Dental Implants

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone, where it acts as an artificial tooth root. Once it has bonded with the surrounding bone, it provides a stable foundation for a custom-matched crown — or, for patients missing several teeth, a bridge or denture.

Why Patients Choose Implants

• Look, feel, and function like a natural tooth.
• Help preserve the jawbone, which can otherwise shrink after tooth loss.
• Don't require altering the healthy teeth next to the gap, unlike a traditional bridge.
• Are built to last with routine care and regular cleanings.

What to Expect

We start with a thorough exam and imaging using our CBCT scanner to map your jawbone and plan the implant's placement precisely. Depending on your case, healing time before the final restoration is placed typically runs a few months, giving the implant time to fully integrate with the bone. Throughout the process, we walk you through each step so there are no surprises.

Is an Implant Right for You?

Implants work well for most adults with sufficient jawbone density and healthy gums. During your consultation, Dr. Adedeji will review your dental and health history and discuss whether an implant, a fixed bridge, or a removable option is the best fit for your smile and your budget.
