Request a Second OpinionUnderstanding Dental Implants
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up: a titanium post takes the place of the root, and once it heals into your jawbone, it holds a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like your own. Because it supports itself instead of relying on nearby teeth, it gives you a stable, long-term fix. Dr. Bouz builds every plan around your specific mouth, whether you’re replacing one tooth or several.
Single Tooth Implants
If you’re missing just one tooth, a single implant replaces it without touching the healthy teeth on either side. Dr. Bouz places the implant directly into your jawbone, where it anchors a custom-matched replacement tooth that blends in with the rest of your smile.
All-on-4
If you’re missing most or all of your teeth in one arch, All-on-4 replaces a full row of teeth using just four implants as anchors. This option gives you a permanent, fixed set of teeth in one coordinated treatment, rather than fitting and refitting a removable denture.
Full Mouth Implants
Some cases call for more than a single implant or arch. When you need a broader combination of implants, crowns, and bridges to rebuild your bite, Dr. Bouz coordinates the full plan so every piece works together toward one healthy, functional result.
Financing & Insurance
Making It Work Financially
We accept most major insurance plans, so call or email to verify your coverage. For patients without insurance, Dental Prime Membership covers two annual exams, two cleanings, and routine X-rays for $375 a year, plus 15% off any restorative work. Financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, and Alphaeon is available for larger treatment costs.
What Happens When You Lose a Tooth
A missing tooth changes more than how your smile looks. Over time, it can affect:
- Your jawbone, which can lose density without a tooth root to stimulate it
- Neighboring teeth, which can shift to fill the open space
- Your bite, which can become uneven when a tooth is missing
When It’s Time to Choose Dental Implants
Dental implants are worth considering if any of these sound like you:
- You’re missing one or more teeth and want a permanent, fixed solution
- You’re tired of adjusting a loose denture or partial throughout the day
- You want an option that stands on its own, without relying on your other teeth for support
- You’re ready to explore your options and get real answers about what’s possible
The Ideal Candidate for Dental Implants
Most patients missing one or more teeth are candidates for dental implants. Dr. Bouz looks for a few things during your consultation:
- Good general oral health, with healthy gums
- Enough jawbone to support an implant, or a case that can be built up to support one
- One or more missing teeth you’d like to replace permanently
- A commitment to regular brushing, flossing, and checkups afterward
- Realistic goals you and Dr. Bouz can talk through together
What to Expect During Your Implant Procedure
Free Consultation
Dr. Bouz examines your mouth, listens to your goals, and talks through whether implants are the right fit for you, at no cost and with no obligation.
Imaging and Planning
Dr. Bouz uses CBCT imaging, a 3D scan that shows your jawbone in detail, to evaluate your bone structure and plan exactly where each implant should go.
Implant Placement
Dr. Bouz numbs the area and confirms you’re fully numb before placing the implant directly into your jawbone.
Healing Time
Your jawbone needs time to fuse with the implant before your final restoration goes in, so this healing period gets built into your timeline from the start.
Impression and Fitting
Once you’ve healed, Dr. Bouz takes an impression of the implant site to design a replacement tooth that matches your bite and your smile.
Final Restoration
Dr. Bouz places and adjusts your finished crown, bridge, or denture, completing your treatment with the same dentist from start to finish.
