BOOK APPOINTMENTWhat Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts that replace the roots of missing teeth. Once placed in the jawbone by a trusted oral surgeon or periodontist, the implant naturally fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration), creating a strong and stable foundation for:
- A single dental crown
- An implant-supported bridge
- A full denture or All-on-4® system
Because implants replace both the root and the visible tooth, they offer unmatched stability and long-term oral health benefits compared to traditional dentures or bridges.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
A Natural Look & Feel
Implants closely mimic natural teeth. They look realistic, feel secure, and restore full chewing power.
A Lifetime Solution
With proper care, dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime, making them a smart long-term investment.
Bone Preservation
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss and facial collapse that often happens when teeth are missing.
No Slipping or Clicking
Unlike dentures, implants won't move while eating or speaking.
Protects Neighboring Teeth
Implants replace missing teeth without grinding or reshaping the healthy teeth beside them.
If you want a permanent tooth replacement that also restores your confidence, dental implants may be the ideal solution.

BOOK APPOINTMENT
Dr. Cannilla Places Implants
The implant process involves two major phases:
1. Surgical Implant Placement:
Dr. Cannilla partners with highly skilled surgeons who safely place the titanium implant post in your jawbone. This specialist approach ensures precision, comfort, and the highest success rates.
2. Custom Implant Restoration:
Once the implant heals and fuses with the bone, Dr. Cannilla completes the process by attaching a natural-looking crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthetic. Every restoration is customized for a seamless, beautiful smile.
Your new implant-supported tooth is designed to feel completely natural—so natural, many patients forget which tooth is the implant.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Have healthy gums
- Have adequate jawbone volume
- Want a secure, long-lasting alternative to dentures
- Do not smoke or are willing to quit before treatment
- Are in overall good health
Even if you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for implants, modern solutions—like bone grafting or the All-on-4® treatment—may still make implants possible.
All-on-4® Full-Mouth Implant Treatment
For patients needing full-mouth restoration, the All-on-4® treatment concept offers a life-changing solution using just four implants per arch. Benefits include:
- Faster treatment with fewer implants
- Often no need for bone grafting
- A full set of temporary teeth placed the same day
- A secure, natural-looking final bridge after healing
- A long-term, stable alternative to traditional dentures
If you’re tired of removable dentures or want a permanent full-mouth option, ask us about the All-on-4® system during your consultation.
Dental Implant FAQ
How painful is getting a tooth implant?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure thanks to local anesthesia. Afterward, mild soreness is common but manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Most people return to normal activities within a day or two.
How long will a tooth implant last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implants can last 20+ years. With even greater care, they can often last a lifetime. The crown may need to be replaced after 10–15 years due to normal wear.
How expensive is a dental implant?
Costs vary depending on the number of implants, the need for bone grafting, and the type of restoration. During your consultation, our team will provide a clear, personalized cost estimate and review insurance benefits.
What is the downside to dental implants?
Implants require surgery, healing time, and good gum health. They can be more expensive upfront than dentures or bridges, but they also last significantly longer.
Do you have stitches with dental implants?
In most cases, yes. Stitches are used after implant placement and are typically removed—or dissolve—within 7–10 days.
How long is too long to wait for a tooth implant?
The longer a tooth is missing, the more bone loss can occur. Ideally, implants should be placed within the first year after tooth loss. However, even years later, implants are still possible—sometimes with bone grafting.
