Do You Have Missing or Broken Teeth?
Does any of the following relate to you??
- You Have Dentures but HATE wearing them. Maybe they slide around, maybe you are tired of not being able to taste the food, or are tired of worrying about your dentures falling out around other people.
- You are EMBARRASSED TO SMILE in Public. Whether you have missing or broken teeth or have simply have had several crowns done over several years by several dentists that aren't the same shape, size, or color.
- You have Lost 1-2 Teeth over time. It's harder to chew the foods you love, and you think about smiling in public or in photos.
- You are in constant pain, having a hard time chewing from old crowns, fillings, and teeth that are breaking down and falling apart.
If so, I understand how embarrassing it is to have missing or broken teeth. You're extremely self-conscious when you speak, smile, or laugh, and it hurts your self-confidence. Plus, you would do anything to be able to chew on a steak, bite an apple, or eat normal foods again.
The GOOD NEWS IS THAT: You can FINALLY have a mouth full of teeth that look and feel natural and can turn back the clock on your teeth and get your smile and confidence back.
We have helped many patients get rid of the embarrassment of having missing or broken teeth thanks to dental implants. This procedure replaces a missing tooth with an artificial tooth that is much stronger than a dental crown.
The best part is that these artificial teeth look just like your natural teeth – nobody will even know you had the procedure done! And the implant could last a lifetime when properly maintained with adequate brushing and flossing.
That means you can live the rest of your life without having to be shy about smiling or embarrassed that you have missing or broken teeth. If you are missing multiple teeth, we have options for replacing several, most, or even all your teeth across 4-6 dental implants – giving you a fresh start and a second chance at having beautiful, strong, natural-looking teeth again.
At your initial consultation, you will get a chance to meet our team and discuss all your treatment options, including sedation options so you can be sure to be completely comfortable with even little to no memory of the procedure itself. We will also discuss flexible and convenient payment options, and some procedures may be covered by your insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants are the best available treatment to replace a missing tooth. Average costs range from $3,000 to $5,000 depending on complexity. Dental implants are the nicest looking, longest lasting, strongest, and safest option. You can smile, eat, and chew just like with a natural tooth. In fact, having an implant is the next best thing to re-growing your own tooth.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
While the placement of a dental implant is typically only a 20-minute procedure, the body still has to heal afterward. Most patients are able to resume all normal activities the next day, with many able to return to work the same day the implant is placed. Depending on the condition of the bone, the implant will need to heal 12-16 weeks before a tooth can be attached to it.
Since the implant is inserted into the gum and jaw bone, there will certainly be some tenderness and sensitivity right after the surgery. The surrounding area might be slightly swollen and mild bleeding or bruising can occur the first couple of days after surgery. This is usually minimal, and typically only affects patients on certain medications or requiring much more extensive surgical procedures.
Immediately following the procedure, a gauze pack will be firmly held in place over the dental implant to reduce bleeding. It is important to keep this pack on for about 30 minutes or until the bleeding stops.
Holding an icepack or cold compress to any swollen areas can provide some relief. Over-the-counter medications such as Advil are very helpful in controlling swelling and discomfort, and your dentist may also give you prescription medications. Take it easy for the first few days after the procedure and rest as much as possible to promote quicker healing.
As well as the number of implants you need, several other factors might influence how long your treatment will take. These factors include:
-The location of your implants in your mouth
-Whether or not you require bone grafting. This surgical procedure will help to build up the bone in your jaw if you don’t have enough bone density naturally to support your implants.
-The level of infection if you have required tooth removal due to decay
These steps need to happen if you need to build bone density or clear an infection before you can get your implants fitted.
