Missing teeth can make everyday life harder than it should be. You might avoid certain foods, hide your smile, or feel uncomfortable in social settings. If that sounds like you, know that you’re not alone. Dental implants allow you to regain a beautiful, permanent smile.
At Advanced Oral Surgery & Periodontics, we provide dental implants that don’t just replace your teeth—they help you take back your comfort and confidence. You deserve to feel like yourself again, and we’re here to help make it happen.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth. They replace the root of your missing tooth with a small post made of titanium or ceramic. Once the post is placed in the jaw, it conforms with your bone in a process called osseointegration. This strong foundation allows us to attach an artificial tooth, bridge, or even a full denture.
Each implant has three main parts:
- A post that acts like a tooth root
- An abutment that connects the post to the visible part of the tooth
- A crown, bridge, or denture that looks and functions like a natural tooth
Dental implants offer more stability than removable dentures and can last for many years with proper care.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants do more than just fill gaps in your smile. They help protect your long-term oral health and improve your everyday life. Patients often notice a difference right away—not just in how they look, but in how they feel.
With dental implants, you’ll enjoy:
- A natural-looking smile that boosts confidence
- The ability to eat, chew, and speak with ease
- Strong, stable support that can last for years
- Protection against bone loss and facial changes over time
Because implants are rooted in your jaw, they help prevent the bone shrinkage that often happens after losing teeth.
Types of Dental Implants Offered
Every patient is different, and so is every smile. That’s why we offer a range of implant options to match your needs and your goals.
We offer:
- Single tooth implants for one missing tooth
- Implant-supported bridges to replace several missing teeth
- All-on-4 implants for a full arch of teeth using just a few posts
- Same-day implants in select cases for quicker results
Your surgeon will recommend the best type based on your unique situation.
The Dental Implant Process
We make the dental implant process clear and comfortable. It all starts with a detailed consultation where we review your health, take 3D images, and talk through your options.
Once you’re ready, we’ll begin the surgical procedure to place the implant in your jawbone. Over the next few months, your bone will naturally bond to the post in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong base for your new tooth.
After healing, we’ll place the abutment and custom crown, bridge, or denture. You’ll be given detailed instructions for home care and regular follow-ups to make sure everything is healing well.
Dental Implant Cost
Dental implants are an investment in your overall health and confidence. The cost can vary depending on your needs, the number of implants, and whether you need additional procedures (like bone grafting.)
We’ll walk you through all costs upfront so there are no surprises. Our team will also help you understand your specific insurance benefits and payment options.
Not everyone is a candidate for implants. You’ll need healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant. If needed, we offer solutions like bone grafting to help prepare your mouth for treatment.
