What Is a Dental Implant?
What Benefits Do Dental Implants Offer?
Dental implants have many benefits, including:
- A healthy, great-looking smile. Dental implants can prevent bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss. This can affect neighboring teeth and the overall structure of the face. The “post” of the dental implant replaces the missing root of the tooth, providing stimulation and preventing erosion. Because implants are anchored into the jawbone, there is no need to grind or shave down neighboring teeth.
- A stable, comfortable restoration. Dental implants are anchored so your new teeth don’t slip or move out of place. Also, implants don’t rub against the gum tissue and cause irritation.
- Increase in confidence. Dental implants are designed to look just like natural teeth. Patients don’t have to worry about gaps in their smile or appliances that slip and move out of place.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you have had a tooth extraction and have good oral health, you are a likely candidate for an implant. If you are missing one or more teeth due to injury or disease, visit our office today, and Dr. Alok Sharda can provide you with an examination to determine if you have sufficient bone density to receive an implant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants are an appliance made of a titanium post anchored to a restoration such as a dental bridge or crown. The post acts like a screw and anchors the restoration into the jawbone.
Each implant is designed to blend in with your smile and can be matched to the surrounding area.
Since dental implants first started being used, dentists have seen them last for over 30 years. With proper hygiene and upkeep, our office can help your implant last for decades.
To help patients feel comfortable, our dentist will use anesthesia while placing the implant. Our office may also prescribe medication to help with pain management. Usually patients can return to normal activity the day after their appointment.
The cost of the implant can depend on the number of implants, the type of restoration used and the individual needs of the patient. Our dentist will help determine an accurate estimate during your first consultation.
Depending on the plan, an implant can be covered by insurance. If it is not covered under your current plan, it can sometimes be added on. Contact your provider to see if this is an option for you.
The dental implants are completed over several appointments in addition to a healing period in between. Usually, treatment is completed over a few months, though some patients are eligible for “immediate” implants.
