A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. This post creates a strong foundation for a replacement tooth that blends seamlessly with your own teeth.

Many dental insurance plans now offer partial coverage for implants. Our team will help you understand your coverage and discuss financing options to make implants affordable. We also offer payment plans to help manage the investment in your smile.
Yes, implants can replace single teeth, multiple teeth, or even all teeth. Different solutions like implant-supported bridges or full-arch replacements are available based on your needs.

Once your implant fully bonds with the bone (3 to 6 months), you’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite foods again; dental implants restore nearly 100% of your natural biting force.
