Dental Implants: Permanent Tooth Replacement

An implant is a small post placed in the jawbone. Over time, the bone bonds with it, creating a stable base. A custom crown, bridge or denture is then attached.

• Single tooth: one implant with a crown
• Several teeth: an implant-supported bridge
• Full arch: see implant-supported dentures and All-on-4

• A detailed exam and digital imaging to assess bone and gums
• Bone grafting if there is not enough bone for an implant
• Guided implant surgery for precise placement
• A clear written plan and cost before you begin

Payment plans are currently available, so ask our front desk about options. We bill insurance where coverage applies. See financing.
