Dental Implant

A dental implant is a small post that sits in your jawbone. It holds a denture or a full set of teeth in place, so the rest of your treatment connects to it.

Implant treatment is a team effort. Our surgical partner places the implants. Your denturist plans and designs the teeth or denture that connect to them, and the two work out your plan together.

How many implants you'd have depends on the option you choose and on your mouth. That's settled with you in person.

You'll see the word implant in the names of our options: dentures on implants (DOI), denture on a bar (DOB) and fixed on implants (FOI). Each has its own glossary entry if you'd like the details.

The implant is the part that holds your teeth in place. If you're comparing options, a good first question is how each one connects to the implants.
