What Is Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone, where it integrates with your natural bone to create a permanent foundation. A custom ceramic restoration is then attached — resulting in a tooth that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing.
Candidacy
Who Is This For?
Good Candidates
Best for patients with one or more missing teeth who want a permanent, natural-feeling solution. Also ideal for those who have struggled with uncomfortable dentures or bridges.
Not Recommended For
Not recommended for patients with insufficient bone density without prior bone grafting, uncontrolled diabetes, or heavy smoking habits. A comprehensive evaluation determines candidacy.
Process
What to Expect
Comprehensive Evaluation
We perform a thorough examination including 3D cone-beam CT imaging to assess bone density, nerve location, and sinus position. Dr. Sands creates your customized surgical plan.
Implant Placement
The titanium implant is precisely placed into the jawbone under comfortable anesthesia. The procedure is typically completed in under an hour per implant.
Osseointegration & Healing
Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. A temporary restoration maintains your smile during healing.
Custom Restoration
Once integration is confirmed, a custom ceramic crown is fabricated and attached to the implant. The result is a permanent, natural-looking tooth restoration.
