What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the best long-term solution to missing teeth because they preserve your jawbone density. The custom-made crowns are carefully crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, ensuring an aesthetic blend with your smile. Moreover, because dental implants are anchored in your jawbone, they provide similar biting and chewing capabilities as your natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without worry.

At Sunrise Oral Surgery, you can expect to meet with one of our doctors during a free consultation that has looked at your x-rays to see if you’re a candidate for dental implants. He/she will give you a customized treatment plan and will take time to answer your questions and concerns. You’ll be treated by a doctor that specializes in oral surgery procedures, specifically dental implants. From there, we will work hand-in-hand with a restorative doctor, ensuring a seamless transition. They’ll be able to make you a crown that is carefully crafted to blend in with your existing teeth. Most importantly, you can expect to eat and chew the foods you love eating and to smile with confidence again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Who Is A Candidate For Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a versatile solution for individuals with missing teeth, but not everyone is an ideal candidate. Our skilled oral surgeons and doctors will assess your oral health, bone density, and overall medical history during your free consultation to determine your suitability for dental implants. Generally, candidates should have good oral hygiene, sufficient bone structure, and overall health. Even if you’ve been told you’re not a candidate in the past, advances in implant dentistry may now make this option available to you.
How Long Does The Dental Implant Procedure Take?
The duration of the dental implant procedure can vary based on individual factors, such as the number of implants needed, the condition of your jawbone, and your overall health. On average, the overall process can take several months, involving implant placement, osseointegration (the fusion of the implant with your bone), and the attachment of the final crown. However, the result is well worth the time investment, as you’ll enjoy a strong, natural-looking smile that functions just like your original teeth.
Are Dental Implants Permanent?
One of the most significant advantages of dental implants is that they preserve your jawbone. When you’re missing your teeth, your jawbone starts to shrink. Unlike some other tooth replacement options like dentures, bridges, and flippers, dental implants are designed to preserve your jawbone and last a lifetime with proper care. They consist of three main components: the implant, the abutment, and the crown. The implant is a titanium post that fuses with your jawbone, creating a stable foundation for your replacement tooth. This integration with the bone ensures longevity, making dental implants a lasting investment in your oral health and jawbone.
What Is The Cost Of Dental Implant Surgery?
The cost of dental implant surgery can vary depending on several factors, including the number of implants required, any necessary preliminary procedures (like bone grafting and extractions). We are also contracted with almost all PPO insurances so we will do everything we can to help you maximize your benefits from insurance to make the procedure more affordable. During your free consultation at Sunrise Oral Surgery, we’ll provide you with a personalized treatment plan and a clear breakdown of the costs involved. But to give a general range, the cost for placing a dental implant is typically $2,000-3,000 or $40-60/mo in monthly payments. While dental implants may require an initial investment, their durability and natural appearance make them a valuable long-term solution.
