Dental implants are titanium posts placed directly into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, they support crowns, bridges, or dentures for full function and aesthetics. Our surgeons—Dr. Jesse Lanzon, DDS, MD and Dr. Reynaldo Rivera, DDS, MD, FACS—have specialized training in both medicine and dentistry, giving patients a high level of confidence in their care.
When Are Dental Implants Recommended?
Dental implants may be the best choice if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Experience discomfort or difficulty with removable dentures
- Want a durable and long-lasting tooth replacement
- Prefer a solution that preserves jawbone structure and facial contours
Whether you need a single replacement or full-mouth restoration, we offer a range of options including single tooth implants, implant-supported dentures, and custom surgical planning for jaw surgery if needed.
What the Dental Implant Process Involves
- Consultation and Imaging
Your first visit includes a clinical evaluation and 3D scans using CBCT imaging. This helps us determine bone quality and design a precise surgical plan. - Surgical Placement
Under local anesthesia or IV sedation, the implant post is placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. - Healing Phase
The implant integrates with your bone over several months, a process called osseointegration. Temporary restorations may be placed in the interim. - Final Restoration
After full healing, your dentist places the final crown, bridge, or denture on top of the implant.
Patients with insufficient bone may benefit from a bone graft or ridge augmentation prior to implant surgery.
Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
- Prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure
- Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
- Allow normal eating and speaking
- Eliminate the need for removable prosthetics
- Offer decades of durability with proper care

Our Approach to Implant Dentistry
We use digital scanning for accurate impressions and integrate digital X-rays to monitor progress throughout your care. Every treatment plan is built around your needs, comfort level, and long-term goals.
In cases where patients need full arch replacement, we may recommend All-on-4 dental implants as a streamlined alternative to multiple individual implants.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants painful?
Discomfort is typically mild and temporary. Sedation options such as nitrous oxide are available for added comfort.
How long do implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implants can last 20+ years.
Do I need a bone graft?
Not always. We evaluate bone density using 3D scans. If necessary, a bone graft will be recommended.
Is there an age limit for implants?
There is no upper age limit. Patients should be in good general health with fully developed jawbones.
Can I get implants the same day as extraction?
In some cases, yes. We offer same day appointments and may coordinate extraction and implant placement based on your situation.
