Dental implants are permanent replacements for missing teeth. They look, function, and feel like healthy, natural teeth. Most patients can have their tooth 2-3 months after beginning the planning stage of their implant. For most of us we can’t grow new teeth (however they are researching the possibility), so we get implants. Sometimes, people take implants to the extreme.

Q. What are the steps involved?

Planning and CT scan to accurately measure bone availability.
Surgical placement of implant. Wait 2-4 months for implant to heal.
Preparation of gum tissue and fabrication of the crown. (May be done at future date if patient wants to wait)

Q. Are implants expensive?

Implants are more affordable than ever. Although initial cost is more expensive than a 3-unit bridge, there is a significant savings in the long term since implants usually last a lifetime.
