We conduct a detailed exam and digital imaging to assess your oral health and ensure your jawbone is ready for implant placement.
A small titanium post is carefully inserted into your jawbone. This post will act as a secure root for your future tooth restoration.
Over the next several weeks, your implant will naturally fuse with your jawbone (osseointegration), providing a strong foundation.
Once healing is complete, we place a custom-made crown (or bridge/denture), giving you a fully restored, functional, and natural-looking tooth.
Dental implants are permanent prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they integrate over time to provide unmatched stability.
The result? A tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth - allowing you to smile, eat, and speak with complete confidence.
Dental implants offer numerous advantages, including:
Strong, stable bite - chew your favorite foods with ease
Natural appearance - blends seamlessly with your smile
Improved speech - no slipping or clicking
Preserves jawbone - prevents bone loss
Long-lasting durability - implants can last a lifetime with proper care
Convenience - no adhesives, no soaking - brush and floss like natural teeth
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. To qualify, you should have:
Healthy gums
Adequate jawbone density
A commitment to good oral hygiene
At Nova Dental, we perform a thorough evaluation - including digital X-rays - to determine your eligibility.
If needed, we may recommend additional treatments (such as bone grafting or gum therapy) to prepare you for successful implant placement.
Certain medical conditions (such as diabetes or heart disease) do not automatically rule out implants - but proper management is important for the best outcome.
First Visit - Implant Placement
After a complete evaluation, we numb the area and carefully place the titanium implant post into your jawbone. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and any necessary medications.
Healing Period - 3 to 4 Months
During this time, your implant will integrate with your jawbone, providing a strong, lasting foundation for your new tooth.
Second Visit - Impressions
Once healing is complete, we take precise digital impressions to create your custom crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture.
Final Visit - Restoration Placement
Your new restoration is securely attached to the implant post. The result? A fully functional, beautiful smile that looks and feels completely natural — with no downtime required after this visit.
