Dental Implants

A dental implant is a small titanium post that serves as the substitute for the root of the tooth. It fuses to the jawbone and is fitted with a crown, a replacement tooth designed to match the color of your natural teeth. A dental implant can be used to replace one, two, or a full arch of missing teeth.

Since dental implants are fused into the jawbone, they offer stability and long-term support. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants don’t slip, slide, or click when you talk, chew, or speak. They are designed to look and function like your natural teeth, and they help maintain oral health by preventing bone loss and preserving adjacent teeth.

Typically, people with missing teeth and have good oral health are the best candidates for dental implants. To determine if you’re fit to do the procedure, a consultation with one of our specialist oral surgeons or implantologists is necessary. During this assessment, we'll evaluate your gum health, the condition of your jawbone, and overall oral health.

Dental implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia ensuring that you don’t feel any pain during your procedure. We will provide you with post-operative care instructions to help minimize discomfort and promote a smooth recovery process after your surgery. Most patients report that any discomfort is manageable and usually subsides within a few days.

The success and longevity of dental implants rely on meticulous planning, precise placement, and comprehensive post-operative care. For best results, it is important that you choose a dental specialist with advanced training and proven expertise in implantology to minimize complications and achieve a long-lasting, healthy smile.

At Drs. Nicolas & Asp Centers, our Specialist Oral Surgeons, Periodontists, and Implantologists have all undergone three additional years of specialized postgraduate training. Their practice is exclusively dedicated to oral surgeries and all types of implant placements.

When placed by the right oral surgeon and with good oral care and regular check-ups, your dental implants can last for decades.

Caring for your dental implants is similar to maintaining your natural teeth. Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, and clean between your teeth every day using a floss, an interdental brush, or a water flosser. Visit your hygienist and dentist every six months to prevent any problems that may affect your oral health.

Every patient is unique, and no treatments are exactly alike. The cost of your implant treatment will depend on a few factors such as the type of treatment, the number of implants needed, the complexity of the procedure, and any additional treatments required. After consulting with one of our oral surgeons, we will provide you with a detailed breakdown of your treatment plan's cost.

We accept most insurance cards for direct billing of all approved dental services. Where no direct settlement facility is available, we will assist you in processing the required documentation to help you file a claim. If you would like assistance in checking your coverage, please give us a call.
