Missing a tooth shouldn’t hold you back from having a great smile. Dental implants not only restore your confidence but improve your overall oral health. With an implant, you'll enjoy full functionality again—eating, laughing, and speaking without a second thought.
What’s the Difference Between Traditional and Immediate Implants?
Traditional dental implants are typically placed in a two-step process. After a damaged tooth is removed, the area is left to heal—usually for several months—before the implant post is placed. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a final crown is added.
Immediate implants, on the other hand, are placed at the same time the tooth is extracted. This approach can shorten your overall treatment timeline and reduce the number of surgical visits. However, not every patient is a candidate for immediate implants. Factors like bone health, infection, and location of the tooth can impact whether this option is right for you.
During your consultation, we’ll help you determine which approach best fits your needs, health, and goals.
Bone Grafting
When it comes to ensuring the longevity and functionality of your dental implants, proper preparation in key. Our office has over 20 years of collective experience performing bone grafting procedures, a vital procedure.
Immediate Implants
In order to reduce the healing period required after extraction of a tooth, an implant can often be placed at the extraction site at the same time the tooth is removed. This is called an immediate implant. Our office is experienced in placing immediate implants reducing the time you are waiting for healing to occur and allowing your final crown to be placed in less time.

Natural Feel and Function

Aesthetically Pleasing
Each implant is custom-designed to match your existing teeth in shape, size, and color. This personalized approach ensures your new tooth blends seamlessly with your smile.
Preserves Oral Health
Made from biocompatible titanium, implants actually integrate with your jawbone, stimulating it just like natural tooth roots. This helps prevent bone loss and maintains your facial structure for years to come.

The Implant Treatment Process
Personalized Consultation & Evaluation
We begin with a thorough exam, including all necessary imaging, to assess your oral health and determine the best treatment approach. We’ll discuss your goals, review your bone structure, and let you know whether you’re a candidate for immediate implant placement or if a traditional timeline is recommended.
Tooth Removal & Implant PlacementI
If you’re a candidate for immediate implants, the implant post is placed on the same day as your tooth extraction—minimizing treatment time and helping preserve bone. If traditional implants are needed, we’ll first allow the area to heal after extraction, then place the implant post once the bone is ready.
Healing & Final Restoration
With both approaches, the implant needs time to fuse with your jawbone—a process called osseointegration. Once healed, we’ll place a custom crown designed to match your natural teeth in shape, shade, and strength, completing your confident new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

A single tooth implant is a modern solution for replacing a missing tooth. It consists of a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone and a custom-made crown attached to it. Unlike removable options like partial dentures, implants are permanently fixed, offering stability and comfort that feels just like your natural teeth.
Dental implants combine precision engineering with customization. The implant post is made from medical-grade titanium and comes in various standard sizes. The crown, however, is custom-made specifically for you. We either create it in-house using advanced technology or work with a specialized lab. The crown is typically made from porcelain for its natural appearance and strength. Once ready, we carefully attach it to your implant, completing your restoration.
With proper placement and care, dental implants can last for decades. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement over time due to normal wear, but the implant itself often lasts a lifetime. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor everything and address any issues early.
While uncommon, dental implants can develop an infection called peri-implantitis. This typically happens if proper oral hygiene isn't maintained. To minimize this risk, it's important to follow post-operative care instructions and maintain good oral hygiene practices.
Yes! When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area starts to deteriorate from lack of stimulation. An implant acts like an artificial tooth root, transmitting chewing forces to the jawbone. This stimulation maintains bone density and strength, much like a natural tooth would.
In some cases, you can receive a dental implant and temporary restoration in a single day. This depends on your specific situation and the type of implant best suited for you. The temporary restoration allows for normal function while your implant heals. We'll schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and create your permanent crown. A consultation will help us determine the best approach for your needs.
