Permanent tooth replacement
Dental implants
The most natural-looking, permanent solution for missing teeth, designed to look, feel, and function just like your own.
The gold standard
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Through a natural process called osseointegration, the implant fuses with your bone over several months, creating a strong, stable foundation for replacement teeth.
At Summit Dental, Dr. Sarah Chen uses 3D imaging and guided placement for precise positioning. Whether you're missing a single tooth, several teeth, or need a full-arch restoration, we offer solutions tailored to you: single implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch prosthetics.
With a success rate above 95%, implants are the most reliable, long-lasting option for tooth replacement. Unlike dentures, they don't slip or need adhesives; unlike bridges, they don't require altering healthy neighboring teeth. They're the closest thing to getting your natural teeth back.
Why implants
Advantages nothing else matches
Natural look and feel
Custom crowns match the color, shape, and translucency of your natural teeth, so implants are virtually indistinguishable.
Preserves your jawbone
Implants stimulate the jaw just like natural roots, preventing the bone loss that follows tooth extraction.
Built to last a lifetime
With proper care, implants can last decades. Biocompatible titanium integrates permanently with your bone.
No diet restrictions
Unlike dentures, implants let you eat everything with full biting force, from crunchy apples to a good steak.
What to expect
Your implant journey, step by step
Consultation and planning
A comprehensive exam with 3D cone-beam imaging to evaluate bone density, map the implant site, and build a personalized plan.
Implant placement
Using guided surgery, Dr. Chen precisely places the titanium post under local anesthesia, with sedation options for comfort.
Healing and integration
Over three to six months the implant fuses with your jawbone. A temporary restoration keeps your smile intact while it heals.
Crown placement
Once healed, we attach a custom porcelain crown, bridge, or prosthesis. The result is a permanent restoration that feels completely natural.
