Losing a tooth changes more than your smile — it changes how you chew, how your jawbone holds its shape, and eventually how your other teeth start to shift into the gap. A titanium implant post replaces the root itself, not just the visible crown, which is why it stops that shifting before it starts.
Every case starts with a CBCT scan so the specialist knows bone volume and nerve position before the surgical guide is even made. For patients with lower bone density, bone grafting or a sinus lift is scoped out during that same consultation — not discovered mid-surgery.
The waiting period after placement exists for a reason — rushing the crown onto an implant that hasn't fully integrated risks the restoration failing. A temporary tooth usually covers the gap during that healing window so you're not left with a visible space.
Placement is handled by periodontists or oral surgeons with specific implant-surgery training, not a general dentist doing it occasionally.
Digital scans build a precise surgical guide so the implant lands exactly where it was planned, not by estimation.
Consultation, placement, healing abutment, and final crown are each priced separately so you know what you're paying for at every step.
If your jawbone needs building up first, that's handled without bouncing you to a separate specialist's office.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist you reach through us has handled it before.
A titanium post replaces the root, topped with a custom porcelain crown matched to your bite and shade.
Two or more implants anchor a fixed bridge, ideal when several adjacent teeth are missing.
A full arch of missing teeth is restored using just four strategically angled implants per jaw.
If your current dentures move when you eat, implant anchors can stabilize them without a full-arch rebuild.
Prepares thin or shallow bone so it can properly support an implant post long-term.
Select cases qualify for a temporary crown placed the same day as surgery, with the final crown fitted after healing.

Healing and osseointegration typically take several months; the surgery itself is usually the shortest part of the timeline.
Placement is done under local anesthesia, and most patients describe recovery discomfort as similar to a tooth extraction.
Bone grafting or a sinus lift can often rebuild enough volume to support an implant, evaluated during your CBCT scan.
Cost varies by case complexity and whether grafting is needed; we provide a written stage-by-stage estimate before you commit.
A bridge relies on adjacent teeth for support; an implant stands independently and doesn't require altering nearby teeth.
With proper hygiene and regular checkups, implants commonly last twenty years or longer, often a lifetime.
