A missing tooth doesn't just leave a gap — the jawbone underneath starts losing density within months, and neighboring teeth begin drifting toward the open space. Because an implant fuses into the bone through osseointegration, it does something a bridge can't: it gives the jaw something to hold onto again.
Every case we route starts with 3D imaging, so the surgical plan is built around your actual bone structure, not a guess. Grafting or a sinus lift, when needed, gets scoped out at the planning stage so there's no mid-procedure surprise.
Full healing before the permanent crown goes on typically takes three to six months while the implant integrates with the bone. Most patients aren't left with a visible gap during that stretch, since a temporary tooth usually covers it.
Placement is handled by providers with focused surgical training in implant dentistry specifically.
Cone-beam CT scans map your jaw in three dimensions before a surgical guide is ever built.
You get pricing for consultation, placement, healing, and the final crown as separate line items before you commit.
Sinus lifts and bone grafts are available on-site at several partner offices, cutting a step out of the process.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
Replaces a single missing tooth root and crown together, built to blend rather than stand out.

Designed for patients missing most or all teeth in one jaw who want a fixed, non-removable result.
Loose dentures get snapped onto two to four implants for a fit that doesn't shift when you eat.
Prepares thin bone so it can properly hold an implant post long-term.

Most cases run three to six months total, mostly waiting on the bone to fuse before the crown is attached.
The procedure itself isn't painful thanks to anesthesia; mild soreness afterward responds to standard pain relief.
Grafting or a sinus lift can often build up enough volume, which gets evaluated during your imaging appointment.
Pricing varies with the number of implants and any bone work required, confirmed before you commit to anything.
A bridge depends on neighboring teeth for support, while an implant stands on its own.
