What it is
The closest thing to natural teeth
A dental implant is a small titanium post that takes the place of a missing tooth's root. Because it's anchored in the jaw, the replacement tooth looks, feels, and functions like a natural one — and it helps preserve the bone while keeping neighboring teeth from shifting.
At Pebble Hills Dental Care, we plan each case carefully and walk you through every step, from your first consultation to your final, natural-looking restoration. Whether you're missing one tooth or a full arch, we have an option that fits your smile and your budget.
- Single implants to replace one missing tooth
- Implant-supported bridges for several teeth in a row
- Full-arch All-on-X for a complete, fixed smile
- Bone grafting and ridge augmentation available when needed
All-on-X: a new smile, fixed in place
All-on-X replaces a full arch of teeth with just a few precisely placed implants — a fixed, natural-looking set of teeth you never take out.
- Eat the foods you love with restored chewing strength
- No adhesives, no soaking, no slipping
- Helps preserve your jawbone and facial structure
- A strong, stable foundation built to last
Benefits
Why patients choose implants
Implants do more than fill a gap — they restore the way your smile looks, feels, and works for the long term.
Natural look & feel
Custom restorations are color-matched to blend in, so your new tooth is indistinguishable from the rest.
Protects your bone
Implants stimulate the jaw like natural roots, helping prevent the bone loss that follows missing teeth.
Eat with confidence
Restore nearly all of your biting and chewing power — enjoy the foods you love again, worry-free.
Long-lasting
With good care and routine checkups, implants are built to last for decades — often a lifetime.
What to expect
Your implant journey, step by step
1 · Consultation
We review your goals, examine your mouth, and capture digital imaging to map the ideal treatment plan.
2 · Placement
The implant is placed gently and precisely. Safe sedation keeps you relaxed and comfortable throughout.
3 · Healing
The implant integrates with your bone over a few months, creating a strong, lasting foundation.
4 · Your new smile
We attach your custom crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration — natural-looking teeth you'll love to show off.
Your restoration options
Removable or fixed implant-supported teeth
Implant treatment can support more than a single crown or an All-on-X restoration. Your dentist can discuss implant-supported bridges, implant-retained dentures, fixed implant-supported dentures, and a broader full-mouth reconstruction when appropriate.
Removable implant-retained dentures
These dentures snap onto dental implants for added stability. You can remove them for cleaning and maintenance.
Fixed implant-supported dentures
These replacement teeth attach securely to implants and are designed to stay in place rather than be removed at home. Your team will explain how to clean around the restoration and care for it.
Planning and comfort
Our practice uses cone beam CT imaging to help plan implant placement. Inhaled sedation with laughing gas and oral conscious sedation are available options to discuss with your dentist. We will review the treatment steps, your restoration choices, and costs before treatment.
Request an implant consultation to discuss an option that fits your needs.
Questions
Dental implant FAQ
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults missing one or more teeth are good candidates. We evaluate your bone and gums with a digital scan, and if you need a little bone support first, bone grafting can often make implants possible. A consultation tells us for sure.
What is All-on-X?
All-on-X replaces a full arch of teeth using a small number of strategically placed implants that support a fixed, natural-looking set of teeth. It is a life-changing option for patients missing most or all of their teeth, with no slipping and no adhesives.
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. We use gentle techniques and offer safe sedation, and any soreness afterward is usually mild and short-lived. Soft pillows, blankets, and a calm environment help you relax.
How long do dental implants last?
With good daily care and routine checkups, dental implants are designed to last for decades and often a lifetime. Brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings keep your implants and gums healthy for the long term.
