Dental Implant Results - we stand by our work
There’s a reason dental implants are quickly becoming the most popular treatment for missing teeth, and that's because the results are stunning. We carefully diagnose and plan every implant procedure to ensure each one results in a natural-looking and comfortably fitting tooth restoration.
Our dental implants provide a strong foundation to replace missing teeth and provide results that look and feel natural.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
To begin the implant process, a metal post is surgically positioned into the jaw. This post will act as a permanent “root” for the implanted tooth. Once it is in place and the surrounding bone and tissue have healed, the restoration is completed with a beautiful crown that looks, acts and feels like a natural tooth.
BENEFITS OF OUR DENTAL IMPLANTS:
- We stand behind our work
- Improve functionality—both eating and speaking
- Minimize oral bone loss
- Reduce compromise to adjacent healthy teeth
- Eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures
- Improve oral health and hygiene
- Give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself

RECOVERY
Placing a dental implant is a form of surgery, and with any surgery it is typical to experience various forms of discomfort including swelling, bruising, pain and minor bleeding. We have post-procedure tips to share to ensure your recovery goes as smoothly as possible, and if appropriate, we will can prescribe medication to lessen any pain.
FAILED IMPLANTS? WE HAVE A SOLUTION.
While dental implants are highly successful, occasionally an implant will fail to fuse with the bone. We don’t hide details like this from our patients. If by chance your implant fails, we have a plan in place to remove the implant and clean up the bone. With your needs in mind, we may recommend a repeat procedure down the road.

What to expect - the process explained
Dental implants are an oral surgery procedure that typically require multiple visits to the dentist. The implant process involves removal of the damaged tooth, preparation of the jawbone, and placement of the implant, abutment and artificial tooth with healing time in between. Knowing what to expect for each procedure is paramount to your comfort and confidence, and our team will explain the entire timeline before treatment begins.
