When dental implants are placed, you will be able to once again have confidence around friends and family. You can smile without being self-conscious. You can eat more comfortably and regain your youthful appearance by having a complete, beautiful smile!

With proper care and upkeep, your dental implant is made to last a lifetime!

Yes, the implant is matched to the color of your natural, surrounding teeth to help them look completely natural. The implant should blend well with your other teeth, helping you have a complete, beautiful smile.

The implant process is completed over 3 appointments, this can take a few months from start to finish. During the first appointment, Dr. Nolan will place anchors where the tooth is missing. These anchors can take time to fuse with your jawbone to create a solid foundation. At the second appointment, titanium posts will be placed on top of the anchors. Lastly, at your final appointment, a crown that has been molded to fit in place of your missing tooth will be placed on top of the posts. Although this process can take a few months, the end results are worth it!

As opposed to dentures, implants will last longer, are more comfortable and have a more natural appearance. Patients are choosing implants over dentures because of their durability, comfort and ability to look like your natural teeth.
