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.
Before anyone reaches for a drill, the offices we refer to run a CBCT scan to map bone density and nerve position in three dimensions. 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.
Every implant referral goes to a specialist who places these routinely, not a general dentist doing it occasionally.
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.
One titanium post, one custom crown, shaped and shaded to match the teeth next to it.

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.
Low bone density is common and usually addressable with grafting before or during the implant process.
Cost depends on case complexity and whether grafting is needed, with a written stage-by-stage estimate provided first.
An implant replaces the root directly in the bone; a bridge instead anchors to the natural teeth on either side.
