Book AppointmentWhat Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Over several months, the implant fuses with your bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture. Unlike traditional bridges or removable dentures, implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and actually help preserve your jawbone by stimulating it the way natural roots do. Once restored with a crown, an implant becomes a permanent part of your smile that you care for just like your other teeth.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Implants provide advantages that no other tooth replacement option can match.
Permanent Solution
Because implants fuse with your bone, they stay securely in place and can last a lifetime with proper care.
Jawbone Preservation
The implant post stimulates your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically follows tooth extraction.
Safekeeping of Adjacent Teeth
Unlike bridges, implants stand independently and do not require altering or relying on neighboring teeth for support.
Our Comprehensive Dental Implants Process
Thorough Evaluation
Dr. Kim examines your mouth, reviews digital X-rays and scans, and assesses your bone density to determine if implants are right for you.
Surgical Placement
The implant post is precisely positioned in your jawbone, and a healing period allows it to integrate fully before restoration.
Custom Restoration
Once healed, we attach a beautiful, custom-crafted crown to your implant using our advanced Itero scanner for a perfect fit.
Are Dental Implants Right For You?
Implants are an excellent choice for adults in good overall health who have lost one or more teeth and want a permanent replacement. Adequate jawbone density is essential to support the implant, though bone grafting can sometimes address deficiencies. Ideal candidates are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental visits. If you have uncontrolled diabetes, are undergoing certain medical treatments, or smoke heavily, additional considerations may apply. Dr. Kim will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and discuss whether implants align with your health, goals, and lifestyle.

How much do dental implants cost?
The investment varies based on how many implants you need and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are required. Contact our office for a personalized estimate, and ask about payment plans through Cherry to help make treatment affordable.
How long does the dental implant process take?
From placement to final restoration, the process typically takes three to six months to allow for proper healing and bone integration. Dr. Kim will provide a timeline tailored to your specific situation.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Some PPO dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for implants, though benefits vary widely. We accept major PPO plans and can help you understand what portion of your treatment may be covered.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report less discomfort than expected. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, and any post-surgical soreness is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and subsides within a few days.
