Services / Dental implants
You've lost a tooth. Now what?
Dental implants are the most predictable way to replace any number of missing teeth. It starts with a complimentary consultation to see if they're right for you.
How it works
- Step 1
Free consultation
We talk through how implants could help, then use 3D CT imaging and CAD/CAM software to design the treatment right in front of you.
- Step 2
Your implant goes in
Sometimes a problem tooth comes out first, other times the implant goes right into the open space. In the smile zone, a custom artificial tooth is waiting for you to wear home that day.
- About 90 days
Healing
Your body needs time to create a strong connection between the bone and the implant, so it can handle the stress of chewing.
- 3 months after placement
Your final crown
We verify the implant has integrated, then take a quick, gag-free 3D scan. Our local lab, D&S, makes the components customized for you.
Planned before you're in the chair
With 3D CT imaging we can see the bone and teeth in the area of interest, then choose the right size and orientation of implant before we ever lay you back in the chair. For complex cases, we 3D print custom surgical guides.
