Frequently Asked Questions
Our team includes both prosthodontists and oral surgeons, so your entire implant process happens in one place. With nearly 30 years of experience and advanced tools like 3D imaging and the Hybridge implant system, we make it easy to rebuild your smile with lasting, natural results.
Hybridge implants are a permanent solution that replace an entire set of teeth using a few secure implants. Unlike dentures, they don’t shift or require adhesive, and they let you eat and speak with confidence. They also help prevent bone loss and preserve your facial structure, which makes them feel much more like real teeth.
If you’re missing one or more teeth or struggle with loose dentures, there’s a good chance you’re a candidate for dental implants. Most patients with healthy gums and enough bone density qualify, and even if you’ve experienced some bone loss, grafting procedures can often make implants possible.
With good care, dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime. They’re made from titanium, which bonds naturally with your jawbone to form a solid base for your new tooth or bridge. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups will keep them healthy long-term.
Getting dental implants usually happens in a few steps. First, we take digital scans and plan your treatment. Then, your implant is placed and begins to fuse with the bone. Once it’s ready, we attach a custom crown, bridge, or denture. Because we have both oral surgery and prosthodontics specialists in-office, your entire treatment stays under one roof.
The cost of dental implants depends on how many teeth are being replaced and the type of restoration you choose. During your consultation, we’ll review your treatment options, go over costs in detail, and discuss financing or insurance coverage so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.
