Dental implants

An implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up: a small post in your jawbone, topped with a crown shaded to match your other teeth.

Plain answers

The short version

  • What it is

    A small titanium post placed in your jaw, which bonds with the bone over a few months. We then attach a natural-looking crown on top.

  • How long it takes

    Usually three to six months from start to finish, with a few short visits. Placing the post takes about an hour.

  • Does it hurt?

    We numb the area well, and laughing gas is available. Most people say it was easier than they expected. Expect some soreness for a few days.

  • What it costs

    Every case is different, so you get an exact price at a free consult. Payment plans are available.

Good to know

  • You clean and care for implants just like natural teeth.
  • Implants can also hold a bridge or denture firmly in place if several teeth are missing.

Questions

Dental implants: your questions

Am I too old for an implant?

Age alone isn't a problem. Your overall health and bone matter more, and we check both at your consult.

Why don't you list a price?

Implant costs depend on whether you need extra steps first, like bone grafting. We'd rather give you one honest number after seeing your scan.
