Dental Implants Create Lasting and Natural Smiles
"Got my implant done today. Literally 20 minutes for my single implant. No pain and they made me so comfortable . . . Great experience!!"

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they serve as sturdy artificial roots for replacement teeth. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, providing a strong and stable foundation. A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is then securely attached to the implant, restoring the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. Dental implants are a long-lasting solution that can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full set of teeth, helping you regain your confidence and smile with ease.
The Dental Implant Process
The dental implant process usually involves multiple visits over several months. During your initial consultation, our dental surgeon will examine your mouth and take X-rays and 3D scans to assess the condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. This will help us determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.
01
If you are a good candidate, the next step is implant placement surgery. This involves a small incision in your gum tissue to expose the jawbone and place the implant in the bone. After placement, the implant will need time to integrate with the bone, a process called osseointegration.
02
Once the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment will be attached. This connector will hold the crown, or artificial tooth, in place. The crown is custom-made to match the shape, size, and color. It is then attached to the abutment, completing the dental implant process.

Customized Dental Implants Options for You
The implant surgery is not same for every individual, as it depends on the bone health. Based on your oral bone health, we may have two implants options: Endosteal and Subperiosteal.
- Endosteal implants are placed directly into the jawbone. They are the most commonly used type of implant and are typically used for patients with healthy jawbones.
- Subperiosteal implants are placed under the gum tissue but above the jawbone. They are used for patients who do not have enough bone to support endosteal implants.
