Single Tooth Dental Implants

One dental implant with a crown replaces a single tooth. We will insert a tiny sliver of biocompatible titanium into your jawbone and cap it with a cover screw or a healing cap. Over the next several months, the implant will fuse with the bone. We will then remove the cover and attach a high-quality, customized crown to the implant with a piece known as an abutment.

Dental Implant Supported Bridges

An implant-supported bridge is an excellent option for those missing three or more teeth in a row. Rather than sacrificing a healthy structure to anchor the bridge on the adjacent teeth, we will secure both ends to dental implants for highly functional and aesthetic restoration and longevity.

Dental Implant Supported Dentures

We can stabilize a removable denture with just two dental implants, or use a handful of implants to permanently attach a full arch of fixed teeth that never leave your mouth. While traditional dentures restore just a small portion of bite strength and tend to slip and pinch, implant-supported dentures allow you to bite and chew normally.

X-Guide Navigation System

We will create a 3-D model of your mouth and then complete your implant surgery virtually to design the best possible implant placement and orientation. During your surgery, we will watch the virtual surgery to make sure we match up all the details. This system blends the art and science of dental implants, optimizing function, aesthetics, and longevity.

Strengthen Bone Structure

Unlike traditional dentures, which sit on the gums and contribute to jawbone loss, dental implants fuse with the jawbone, preventing bone loss and providing rock-solid stability. 

Enjoy Healthy Eating

Missing teeth can impact your ability to chew and enjoy your favorite foods. Dental implants restore full functionality, allowing you to eat comfortably and easily.

Preserve Oral Health

By replacing missing teeth and stimulating bone growth, dental implants contribute to long-term oral health and prevent future issues associated with bone loss.

Break Free from Denture Limitations!

Dentures are difficult to use, uncomfortable, and prone to pinching and slipping.  Dental Implants fuse with your jawbone, allowing you to experience rock-solid stability with over 90% restored bite force.  You can talk, smile, laugh, and eat with confidence.

Smile Confidently With Permanent Implants!

Once a tooth is lost, bone loss in the jawbone naturally occurs. This bone loss compromises the integrity of neighboring teeth roots and tooth stability, and is a large part of what causes the "sunken" look seen in people who have lost several teeth. With implants, you can regenerate bone growth and avoid future issues and discomfort that dentures may cause.

Dr. Steel and his office staff were amazing. The staff was courteous and answered any question I had.

They gave excellent directions on taking care of my gums.

I’m recommending this place to both my family and friends.
