Dental Implants: A Long-Lasting Solution
Dental implants are a modern, reliable method for replacing missing teeth. This treatment involves surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone, where they gradually fuse with the bone over about six months. This bonding process creates a solid foundation for attaching crowns, bridges, or dentures. Once integrated, the implants function like natural teeth—both in appearance and strength—and with proper care, they can last more than 30 years with minimal wear.
Who Needs Dental Implants?
Tooth loss can occur despite good oral hygiene due to injury, illness, aging, decay, or other factors. Regardless of the cause, restoring your smile is essential. If you’ve lost one or more teeth, dental implants offer a permanent, effective way to rebuild both your oral health and confidence.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Natural Look: Each implant is customized to match your existing teeth, creating a seamless, lifelike appearance.
- Exceptional Comfort: Once healed, implants feel like natural teeth—no discomfort, no dietary restrictions.
- Simple Care: Maintain your implants just like real teeth—with regular brushing and flossing. No need to worry about slipping dentures or special cleaning routines.
- Supports Oral Health: Implants help prevent bone loss, reduce gum irritation, and lower the risk of decay and periodontal disease, while also preserving your jaw structure.
- Durability: Designed to be long-lasting, implants are a smart, reliable investment in your dental health.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots, made of titanium, that securely anchor dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Each implant is topped with a custom crown, restoring both the look and function of your missing tooth. At Dennis Dental Care, we offer same-day crown placement for added convenience and efficiency.

Preparing for Dental Implants
Before proceeding with dental implants, some patients may require preparatory procedures to ensure optimal results. Your dentist may recommend one or more of the following:
- Bone Graft
- Gum Graft
- Socket Preservation
Cost of Dental Implants
The cost of dental implants varies depending on several factors, such as:
- The amount, quality, and location of the jawbone (bone grafting may increase overall costs).
- The number of teeth being replaced and the type of implant used.
- Insurance coverage—some plans may cover part of the treatment or have a waiting period.
