Who is a good candidate for implants?

Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are candidates for implants. You’ll need healthy gums, sufficient bone support, and a commitment to good oral hygiene. During your consultation, we’ll review your health and determine if implants are right for you.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 25 years or even a lifetime. Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants integrate with your jawbone, providing a stable, permanent foundation for your smile. Regular check-ups and good home care are key to longevity.

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable implant treatment is. The procedure is done with anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during placement. Some mild soreness afterward is normal but usually manageable with over-the-counter medication. Healing is typically smooth and predictable.

What are the benefits of dental implants compared to dentures or bridges?

Implants don’t slip, click, or rely on neighboring teeth for support. They preserve jawbone health, restore full chewing power, and look natural. While dentures and bridges are effective options, implants often provide the most secure, long-term, and comfortable solution for missing teeth.

Q: What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They act like artificial roots and support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, making them a long-lasting and reliable solution.

What Are dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent solution for patients seeking that perfect white smile. Implants are a great choice for patients that have broken, damaged, or missing teeth. Implants act similar to an artificial tooth that is placed in the jawbone. They are extremely durable, and are built to last upwards of 25 years.

Dental implants function like our natural teeth, and allow patients to speak and eat normally. They are comfortable in the mouth, and do not cause gum or mouth irritation like with other restorative solutions. Implants provide long lasting results, and if cared for properly they can last a lifetime.

  This is one of the friendliest offices I've ever been in.  Dr. Brad is awesome and Angela goes above and beyond in her role as hygienist!  While no one is thrilled to go to the dentist, I highly recommend them to anyone needing one.
