Are You Ready to Reclaim Confidence in Your Smile?
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone. They act as artificial tooth roots that support crowns, bridges, or full-arch dentures. Once placed, the implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a secure foundation for permanent tooth replacement.

The Dental Implant Procedure: Step-by-Step
-
Consultation & Exam
Your first visit includes a dental exam, digital X-rays, and a personalized consultation with Dr. Shah or Dr. Moses to discuss your goals and treatment options. -
Implant Placement Surgery
Titanium posts are precisely inserted into the jawbone and covered with gum tissue to heal. Over the next few months, they integrate into the bone. -
Healing & Osseointegration
Healing typically lasts 3–6 months. During this time, temporary restorations may be used so you never go without teeth. -
Abutment & Crown Placement
Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to each implant, and a custom-made crown or bridge is secured for a seamless, functional result.
Are You a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for implants if you:
-
Have one or more missing teeth
-
Are in good oral and general health
-
Have sufficient jawbone or are open to bone grafting
-
Don’t smoke or are willing to quit during healing
Dental Implants FAQs
What Is the Best Option to Replace Missing Teeth?
Dental implants are the top choice for most patients. They replicate the look, feel, and strength of natural teeth without requiring adhesives or special care. They’re more durable and functional than dentures or bridges.
Are Dental Implants Permanent?
Yes. The titanium implant fuses permanently with the jawbone. The visible restoration (crown or prosthetic) typically lasts 20–30 years with proper care.
How Are Dental Implants Done?
The process involves a consultation, surgical placement of implants, a healing phase, and final restoration. Healing collars and abutments are placed before attaching custom restorations that match your natural teeth.
How Long Do Dental Implants Take to Heal?
The complete process takes 6–8 months. While the full integration of the implant with the jawbone takes time, pain and swelling typically resolve within a few weeks.
Can You Eat Normal Foods with Dental Implants?
Yes. After the healing phase, you can enjoy all foods, including crunchy, chewy, and hard items. Initially, a soft diet is recommended for about 2 weeks.
How Do You Brush Dental Implants?
Brush twice daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Floss and pay special attention to the gumline. Visit your dentist twice a year for professional cleanings.
Does Insurance Cover Dental Implants?
Coverage varies. Some policies may cover part of the procedure if deemed medically necessary. While restorations are more commonly covered, titanium post placement may not be. Our team will help you verify benefits and explore financing options.
What Are Alternatives to Dental Implants?
Dentures and bridges are traditional alternatives. These may be preferred by patients who want a non-surgical option or are not candidates for implants due to health or bone density issues.
Is the Dental Implant Procedure Painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia and gentle techniques ensure a smooth experience, and most post-op discomfort is manageable with over-the-counter medication.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
The implant itself can last a lifetime. The attached crown or bridge may need replacement after 20–30 years, depending on wear and care.
