Dental Implants

A replacement root that behaves like the real thing

A dental implant is a small titanium post that takes the place of a missing tooth's root. Once it fuses to the bone, it anchors a crown that looks, feels, and chews like a natural tooth, and it does something a bridge cannot: it keeps the jawbone alive.

• Planned in 3D before we begin
• Guided placement to the millimeter
• Crowns matched to your natural teeth
• Sedation options for every visit

Why an implant, and not a bridge

When a tooth is lost, the bone that once held it slowly resorbs, the neighboring teeth drift, and the face can subtly change. A traditional bridge covers the gap but relies on grinding down two healthy neighbors and does nothing for the bone underneath. An implant stands on its own, preserves the bone by loading it the way a real root would, and leaves the teeth on either side untouched.

That independence is why a well-placed implant is the closest thing modern dentistry has to giving you your tooth back. Cared for like a natural tooth, it is built to last decades rather than years.

How we plan and place yours

Every implant here starts on a CBCT scan that renders your jaw in three dimensions, showing us the exact bone volume and the position of nerves and sinuses. We design the implant's depth and angle digitally, then print a surgical guide so the placement on the day matches the plan precisely. There is no freehand judgment in the moment and no guesswork.

Placement itself is usually quicker and calmer than patients expect, with the sedation of your choice. Dr. Sarratt reviews the whole plan with you first, so you understand every step and every cost before we start.
