Dental implants are made up of small, root-like posts made from biocompatible titanium with a custom-made dental crown on top.

What Happens During the Cosmetic Dental Implant Process?
The best cosmetic dental implants are those that are long-lasting and durable. This means they must be properly installed by expert oral surgeons who follow a proven process to ensure optimal outcomes and utmost patient comfort.
If you have an existing tooth to be removed, your first appointment after your consultation is for extraction.
Then, you must let the empty socket heal for three to six months.
Once healing is complete, we implant the titanium post into your jaw and top it with a temporary dental crown.
Your permanent dental crown will arrive in four to six weeks, and you’ll return to our downtown dental office for quick installation.
