What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are durable, natural-looking tooth replacements that mimic the function of real teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer

  • Single-Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth with a natural appearance.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges: Perfect for replacing multiple missing teeth.
  • All-on-4® Dental Implants: A cost-effective option for a full arch of teeth using only four implants.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: Offer more stability and comfort than traditional dentures.
  • Mini Dental Implants: A less invasive option suitable for certain patients.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

You might be an ideal candidate for dental implants if you:

  • Have one or more missing teeth.
  • Maintain good oral and general health.
  • Have sufficient bone density in your jaw.
  • Do not smoke or can quit during the healing process.
  • Are committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.

Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants

  • Natural Look and Feel: Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
  • Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
  • Prevent Bone Loss: Implants stimulate bone growth and prevent jawbone deterioration.
  • Enhanced Oral Function: Eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
  • Easy Maintenance: Care for implants just like natural teeth—brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups.

  1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Ida Alfonso will assess your oral health and create a personalized treatment plan.
  2. Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
  3. Healing and Osseointegration: The implant fuses with the bone over a few months.
  4. Abutment Placement: A connector piece is added to hold the new tooth.
  5. Crown Placement: A custom-made crown is securely attached, completing your new smile.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
