When dental implants are placed where you are missing teeth, you’ll be able to feel confident when you are smiling, eating, or talking with friends and family. You can smile without being self-conscious. You can eat more comfortably and regain your youthful appearance by having a complete, beautiful smile! 

Yes, with proper care and upkeep, the dental implant is made to last a lifetime! Implants are permanently embedded, and with proper care and upkeep, can last for years to come. 

Dental implants are matched to the color of your surrounding teeth to help them look completely natural. The implant should blend well with your existing teeth, helping you achieve a complete, beautiful smile. 

The implant process is completed over the course of 3 separate appointments, which can take a few months from start to finish. At your first appointment, we will place anchors where the tooth is missing. These anchors need some time to fuse with your jawbone to create a solid foundation. At your second appointment, titanium posts will be placed on top of the anchors. Lastly, at your third visit, a crown that has been molded to fit in place of your missing tooth will be placed on top of the posts. Although this process can take a few months, the end results are completely worth it! 

In comparison to dentures, implants last longer, are more comfortable and have a more natural appearance. Patients are beginning to choose implants over dentures because of their durability, comfort and ability to look like your natural teeth.
