If you have missing or damaged teeth, dental implants are a lifelong restoration solution that’s crafted to look and feel just like your natural teeth. Dental implants eliminate the inconvenience of removable tooth replacements, so they won’t shift out of place. They’re also the only tooth restoration option that stimulates healthy jaw bone growth.

The length of the dental implant process varies depending on each patient’s unique case. During your consultation with Dr. Thomas, he’ll determine how many implants are needed and whether a supplementary procedure is required. Then we’ll be able to give you a more accurate timeline of your individual dental implant process.

Fortunately, dental implants don’t require any additional care than your natural teeth do. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will keep your implants beautiful and strong enough to last for years to come.

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. However, the dental crown that’s placed on the implant will need to be replaced about every 10 to 15 years.

Dr. Thomas wants to make sure dental care is affordable and available to all of our patients. That’s why we accept various forms of dental insurance and offer flexible financing options, including interest-free financing through CareCredit and Springstone.
