What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the most effective method for replacing missing teeth. They are small, titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Implants provide a strong, stable foundation for replacement teeth, restoring both the function and aesthetics of your smile. Whether you're missing one, a few, or all of your natural teeth, our Kois-trained experts combine artistry with advanced techniques to ensure proper occlusion and beautiful, natural-looking results.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Natural Look and Feel
Dental implants closely mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. They are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Durability and Longevity
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are made from high-quality, biocompatible materials that fuse with your jawbone, providing a strong, permanent solution for missing teeth.
Improved Oral Health
Unlike bridges or dentures, dental implants do not require the alteration of adjacent teeth. They also stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving the natural contours of your face.
The Dental Implants Treatment Process
Consultation & Treatment Planning
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan using advanced imaging technology.
Implant Placement
During a surgical procedure, your dentist will place the implant into your jawbone using custom, digitally designed surgical guides for enhanced safety and accuracy. The implant will then fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for your replacement tooth. Because we both place the implant and design and place the custom crown, we can ensure a beautiful and balanced restoration.
Restoration
Once the implant has fully integrated with your jawbone, your dentist will attach a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to the implant, completing your smile restoration.
Dental Implant Options
Single-Tooth Implants
Single-tooth implants are an ideal solution for replacing one missing tooth. A custom-made crown is attached to the implant, providing a natural-looking, fully functional replacement that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Implant-Retained Bridges
Implant-retained bridges replace multiple missing teeth in a row. Unlike traditional bridges, they do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, making them a more conservative and long-lasting solution.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant-retained dentures, also known as snap-on or overdentures, provide a stable, secure solution for those missing multiple teeth. These dentures attach to strategically placed implants, eliminating slippage and restoring your ability to eat and speak with ease. Our doctors have studied the Kois method for all procedures, especially dentures and implant-retained dentures, with a focus on ensuring proper bite function and occlusion.
All-on-X
All-on-X is a revolutionary implant solution that replaces an entire arch of missing teeth using just four to six implants. This treatment offers a fixed, permanent alternative to traditional dentures, providing unparalleled stability and comfort. Our Kois-trained doctors take special care to ensure your new smile is both beautiful and fully functional, so you can enjoy your favorite foods and smile with confidence.
Implant Preparation (Bone Grafting, PRF/PRP, Sinus Augmentations)
In some cases, additional procedures may be necessary to prepare the jawbone for implant placement. Our skilled team offers advanced bone grafting techniques, PRF/PRP therapy, and sinus augmentations to ensure the success of your implant treatment.
