Did You Know?
Tooth Loss Can Change Your Face
When you lose teeth, your jawbone slowly shrinks over time—a process called bone resorption. This shrinking bone structure can lead to noticeable changes in your facial shape, causing you to look older than you actually are.
​
Dental implants actively stimulate your jawbone, helping maintain its strength and shape. They're not just a solution—they're an investment in your long-term oral health and youthful appearance.

Your Guide to Denture and Implant Options
Navigating the world of dental options can be overwhelming, especially when considering the best methods for replacing teeth to enhance both eating and speaking capabilities. From conventional to implant-supported solutions like snap-in dentures, the cost and effectiveness vary. Implant-supported dentures, for instance, offer a more natural feel, significantly aiding in eating and speaking, and often feature a horseshoe shape for comfort. Whether you're exploring snap-in dentures cost or palateless dentures benefits, remember that every choice impacts your daily comfort and functionality. Explore our options to find the perfect fit for your lifestyle and dental health needs, ensuring your dentures support both eating and speaking seamlessly.
WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
A dental implant is a titanium screw that serves as the foundation to replace a tooth or teeth. Implant and denture solutions integrate seamlessly, offering a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics.
There are 3 parts to a dental implant:
-
Implant post (or body) - this is the foundation. It is placed in the jaw and acts as anchor.
-
Abutment - this piece connects the implant post and crown
-
Crown - this is the visible portion in the mouth. This could also be an implant bridge across multiple implants.
HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?

Attach crown and abutment to implant body
After being thoroughly numbed, the implant body (the titanium screw) is surgically placed in your jaw. The implant body is made of surgical-grade titanium (the same material used in hip and knee replacements), which means your bone will fuse with it over a 4-6 month period (a process known as osseointegration).
Once the dental implant is properly integrated, we will take impressions to have your abutment and crown fabricated. The crown is the part of the implant tooth that you actually see in the mouth and the abutment is the support piece that connects the crown to the implant body.
