Customized for Your Specific Needs
When you're missing a single tooth, an individual implant with a custom crown offers the most natural and functional replacement option. The implant post is placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth, then topped with a connector piece (abutment) and a crown once healing is complete. The result is a standalone replacement tooth that doesn't rely on neighboring teeth for support. Single tooth implants look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth, allowing normal brushing, flossing, eating, and speaking while preventing bone loss at the site of the missing tooth.

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to function as artificial tooth roots. These biocompatible anchors provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth—whether a single crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration.
Unlike other tooth replacement options that sit on the gums or attach to adjacent teeth, implants integrate with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable, permanent base that prevents bone loss while supporting restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Dental implants have revolutionized tooth replacement, offering a solution that addresses both the visible portion of missing teeth and the crucial root structure below the gumline. This comprehensive approach provides unmatched stability, longevity, and preservation of oral health.

Dr. Ramanpreet Kaur takes a comprehensive approach to implant dentistry, carefully evaluating your oral health, bone structure, and specific needs before recommending a personalized treatment plan. She works with a network of trusted specialists when needed to ensure you receive the highest standard of care at every stage of the implant process.
We use advanced diagnostic imaging to precisely plan implant placement for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. Our focus on patient education means you'll understand each step of the process, expected timelines, and what to expect during recovery.
The implant process requires several months for completion as the implant integrates with your jawbone, but the results are well worth the wait. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them an excellent long-term investment in your oral health and quality of life.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the implant process is. The placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the surgery. Some discomfort, swelling, and bruising may occur during the healing period, but this is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and prescribed medications if needed. Many patients report that implant placement involves less discomfort than tooth extraction. For anxious patients or more complex cases, we also offer sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience throughout the procedure.
The complete implant process typically takes 3-8 months, depending on your specific situation and the type of implant restoration. After initial placement, implants need 3-6 months to fully integrate with the jawbone before supporting a permanent restoration. In some cases, temporary restorations can be placed immediately or shortly after implant placement while osseointegration occurs. Additional procedures like bone grafting or tooth extraction may extend the timeline. During your consultation, we'll provide a personalized timeline based on your individual treatment plan, explaining what to expect at each stage of the process.
Most adults with missing teeth can be candidates for dental implants, though several factors affect suitability. Ideal candidates have good general health, healthy gums, and adequate jawbone density to support implants. However, even if you have experienced bone loss, solutions like bone grafting or specialized implant techniques may make treatment possible. Certain medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors (like smoking) can affect implant success, but don't automatically disqualify you from treatment. The best way to determine your candidacy is through a comprehensive evaluation, which we're happy to provide during a consultation appointment.
The cost of dental implants varies based on numerous factors, including the number of implants needed, any preparatory procedures required (such as extractions or bone grafting), the type of restoration placed on the implants, and your geographic location. While implants represent a higher initial investment than other tooth replacement options, their longevity and health benefits often make them more cost-effective over time. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. We accept many insurance plans and offer financing options to help make implant treatment more accessible.
Caring for dental implants involves many of the same practices as caring for natural teeth: brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and maintaining regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings. We may recommend specialized tools like interdental brushes or water flossers to clean effectively around implant restorations. Avoiding tobacco products and limiting hard, sticky foods can help protect your implants and restorations. With proper home care and professional maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, though the crowns or dentures attached to them may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.
