Exceptionally Lifelike Replacement Teeth
As realistic as today’s dental bridges and dentures are, they don’t hold a candle to the effortless feel of your natural teeth. Only one tooth replacement does: dental implants. They bring back every part of the missing tooth, which is impossible with other solutions. If you’d like to replace your lost teeth, you’ll be happy to know that Dr. Singh can perform the entire dental implant treatment in-house. Contact us to set up your consultation!

What Are Dental Implants?
While other tooth replacements focus solely on the visible part of your smile, dental implants recreate the roots of your teeth, which are hidden below your gum line. The implant itself is a tiny, screw-shaped post made from titanium, which naturally fuses with your jawbone after Dr. Singh has surgically placed it there. Then, he attaches a crown, bridge, or denture on top, completing the visual portion of your smile.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
The dental implant process is different for everyone, but it’s usually divided into four steps:
- Consultation – Dr. Singh must examine your mouth and determine whether you’re a candidate.
- Dental implant surgery – Dr. Singh can complete the surgical placement of your implants in our office.
- Osseointegration – This is the months-long process of your jawbone fusing with the implant posts.
- Restoration – You’ll return to our office to have your custom restoration secured into place.
Benefits of Dental Implants
As a result of their comprehensive structure, dental implants can improve your life in more ways than you might have thought. They offer several benefits unattainable with traditional treatments, such as:
- A success rate of over 95%
- The potential to last for 30+ years with very little maintenance
- Preventing your jawbone from deteriorating
- Looking and feeling natural
- Always staying in place
- Restoring your biting and chewing power
Who Dental Implants Can Help
There’s a good chance you’re a viable candidate for dental implants if you have a generally healthy mouth and body, are dedicated to maintaining good oral hygiene habits, and have a dense enough jawbone to support the implant posts. As long as you meet these qualifications, there’s no limit to the number of teeth that Dr. Singh can replace with dental implants.
Missing One Tooth
A single tooth can be replaced by positioning one implant post into the gap and then attaching a dental crown on top of it. The implant and crown are both self-supporting, meaning we don’t need to modify your surrounding teeth like we would if we were placing a dental bridge.
Missing Multiple Teeth
To close the gap between several missing teeth, we can place a dental implant at either end and secure a bridge on top. Not only is an implant bridge more cost-effective than replacing each tooth with its own implant, but we can leave all of your remaining natural teeth intact.
Missing All Teeth
When an entire arch of teeth is missing, our team can place between four and six implant posts along the jawbone before securing a custom-made denture. This allows for a more stable and functional prosthetic that doesn’t slip while eating or speaking.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
Each treatment plan is uniquely complex, making it impossible for us to provide a universal cost of dental implants. The number of posts, type of restoration, and any preliminary procedures can all impact the final price of treatment. Our team will review these factors and go over your payment options, including our in-house dental plan. Also, because dental implants can potentially last for the rest of your life, they’re a smarter long-term investment.
