Implants

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a great alternative for natural teeth replacement. Strong and stable, they can restore a lost tooth and can look, feel, fit, and function like a natural tooth.

Who Does Dental Implants?

If you are interested in getting dental implants to replace missing teeth, your dentist can do them for you. The provider may administer antibiotics or nitrous oxide to make sure you are as comfortable as possible.

Typically, a local anesthetic is used around the area of placement to numb the area as well. Placement of dental implants typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour for one implant and a few hours for multiple implants.
