Dental implants
A long-lasting way to replace missing teeth that looks, feels and works like your own.
What is a dental implant?
An implant is a small post placed in the jawbone where a tooth is missing. Once it heals, it holds a crown, bridge or denture firmly in place. Because it's anchored like a natural tooth root, there's nothing to slip or remove.
Who implants can help
- People missing one tooth who don't want to grind down neighboring teeth for a bridge
- People missing several teeth in a row
- Denture wearers who want a more secure fit
Not everyone is a good fit right away. Dr. Pecson will check your bone and gum health first and talk through every option, including alternatives to implants.
Options we offer
- Single-tooth implants with a crown
- Implant-supported bridges
- Implant-supported dentures
What to expect
- Consultation. An exam and x-rays to see if implants are right for you, and a clear plan for your treatment.
- Placement. The implant is placed, then given time to bond with the bone, usually a few months.
- Your new tooth. A custom crown, bridge or denture is attached to the implant.
