Imagine the joy of biting into your favorite foods without hesitation, the freedom to smile widely without self-consciousness, and the renewed sense of self-assurance that comes from a complete, healthy set of teeth.

Reclaiming your confident smile has never been more attainable. Dental implants offer a permanent, seamless restoration that blends effortlessly with your natural teeth. Dental implants don't just replace missing teeth; they revitalize your quality of life, restoring your smile's form and function.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a viable option for many people, but not everyone is a candidate. You must meet the following criteria to qualify:

  • You should be in good general health.
  • You should be free of tooth decay or gum disease.
  • You should have good jawbone density or be willing to undergo a bone graft.
  • You should have a fully developed face and jaw.
  • You should be willing to commit to the process.

The Procedure: What to Expect

At Moore Smiles, we can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch with dental implants. Here’s the dental implant process you can expect:

  • Consultation — First, we will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums and decide if you’re a good candidate for implant surgery.
  • Treatment planning — Next, we will use advanced imaging to customize a treatment plan. We’ll precisely plan both implant placement and design your dental restoration.
  • Implant placement — Once you approve the treatment plan, we will surgically place the dental implants into your jaw. They will need several months to integrate with your jawbone.
  • Restoration placement — We’ll add your custom restoration once your implants heal. For a single tooth, we use a custom crown. For multiple teeth, we attach a dental bridge. For an entire arch, we create an upper or lower denture.
