of 3–4 months (allowing the implant to bond with your bone), you return for the final step. We attach your custom-shaded porcelain crown, and you walk out ready to chew, smile, and live normally.

Clear answers to your most important concerns
Common Questions About Dental Implants
Does the procedure hurt?
This is the most common concern, but the answer is reassuring. Because the jawbone has very few nerve endings, the placement site is surprisingly comfortable. We use local anesthesia to numb the area completely. Most patients tell us the recovery is easier than a tooth extraction, often managed with just over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does the entire process take?
From placement to your final tooth, the process typically takes 3 to 4 months. This waiting period is crucial because it allows the titanium implant to fully fuse with your bone (osseointegration). This biological bond is what makes the implant last a lifetime.
I am missing 3 teeth in a row. Do I need 3 implants?
Not necessarily! We can often use just two implants to support a bridge of three or four teeth. This is a cost-effective solution that still provides all the stability and bone-preservation benefits of implants without the cost of replacing every single root.
Am I too old for dental implants?
Age is rarely a factor. Health is what matters. If you are healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, you are likely healthy enough to have an implant placed. We have successfully treated patients in their 80s and 90s who want to enjoy their food again.
Will my body reject the implant?
Dental implants have a success rate of over 95%. They are made from medical-grade titanium, which is "biocompatible," meaning your body accepts it as a natural part of you. Rejection is extremely rare in healthy non-smokers.
Will I have to walk around with a gap while it heals?
Absolutely not. If the implant is in a visible area (like a front tooth), we provide a temporary cosmetic tooth (often called a "flipper" or provisional crown) for you to wear immediately. You will never have to leave our office or face the world with a gap in your smile.
