What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root. Over time, it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Dental implants can replace:
- A single missing tooth
- Several teeth with a bridge
- All upper or lower teeth with a full-arch prosthesis
Compared to other tooth replacement options, implants offer superior strength, longevity, and bone preservation.
Types of Dental Implants We Offer
Single Tooth Implants
Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth. A custom crown is attached to the implant for a seamless look and feel.
Mini Dental Implants
Smaller in diameter and less invasive to place, mini implants are ideal for patients with limited bone density or those needing denture stabilization. They are often placed in one visit with minimal healing time.
All-on-X (Full-Arch Implants)
All-on-X refers to a full arch of teeth supported by as few as four to six strategically placed implants. It’s a secure, life-changing option for patients missing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
Not sure which option is right for you? Dr. Zhong will evaluate your jaw structure, smile goals, and oral health to design a plan tailored to your needs.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Permanent, secure solution—no slipping or adhesives
- Preserves jawbone and prevents facial collapse
- Allows normal chewing and speaking
- Maintains spacing and alignment of remaining teeth
- Can last decades with proper care
Dental implants are often part of larger restorative treatment plans, such as full mouth reconstruction or ridge augmentation when additional support is needed.
The Dental Implant Process
- Consultation and Digital Planning
We begin with 3D imaging and a full evaluation to determine your candidacy and design your custom implant plan. - Implant Placement
The titanium implant is placed into the jawbone. Healing typically takes a few months, during which the implant integrates with the bone. - Abutment and Restoration
Once healed, we attach an abutment and secure your custom crown, bridge, or denture. - Follow-Up and Maintenance
We provide long-term monitoring, cleanings, and guidance to protect your implant investment.
In select cases, same-day implant placement may be possible using advanced protocols and digital guidance.
FAQs About Dental Implants
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, implants can last 20+ years or more. They’re considered the most durable tooth replacement option available.
Is the implant procedure painful?
No. Local anesthesia is used during surgery, and most patients report minimal discomfort afterward, similar to a tooth extraction.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone are candidates. We also offer mini implants and bone grafting to expand eligibility.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are essential. Implants don’t decay, but they can be affected by gum disease if not properly maintained.
Are implants covered by insurance?
Coverage varies. We offer CareCredit and Sunbit financing, and our Prime Smile Club provides savings on cleanings, exams, and other treatments to support your investment.
