Restore Your Smile from the Root

Dental implants are the most advanced and long-lasting solution available today for replacing missing teeth. Implants are titanium screws placed into the jawbone that mimic natural tooth roots. These structures provide a solid foundation for the porcelain or zirconium teeth that will be placed on top.

Unlike traditional bridges, implant treatment does not require cutting down adjacent healthy teeth. It prevents bone loss and restores your ability to bite, chew, and speak just like you would with your natural teeth.

The Implant Treatment Process

At Gem Dental, the implant process begins with meticulous planning:

First, your jaw structure is examined using panoramic X-rays and 3D tomography. The implant (titanium screw) is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia in a completely pain-free procedure. This process typically takes 15-30 minutes.

A period of 2-3 months is generally required for the implant to fuse with the bone (osseointegration). Once this period is complete, a gingival former is placed, followed by your custom-made aesthetic porcelain or zirconium tooth.

Who is a Candidate for Implants?

Implant treatment is suitable for most adults with good general health and completed jawbone development. It is especially ideal for:

Those who have lost a single tooth and do not want adjacent teeth touched.
Those with multiple missing teeth.
Those with total tooth loss who do not want to use removable dentures (All-on-4/6).
Those wishing to prevent jawbone deterioration.
