What Are Implants?
Dental implants consist of three separate parts that, together, give you natural-looking tooth replacement results. The implant itself is a small titanium post. We place the post into the jawbone and allow the metal to fuse with your bone, creating a replacement tooth root. We connect an abutment to this strong foundation to link the implant to your restoration. The restoration is the third piece of the implant puzzle. Depending on your needs, your restoration will be either a dental crown, bridge, or denture. This is the part of the implant that is visible, but don’t worry—it looks just like a natural tooth! Once all three pieces are in place, your new smile will be complete.
Benefits of Dental Implants

- Easy to care for—brush and floss like normal
- Can last a lifetime with proper care
How Much Does a Dental Implant Cost?
The cost of your dental implant treatment will depend on a variety of factors, including the current health of your jawbone, how many teeth need to be replaced, and your restoration needs. Before we begin, we always go over your expected out-of-pocket costs so you aren’t caught off guard. In addition to being insurance friendly, we have a variety of financial options to help ensure you can afford the care you need and deserve.
