what are dental Implants?
When it comes to restoring missing teeth, dental implants offer a remarkable solution that mimics the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. But what exactly are dental implants, and how do they work?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a replacement for a missing tooth root. This post acts as a sturdy foundation for a dental restoration, such as a crown or bridge, which is securely attached to the implant. The result is a durable, lifelike replacement tooth that seamlessly blends with your natural smile.
The materials used in dental implants are carefully chosen for their biocompatibility and durability. The titanium used in dental implants has a unique ability to fuse with the surrounding teeth bone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong bond that ensures the stability and longevity of the implant.
Our Specialized Treatment Process
Phase One – Personalized Consultation
To ensure precision and accuracy in planning your dental implant procedure to replace a missing tooth, we use revolutionary tools, such as Zirkonzahn® Face Hunter, that capture photorealistic images of your face and smile. What makes this technology truly exceptional is that we can accomplish this step remotely from the comfort of your own home. By eliminating the need for multiple trips to our dental implant treatment center, we strive to make the process convenient and time-efficient for you.
Phase Two – Dental Implant Surgery
Using our state-of-the-art custom surgical guide, we meticulously place your dental implant(s) at precise angles and depths within your jawbone. This approach is vital for maximizing the long-term stability and aesthetic appeal of placing dental implants. Our goal is to create a strong foundation that will support your new teeth for years to come.
If we determine that the primary stability of your dental implant(s) is optimal, we can attach a temporary crown or bridge during the same appointment. This means that when you leave our office after your surgical procedure, you'll already have a new tooth or set of teeth that function just like your natural ones.
Phase Three – Healing and Final Restoration
Once the healing phase is complete, we'll schedule a follow-up appointment for you. At this meeting, we'll proceed with the final step of your dental implant treatment – the placement of your custom-made crown or bridge. Crafted with utmost precision and using high-quality materials, your restoration will not only be able to withstand the forces of chewing and biting but will also blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.
In addition to our advanced imaging technology, we utilize Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans, providing highly detailed 3D images of your jawbone and the precise positioning of your existing teeth. These scans allow us to properly assess your dental health, evaluate the quality of your jawbone, and determine the optimal placement for your dental implants.

Enhanced Bone Health
New Teeth within Your Budget
Dental implants are the ideal tooth replacement solution and the only long-term option for single or multiple missing teeth that also restores health and aesthetics. Treatment becomes more affordable with every other tooth that needs to be replaced since multiple implants can be placed during the same surgical appointment.
Your overall cost of treatment will also depend on if you need a tooth extracted or bone grafting. We’ll complete these procedures right in our office, too, so we can streamline your treatment process.
If you need assistance paying for your dental implants, we offer third-party financing and can file insurance claims on your behalf. Rest assured, we will help you afford a new smile with dental implants!
Frequently-Asked Questions
The cost of a dental implant can vary depending on various factors such as the number of implants needed, the complexity of the case, and any additional procedures required.
We understand the importance of transparency, which is why we offer personalized consultations to provide an accurate cost estimate tailored to your specific needs.
Our friendly team will guide you through the financial aspects, discuss available payment options, and even explore potential insurance coverage or financing plans to make your dental implant journey as affordable as possible.
We prioritize your comfort and strive to make the dental implant experience as pain-free as possible.
Before the procedure, we will thoroughly numb the treatment area using local anesthesia to ensure you don’t feel any pain during the implant placement. Additionally, we offer various sedation options to help you relax and minimize any potential discomfort or anxiety. While some patients may experience minor post-operative discomfort or swelling, it is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medications.
Our dedicated team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you navigate the healing process smoothly and address any concerns or questions you may have along the way.
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for tooth replacement. With proper care and maintenance, a tooth implant can last for many years and even a lifetime in some cases.
The durability of dental implants is attributed to the high-quality materials used, such as titanium for the implant post and porcelain for the crown. Additionally, regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices will help ensure the longevity of your dental implant.
While Original Medicare primarily focuses on coverage for hospitalization, medical services, and prescription drugs, it typically does not extend to dental procedures, including dental implants. Dental implant treatments are considered elective or cosmetic rather than medically necessary.
To explore your options for dental implant coverage, examining the benefits provided by Medicare Advantage plans is recommended. Private insurance companies approved by Medicare offer these plans, and some may include dental benefits that cover dental implant procedures.
Dental implants are generally safe and well-tolerated. However, as with any surgical procedure, there may be some potential side effects. Common side effects after a tooth implant can include temporary discomfort, swelling, bruising, or minor bleeding at the implant site.
These side effects are generally manageable and subside within a few days to a week. Our experienced implant dentistry specialists will provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimize potential side effects and promote a smooth recovery process.
