What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small posts made from biocompatible titanium that are placed below the gumline and directly into the jawbone via oral surgery. Due to their composition, they’re able to naturally fuse with the bone material and serve as replacement tooth roots, where they provide natural stimulation and blood flow to the jawbone. Once this fusion has occurred, a dental restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to provide the patient with replacement teeth that look and function naturally.
The Dental Implant Process
Initial Consultation
The first step of your dental implant journey is to schedule a consultation with Dr. David. During this visit, he and his team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your teeth and gums and take X-rays to determine how to create a customized dental implant treatment plan.
Dental Implant Surgery
David offers in-house dental implant placement! His team can complete every step of the process under one roof, meaning that you won’t have to deal with other teams, offices, or time and distance restraints. After the implant surgery, the posts must fuse with the jawbone. This can take anywhere from three to six months.

Restoration(s)
Once your restoration has been crafted to the exact specifications, we’ll complete the last step of the process by attaching it to your implants.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are so popular and highly recommended by dentists for numerous reasons, many of which have to do with the unique and unparalleled oral health benefits they provide. Not only are they the closest possible replacement in terms of look and feel to your natural teeth, but they also stop jawbone deterioration as well as restore a significant amount of your original bite force!
Who Dental Implants Can Help
Dental implants can be used to replace one, two, or any number of missing teeth. Based on his findings during your consultation, Dr. David will recommend one of the following treatment paths based on the extent of your tooth loss.
Missing One Tooth
To replace a single tooth, we can secure a sole dental implant post below the gumline. Once it’s fused with the jawbone tissue, an abutment can be placed on top that will anchor a restoration, which in this case will be a dental crown.
Missing Multiple Teeth
Replacing multiple teeth using dental implants is similar to replacing a single tooth. Rather than altering the existing structure of your teeth to secure a bridge, Dr. David can attach the restoration to two dental implants placed on either side of the gap.
Missing All of Your Teeth
Replacing an entire mouthful of missing teeth is a great way to revitalize both the functionality and esthetics of your smile.Using anywhere from four to eight strategically placed implant posts, Dr. David will restore your new confident smile.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
The cost of this treatment depends on several different factors, including the extent of your tooth loss as well as the potential need for any preliminary procedures, such as a bone graft or periodontal treatment. Fortunately, thanks to their longevity, dental implants tend to cost less than traditional bridges and dentures overall because patients don’t have to spend money on replacement prosthetics.
