Dental implants provide a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, designed to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. They allow patients to regain the ability to eat their favorite foods comfortably and restore confidence in their smiles. Implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, where they integrate with the bone to create a secure foundation for artificial teeth.
Beyond aesthetics, dental implants help maintain facial structure by preventing the bone loss that naturally occurs when teeth are missing. This stability makes them a preferred choice for those looking for a lasting and reliable tooth replacement option.
If you’re considering dental implants, the first step is a comprehensive evaluation, including a dental and radiographic exam. During this consultation, Dr. Petruk and our team will assess your oral health, review your medical history, and discuss your goals to determine if implants are the best solution for you. In some cases, we may refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for specialized care.
Thanks to advancements in dental technology, many patients can benefit from single-stage implants, which streamline the process by eliminating the need for multiple procedures. In some cases, implants can even be placed at the same time as a tooth extraction, reducing the overall treatment timeline.
The placement of dental implants is a collaborative effort involving both a periodontist and a restorative dentist. Dr. Petruk works closely with specialists to ensure the highest level of precision and care during every step of the process, from initial surgery to final restoration.
Dental implants consist of a metal post that acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a secure base for replacement teeth. The procedure is typically completed in two phases:
While the full process may take six to eight months, most patients experience minimal disruption to their daily lives.
To keep your dental implants in optimal condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, providing a durable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible titanium, designed to support replacement teeth. They provide a secure and long-lasting solution for missing teeth by integrating with the jawbone.
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are good candidates. Factors like smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or gum disease may require additional care before undergoing the procedure.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implants can last a lifetime. The attached crowns or dentures may require replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.
Dental implants have a success rate of over 95%. Factors such as bone density, oral health, and post-surgical care play a role in long-term success.
