Dental Implants that Help Restore Comfort and Confidence

Dental implants are small titanium posts that we place in your jaw to replace missing tooth roots. We attach a custom crown on top to restore your tooth. When patients ask what dental implants are, we explain that they look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

For dental implants, our dentists start with an exam and imaging to check your jawbone. We then place the implant, allow time for healing, and attach your crown. A dental implants specialist on our team will ensure proper fit and long-term stability

The cost of a full set depends on how many teeth need to be replaced and your bone condition. We review the dental implant cost at Gentle Dental during your visit so you know exactly what to expect.

With proper care, the implant post can last for decades or even a lifetime. The crown on dental implants may need to be replaced after several years due to normal wear. Brushing, flossing, and regular checkups help extend the life of your implant.

Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans and are happy to review your benefits with you before treatment. 

Dental implants stay fixed in place; they do not move when you eat or speak. They feel more natural than dentures and do not require adhesives or removal. With All-on-X dental implants, you also protect your jawbone from shrinking over time.

Replacing a missing tooth with dental implants helps prevent nearby teeth from shifting. The implant also supports your jawbone and reduces bone loss. This helps maintain your facial structure and keeps your bite aligned over time.

After placement, mild soreness usually lasts a few days. Full healing for dental implants takes a few months as the implant bonds with your jawbone. We provide clear aftercare instructions to help you stay comfortable during the healing period.

A good candidate has healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant. We often provide a stable option for missing teeth. Before proceeding with dental implants, dentists confirm your eligibility with imaging during your visit.

We numb the area completely to avoid pain while placing a single implant. Dental implants are similar to a routine dental procedure. Any mild discomfort after the procedure can be managed with standard pain medication.

The full timeline depends on your healing, but most cases take 3-6 months. Dental implants need time to bond with your jawbone before we place the crown. We provide a clear treatment plan during your initial consultation.

Dental implant surgery has a low risk of complications when done properly. Our experienced dental implant dentists work to reduce the risk of infection or implant failure. We monitor your healing closely to ensure the implant integrates correctly.

Unlike removable options, dental implants stay in place and function like natural teeth. They help maintain your jawbone and allow you to eat comfortably. You also care for them the same way you care for your natural teeth.

One implant is typically used to replace a single missing tooth. However, full mouth dental implants can support multiple teeth or a full arch. We customize your treatment plan based on how many teeth need to be replaced.

Yes, but smoking can result in slow healing and increase the risk of implant failure. If you are considering dental implants, our dentists may recommend reducing or stopping smoking before treatment. This helps improve healing and long-term success.
