The Absolute Gold Standard for Replacing Missing Teeth
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are considered the gold standard; they’re capable of fully restoring the entire structure of a lost tooth, from the roots to the crown. This sets them far apart from other traditional tooth replacement options—and they can even offer patients numerous unique benefits that improve their oral health.

What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants refer to small posts that are surgically embedded below the patient’s gumline, directly into the jawbone. Since they’re made from biocompatible materials like titanium, they can safely fuse with bone matter, creating an incredibly sturdy foundation for virtually any sort of dental restoration. To put it briefly, dental implants can assist with restoring a patient’s lost teeth in terms of look, feel, and functionality, making them unrivaled in the world of restorative dentistry.
The 4 Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – Patients need to have sufficient jawbone density and decent oral health before they’re eligible for dental implants; otherwise, the implants themselves won’t be able to heal properly. We’ll closely inspect your mouth to ensure that you qualify.
- Dental Implant Surgery – We’re pleased to work with some of the most experienced oral surgeons and periodontists in the area, meaning that you’re only going to be working with qualified professionals who deliver exceptional results.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – Following your surgery, your mouth will need to heal up for a few months; this allows the implant posts to fuse with your jawbone. After this is done, abutment pieces will be attached, which your final restoration(s) sit atop.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – When it’s time, we’ll call you in to provide you with your brand-new replacement teeth. These are designed to look, feel, and operate just like your original pearly whites, and thanks to the support provided by the implant posts, they’ll serve you well for many years!
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants come with all sorts of unique benefits that can vastly enhance one’s quality of life, including:
- They provide healthy stimulation to the jawbone, preventing bone resorption (shrinking)
- Under ideal circumstances, they can last for several decades without needing replacement.
- They restore up to 80% of a patient’s lost biting power.
- Cleaning and maintaining them doesn’t require special methods, techniques, or tools.
- Despite a higher upfront price, they’re perhaps the most cost-effective solution for missing teeth.
