Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. They provide a stable foundation for a dental restoration, making them a durable and natural-feeling option for tooth replacement.
The process typically begins with a consultation and imaging to plan your implant placement. Once the implants are placed, they integrate with the bone over time, and a custom restoration is attached, completing your new smile.
At Tend, our team uses advanced imaging tools to ensure precise placement and optimal results. Throughout the process, you'll have a clear understanding of each step and what to expect because transparency isn't just our policy; it's how we build trust.

Getting dental implants is a journey, and we'll guide you through each phase with clarity and support.
Step 1
We begin with a comprehensive exam, including digital imaging, to assess your oral health and bone structure. This is also when we discuss your goals, answer any questions you may have, and create a personalized treatment plan.
Step 2
Using advanced technology, we map out the precise placement of your implant. This detailed planning ensures the best possible outcome and helps us anticipate any additional steps, like bone grafting, if needed.
Step 3
During a minor surgical procedure, we place the titanium implant post into your jawbone. This is done under local anesthesia, and we prioritize your comfort throughout. The procedure typically takes one to two hours per implant.
Step 4
Over the next several months, the implant fuses with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This forms a strong foundation for your permanent restoration. We will provide guidance on caring for the site during the healing process.
Step 5
Once healing is finished, we attach a small connector called an abutment to the implant. This procedure prepares the implant to receive your custom crown. Your gums will need a few weeks to heal around the abutment.
Step 6
The final step is placing your custom-made crown, specially crafted to match your natural teeth. Once attached, your implant is finished, and you can enjoy your fully restored smile.

Addressing tooth loss goes beyond aesthetics. It's about protecting your oral health and overall well-being.
Losing a tooth can lead to more than just an empty space. When teeth are missing, the jawbone no longer receives stimulation from chewing and biting, leading jawbone deterioration over time.
In addition, remaining teeth may shift, causing misalignment, bite issues, and an increased risk of decay or gum disease. Missing teeth also affect eating and speaking, leading to social self-consciousness and impacting nutrition and confidence.
Replacing teeth with implants restores function, protects health, and rebuilds confidence, whether you've lost teeth recently or years ago. We're here to help you find the best solution.

If you’re considering dental implants, it’s normal to have questions. Here, our Tend team answer some of the things patients ask most often.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that's placed into your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it's securely in place and has fused with your bone, a custom-made crown is attached to the top, giving you a tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural one. Think of it as a permanent foundation for your smile that's built to last.
Most patients with good overall health and adequate jawbone density are ideal candidates for implants. During your consultation, we'll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if implants are suitable for you.
Yes. Your custom restoration is designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, so it blends seamlessly with your smile. Most people won't notice the difference, and neither will you. Our goal is to give you a result that looks and feels completely natural.
Coverage varies depending on your specific plan. Some insurance policies cover a portion of the implant procedure, while others might not. Our team will work with you to understand your benefits and explore payment options that fit your budget. We believe everyone deserves access to quality care, and we're here to help make it happen.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't experience pain during placement. Afterwards, most patients feel mild discomfort similar to other dental procedures, which you can manage with over-the-counter pain relievers. We will give you detailed aftercare instructions and are always available if you have concerns during your recovery.
Absolutely. Dental implants are highly versatile and can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or even support a full arch of teeth. We'll tailor your treatment plan based on how many teeth you're replacing and what will work best for your lifestyle and budget.
The timeline varies depending on your individual needs, but most patients can expect the entire process to take between three and six months. This includes the initial placement, a healing period where the implant fuses with your jawbone, and finally, the placement of your permanent restoration. We'll guide you through a personalized timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Great news! Taking care of your implant is just like caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits are all you need to keep your implant healthy and working well for years to come. We'll show you the best techniques during your appointment.
If you’re considering dental implants, you’re likely wondering how long healing takes. The answer may be more reassuring than you expect. With today’s gentle techniques and clear aftercare, most patients find the process comfortable, straightforward, and much shorter than they imagined.
