A dental implant is a surgically placed titanium (or ceramic) post that acts like a natural tooth root. Over several months, it fuses with your jawbone—a process called osseointegration—to securely support a crown, bridge, or denture.
Dental implants offer a permanent, long-lasting solution for missing teeth, restoring the natural look, feel, and function of your smile. Unlike traditional dentures, implants prevent bone loss and facial sagging by stimulating the jawbone, helping to preserve your facial structure and maintain a youthful appearance. They provide full chewing power and clear speech without the slipping, clicking, or need for adhesives associated with removable dentures. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, dental implants are a reliable choice for restoring both aesthetics and function. Patients across loreum and the surrounding areas trust implants for their durability, comfort, and life-changing results.

Your dental implant journey begins with a thorough exam and digital 3D imaging. We assess your jawbone health, gum condition, and overall oral wellness. Our team will discuss your smile goals and answer all your questions. Based on the findings, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan just for you.
Using precise, computer-guided tools, we surgically place the titanium implant into your jawbone. This procedure is performed with your comfort in mind and may include sedation if needed. The implant acts as an artificial root, supporting your future restoration securely. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume daily activities shortly after.
Over the next 3–6 months, your jawbone naturally fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable, long-lasting foundation for your new tooth. Temporary restorations can be placed to maintain your appearance during healing. We’ll monitor your progress with check-ups to ensure everything is healing properly.
Once healing is complete, we place your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture onto the implant. Each restoration is designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and function. You’ll leave with a strong, comfortable, and natural-looking smile. We’ll provide care tips and schedule follow-ups to keep your implant healthy for years to come.
We’ll conduct a personalized assessment to ensure implants are the right choice for your needs. Most healthy adults are good candidates for dental implants. You may qualify if you:
Ideal candidates are in good overall and oral health, with sufficient jawbone. Bone grafting may be an option if needed
Discomfort is mild, similar to a tooth extraction. Post-op swelling or soreness is managed with medication
Full treatment takes 4–9 months, depending on healing and placement schedule.
With good oral hygiene and regular care, dental implants can last a lifetime; crowns may need replacement after 10–15 years .
Many plans cover implants partially. Our admin team will assist with verification and financing options.
