Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement

If you need to restore missing teeth, dental implants might be the answer. No matter how a tooth was lost – dental extraction, disease, accident – a dental implant can fill the empty space to restore your smile. Because they’re surgically implanted, these artificial teeth won’t slip or cause discomfort – they’re permanent replacements that look and function just like your natural teeth. The best part? Most implants can be completed in just 2-3 appointments with our highly experienced dentists.

 

“Great care, friendly staff. They are making sure there is no unneeded work done and help you save money. I have jaw issues and they have been very accommodating with my issues. Very professional and very polite. I would recommend them anytime.”

Dental Implants FAQ

What are dental implants?

  • Replacement teeth or artificial teeth

    • They fill in spaces where you've lost a tooth and are surgically implanted and fused to your jawbone for maximum support.

  • Unlike other artificial teeth, you can’t remove dental implants, meaning no discomfort caused by slipping.

  • During your initial consultation with Dr. Crowley or Dr. Iachini will determine which type of dental implant is right for you.

  • We provide 1 type of of dental implants:

What determines whether I'm a candidate for dental implants?

  • Good oral health is a basic requirement for dental implants.

    • Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are key to maintaining healthy gums. In addition to good oral health, your bones must be strong enough to support the implants.

  • An implant mounted to a weak bone can cause serious problems and may not hold in the long run.

  • After you have artificial teeth implanted, you must continue your dental hygiene to maintain artificial teeth just like you would your own.

How much do dental implants cost?

  • Because they are permanent replacement teeth, implants are more costly than a bridge or dentures, but they’re also more comfortable.

  • The cost of your dental implants may vary, based on:

    • The type of implant you need

    • Whether the implant can be completed in 1-2 office visits

    • The number of teeth being replaced
