Plan
Your bone and gums are evaluated and the implant position is planned before placement day.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement that looks natural and protects your jawbone.
Dental Implants
Placed by a specialist in the tissues that hold them
An implant is only as strong as the gum and bone around it, and that’s exactly what a periodontist specializes in. Dr. Sharon evaluates your bone, places the implant precisely, and manages the healing so your replacement tooth has a foundation built to last.
Implants offer the comfort and security of a permanent replacement that looks and functions like your natural teeth. Just as important, they preserve the tooth-supporting bone that begins to deteriorate when even one tooth is lost.
Why patients choose implants
- Looks and chews like a natural tooth
- Fixed in place, never removed at night
- Preserves jawbone after tooth loss
- Doesn’t grind down neighboring teeth
- Decades of use with good care

FAQs
Your questions, answered
Am I a candidate for implants?
Most people with a missing tooth, healthy gums, and adequate bone are candidates. If bone has been lost, grafting can often rebuild it. An evaluation gives you a definitive answer.
How long does the process take?
The implant fuses with your bone over a few months before the final tooth is attached. We coordinate with your general dentist, who typically makes the crown, so everything happens in the right order.
Does getting an implant hurt?
Placement is done under local anesthesia and most patients report less discomfort than they expected, often comparing it to a filling.
