Dental Implants

The closest thing
to getting your tooth back.

A titanium post that fuses to your jaw, topped with a permanent ceramic crown. Implants don't get cavities, don't slip, and don't require modifying neighboring teeth — and with modern 3D planning, placement is more precise than ever.

The technology

3D planning. Guided placement.

We don't place implants by hand-eye coordination. We place them along a path planned weeks in advance, through a 3D-printed surgical guide that controls angle and depth within fractions of a millimeter.

  • Cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging

    3D x-ray of your jaw bone, nerves, and sinus structures. Up to 90% less radiation than medical CT. You see the same images we do.

  • Computer-guided surgical planning

    The exact angle, depth, and position of your implant is decided in software before any incision. We can simulate the final crown and work backwards from there.

  • Custom 3D-printed surgical guide

    A small jig snaps onto your existing teeth and guides the drill along the planned path. No freehand variability.

  • Premium implant systems

    We use Straumann and Nobel Biocare — the two most-studied systems in the world with the longest track records and broadest parts availability.

  • Same building, start to finish

    Imaging, surgery, healing checks, and the final crown all happen with the same team. No referral handoffs.

3D-printed surgical guide
The timeline

Start to finish, about four to seven months.

  1. Consultation & 3D imaging

    60 min

    We take a cone-beam CT scan to see bone volume and density in three dimensions. You see the same images we do. We discuss alternatives honestly, including whether an implant is the right choice for you right now.

  2. Surgical guide & planning

    Behind the scenes

    Using your scan, we plan the exact angle, depth, and position of the implant in 3D software, then 3D-print a custom surgical guide. The implant goes in exactly where it was planned — within fractions of a millimeter.

  3. Implant placement

    60–90 min

    A small incision, the implant placed through the surgical guide, sutures. Done with local anesthetic or, for nervous patients, oral conscious sedation. Most patients return to work the next day.

  4. Healing & osseointegration

    3–6 months

    The implant fuses to your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. You wear a temporary tooth-replacement (usually a removable flipper or healing abutment) during this period. We see you at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months for check-ins.

  5. Final crown

    2 visits, 2 weeks apart

    Once healed, we scan, design, and place a permanent ceramic crown on top of the implant. From a chewing, smiling, and feeling perspective — it's a tooth again.

Investment

Implant pricing, all-in.

An implant is a significant investment. We give you a complete, written treatment plan with all phases priced before you commit to anything.

  • Implant consultation & 3D CBCT scan Applied toward treatment if you proceed
    $295
  • Single implant (titanium post) Includes surgical guide and placement
    $1,895
  • Abutment (connector piece)
    $485
  • Crown over implant Permanent ceramic crown
    $1,895
  • Total single tooth implant Most patients land here
    $4,275
  • Bone graft (when needed) Determined by 3D scan; some patients need none
    $485 – $1,295
  • Sinus lift (upper molars) Only sometimes necessary
    $1,495 – $2,495

Most medical insurance does not cover implants. Some dental plans contribute toward the crown portion. We offer 0% financing through CareCredit, and we accept payment plans we negotiate directly.

Common questions

The answers most patients ask first.

How long do dental implants last?

Properly placed and maintained, modern titanium implants have 95%+ survival rates at 10 years and 90%+ at 20 years. The implant itself is one of the most durable things in modern medicine. The crown on top usually needs replacement every 15–25 years.

Am I a candidate? I've been told my bone is thin.

Maybe. Bone grafting and sinus lifts can rebuild what's been lost — we routinely place implants in patients who were told elsewhere they couldn't have them. The 3D scan tells us the truth. Sometimes the answer is "not without grafting first," sometimes it's "actually, you're fine," and occasionally it's "a bridge will serve you better here."

Does the surgery hurt?

Less than most people expect. Most patients manage day-of with ibuprofen alone. The most common comment afterward is "that was way easier than my last root canal." Sedation is available at no surprise charge if you want it.

Why does it take so long?

The implant needs to actually fuse to your jawbone — that's what makes it permanent. Rushing osseointegration is the #1 reason for failure. We won't load an implant before it's ready, even if you're ready for the wait to be over. The result is worth it.

What about "All-on-4" or full-arch implants?

We do full-arch implant restorations and refer the most complex full-mouth reconstructions to a trusted local prosthodontist. Whatever your situation, the consultation is honest: we'll tell you whether we're the right team for your case, or whether someone else is.
