IMPLANTS
If you are living with missing teeth, the thought of 'dental surgery' can feel intimidating. However, dental implants are actually one of the most routine and predictable procedures in modern dentistry. Think of an implant not as a 'fake tooth,' but as a high-tech replacement for your tooth that keeps your jaw healthy and your smile strong.
What is a dental implant?
When you lose a tooth, you lose two parts: the white part you see above the gums
(the crown) and the "anchor" below the gum that holds it in place (the root).
A dental implant is a tiny, medical-grade anchor that acts just like a natural root.
It is tucked away under your gums, where it heals and becomes a part of your jaw
like all your other roots. Once it’s nice and sturdy, we attach a
beautiful, custom-made tooth on top.
Does the process hurt?
Most patients are surprised to find that receiving an implant is no more uncomfortable than a simple filling. The materials are biocompatible, and the look and feel of your implants are natural.

What does the process
look like?
The process typically begins with a consultation and imaging to plan your case perfectly. Step 2 is to get your new implants! Once the implants are placed, they have to heal for 3–6 months, after which a custom crown (tooth) is attached.

Any visibly missing teeth can get a lightweight removable appliance that looks like a real tooth, often called a 'flipper'. Be aware, these are temporary and not a long-term fix!
"Can't I get by without those teeth?"
Missing teeth cause problems in ways you wouldn't expect. Other teeth will shift, as well as have to take on more of the workload. This can lead to other teeth breaking, misalignment, difficulty eating or speaking, bite issues, increased risk of decay, and even social issues. Missing teeth can only lead to more problems, costing you time and money.
Why patients love them
They look real – Your new teeth will match your natural teeth in shape and color, blending in.
They feel real – you can eat, speak, and smile exactly like a real tooth
