What an implant is

A dental implant is a small titanium post that sits in your jawbone where the tooth root used to be. Once it heals, a natural-looking crown attaches on top. Implants can also hold a bridge or anchor a denture so it doesn't slip.

Why people choose implants

  • They look and feel like natural teeth
  • No need to reshape the teeth next to the gap
  • They help keep the jawbone healthy
  • Implant-supported dentures stay put when you eat and talk

How it works

It starts with an exam and X-rays to see if an implant is right for you. Dr. Keven Freeman will walk you through each step, the timeline and the cost before anything begins. Healing usually takes a few months before the final crown goes on.

Common questions.

Am I a candidate for a dental implant?

Most healthy adults with a missing tooth are. We'll check your gums and bone with an exam and X-rays.

How long do implants last?

With good home care and regular checkups, implants can last for many years.

Does getting an implant hurt?

The area is numbed, and most people say it's easier than they expected. Some soreness for a few days is normal.

Can implants hold my dentures in place?

Yes. Implant-supported dentures snap onto implants so they don't slip. See dentures.
