What are dental implants?

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, and at Smiles Made Perfect Dental Partners, they're one of our most frequently performed treatments. An implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time to create a stable, permanent foundation for a natural-looking crown, bridge, or full arch restoration. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants replace the root of the tooth, which means they preserve the jawbone, maintain the structure of your face, and function just like your natural teeth. We offer everything from single tooth implants to full arch restorations entirely in-house, and we also perform the supporting procedures many patients need along the way, including bone grafts and extractions. If you're not sure whether you're a candidate, we offer free implant consultations so you can get honest answers and a clear picture of your options before committing to anything. The entire process from extractions, if needed, to full implant restoration can take anywhere from three to six months, and we have a great plan for temporary help during that transition time so you're never without a smile.

Single tooth implants

A single tooth implant is the most conservative and effective way to replace an individual missing tooth without affecting the healthy teeth on either side. The process involves placing a titanium implant post into the jawbone, allowing it to fuse with the bone during a healing period, and then attaching a custom-made crown that is matched to the size, shape, and shade of your surrounding teeth. The result looks, feels, and functions like a completely natural tooth. Single tooth implants are one of our most routinely offered services, and our providers are experienced in guiding patients through every stage of the process comfortably and confidently.

Full arch implants

Full arch implants

For patients who are missing all or most of their teeth in one or both arches, full arch implant restorations offer a permanent, stable solution that outperforms traditional dentures in almost every way. Rather than resting on the gums, a full arch restoration is anchored by a series of strategically placed implant posts, creating a fixed set of teeth that won't slip, shift, or require removal. Our team performs full arch implant placements and restorations routinely, and for patients who need additional support before placement, we also offer bone grafting to ensure there is adequate bone to support the implants. If you've been living with missing teeth or struggling with dentures, a full arch implant restoration can be genuinely life-changing.

Implant restorations

Implant restorations

If you already have an implant post in place, or if you've had implant surgery elsewhere and need the restoration completed, our team can help. An implant restoration involves the crown, bridge, or prosthetic that attaches to the implant post and serves as the visible, functional tooth above the gumline. We craft our restorations to blend seamlessly with your natural smile, and our providers will make sure the fit, bite, and appearance all meet your expectations before your treatment is finalized.

Implant maintenance

Implant maintenance

Dental implants require regular care to stay healthy and perform well for the long term. Our team offers dedicated implant maintenance visits to monitor the health of your implant, the surrounding gum tissue, and the bone that supports it, catching any early concerns before they become bigger problems. Keeping up with routine implant maintenance is one of the most important things you can do to protect your investment and ensure your implants last as long as possible.

Bone grafting

Bone grafting

A strong, healthy jawbone is the foundation of a successful implant, and not every patient has sufficient bone density at the implant site when they first come in. Bone grafting is a procedure that rebuilds or augments the jawbone to create the volume and density needed to support an implant securely. We perform bone grafts routinely as part of our implant process, and your provider will let you know during your consultation whether a graft is recommended in your case and what that means for your overall timeline.

The dental implant process

1

Your free implant consultation

Every implant journey at Smiles Made Perfect begins with a free consultation, where your provider will evaluate your oral health, review your bone density, and talk through your goals and your options. This is also when we'll discuss the full timeline, what to expect at each stage, and how we'll keep you comfortable throughout the process. If extractions or bone grafting are needed before placement, we'll factor those into your personalized treatment plan so you have a clear picture from the very start.

2

Implant placement and healing

Once your treatment plan is in place, your provider will surgically place the titanium implant post into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth or teeth. Sedation options including laughing gas and oral conscious sedation are available to keep you comfortable during the procedure, and we have a dedicated conscious sedation room for more involved cases. After placement, the implant will need time to fuse with the bone through a natural process called osseointegration, and we'll provide you with temporary restorations during this healing period so you're never without a functional, natural-looking smile.

3

Your final restoration and long-term care

Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, your provider will attach your custom-made crown, bridge, or full arch restoration for a result that looks and feels completely natural. We'll check the fit, function, and aesthetics carefully before your treatment is complete and schedule any follow-up visits to make sure everything is healing well. From there, routine maintenance visits and good at-home hygiene are all you need to keep your implants performing beautifully for years to come.
