Missing teeth change
more than your smile.
When a tooth is gone, the jawbone beneath it begins to shrink. Neighboring teeth drift into the gap. Chewing redistributes stress in ways your bite wasn't built for. Over the years, the shape of your face changes.
Dentures help. Bridges help. But nothing replaces what's missing the way an implant does — because an implant doesn't just sit on top of your gums. It replaces the root of the tooth, fuses with your jawbone, and restores the whole structure.
For the right patient, implants are a once-in-a-lifetime solution. Done correctly, they stay. They stop the bone loss. They let you eat sweet corn again.
That's the work we do here.

The implant process,
step by step.
1
Consultation & 3D Scan
An hour in the office. We examine your mouth, take a 3D cone-beam scan, and go over your options. You leave with a written treatment plan and a transparent cost estimate. No hard sell, no surprises.
2
Preparation (if needed)
Any remaining failing teeth are removed. If your bone needs rebuilding, grafting happens here. Healing takes three to six months depending on the case.
3
Implant Placement
Surgical placement in our office, with IV sedation available. For full-arch cases, a temporary set of teeth is placed the same day. You go home eating soft food that evening.
4
Osseointegration
Over the next three to six months, the implant fuses with your jawbone. Routine checkups keep tabs on healing. Most people go about their life normally during this stretch.
5
Final Restoration
Your final crown, bridge, or full-arch is placed. Everything is fitted, adjusted, and polished. You walk out with teeth that look, feel, and function like your own.

You asked.
We answered.
The questions we hear most often in consultations. If yours isn't here, bring it on the call — we've heard almost everything by now.
How long do dental implants actually last?
A well-placed implant, cared for properly, can last thirty years or the rest of your life. The crown on top of the implant may need replacing around year 10–15, but the implant post itself is permanent for most patients. Long-term success depends on bone health, oral hygiene, and whether you're a tobacco user.
Does insurance cover implants?
Most dental plans cover some portion of the crown and extractions, but few cover the implant itself. We'll submit your estimate to insurance ahead of time so you know what's covered before you commit. For full-arch cases, insurance typically covers a modest percentage — financing through CareCredit or similar is what most patients use for the balance.
Is implant surgery painful?
Most patients compare the day-of surgery to a tooth extraction — uncomfortable but manageable. IV sedation is available for patients who want it. The first 48 hours involve soreness and swelling, controlled well by standard pain medication. Most patients are back to normal activities within a few days.
Am I too old for implants?
No. We regularly place implants for patients in their 70s and 80s. What matters isn't age — it's bone density, general health, and whether you're a smoker. A consultation and 3D scan tell us everything we need to know. We've placed many implants for patients who'd been told "you're too old" elsewhere.
What if I'm a smoker?
Smoking significantly increases the risk of implant failure — studies put the failure rate roughly double that of non-smokers. We still place implants for smokers, but we'll ask for a commitment to stop at least a few weeks before surgery and stay off tobacco during healing. We'll talk through this honestly in your consultation.
Can I finance a full-arch case?
Yes. We work with CareCredit and other dental-financing partners. For a typical $35K full-arch case, patients often finance $600–$800 per month over 5–7 years, depending on credit. We don't profit from the financing — we just want you to be able to proceed if the clinical case is right.
