Dental implants are revolutionizing the way we restore smiles, offering a state-of-the-art foundation for replacement teeth that impeccably mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. For those who have experienced tooth loss, implants open the door to a renewed ability to enjoy their favorite foods and to smile with assured confidence, all while maintaining the natural shape of their face.
Crafted from biocompatible titanium, these diminutive posts are expertly inserted into the jawbone where teeth are absent. The jawbone naturally integrates with the titanium, establishing a robust base for artificial teeth. Beyond merely serving as a tooth replacement, dental implants play a critical role in preserving facial structure and preventing the jawbone deterioration that typically follows tooth loss.
Embracing dental implants is embracing a life transformed; individuals are finding newfound comfort and self-assurance in everyday activities such as eating, speaking, and laughing, fully enjoying life without reservation.

We place immense value on your inquiries and considerations. Our dedicated team is committed to engaging closely with you, ensuring that every step of your implant journey is met with clarity and confidence. It is our utmost priority to facilitate a successful and satisfying outcome for your procedure.
Dental Implant Procedure
Dental implants serve as sophisticated metal anchors, expertly designed to function as substitutes for natural tooth roots. They are surgically embedded with precision into the jawbone. Upon these implants, small yet sturdy posts are affixed, which extend above the gum line. These posts act as secure and unwavering foundations upon which artificial replacement teeth are mounted, ensuring a restoration that is as functional as it is aesthetic.
The journey to a renewed smile with dental implants typically unfolds over two key surgical stages. Initially, the implants are meticulously positioned within your jawbone. In the following three to six months, as you heal beneath the gentle concealment of your gums, the implants are fusing with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. Throughout this period, you can comfortably wear temporary dentures and adhere to a soft diet.
Simultaneously, your restorative dentist is carefully planning and crafting your final bridgework or denture, which promises to enhance both the functionality and the aesthetics of your smile.
Once the implants have successfully integrated with the jawbone, the second phase commences. The surgeon delicately exposes the implants and affixes a small healing collar. This sets the stage for Dr. Ghalloub to begin the creation of your new teeth, starting with precise impressions and followed by the attachment of posts or other connectors to the implants. Your bespoke replacement teeth will then be fabricated to attach to these posts.
Typically, the entire process spans six to eight months, with most patients reporting minimal to no interference with their everyday activities, allowing for a smooth transition towards a full and confident smile.
