Dental Implants

We understand how difficult it can be to lose a tooth or even several teeth. Gaps in your smile can cause a loss of confidence, but also pain and functional issues. While there are many solutions for replacing a missing tooth, the premier option is a dental implant.

Dr. Christine Wong, at Precision Dental Group in Hillsborough, is board-certified in dental implant surgery. She provides expert care throughout the implant process. If you are ready to take the next step in restoring your smile, contact our office for a consultation.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are surgical treatments to replace missing teeth by placing a titanium “root” into bone and then attaching a crown or other dental restoration to the implant. The implant securely anchors to your jaw, so your implant will act and feel just like a natural tooth.

Dental implants can last up to a lifetime with proper hygiene practice and routine dental care.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are the most reliable way to replace missing teeth, restoring both function and confidence in your smile. Unlike removable options, implants integrate directly with the jawbone, creating a secure foundation that looks and feels natural.

Restore Full Function

Implants allow you to chew, speak, and smile without worry of the slipping or shifting of ill-fitting removable dentures.

Protect Jawbone Health

By stimulating the bone like a natural tooth root, implants prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure.

Long-lasting Solution

With proper care, implants can last decades, often a lifetime.

Natural-Looking Aesthetics

Each restoration is designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth for a smile that feels authentic.

Improved Confidence

A stable, attractive smile enhances self-esteem and supports overall quality of life.

Preserve Healthy Teeth

Tooth loss can cause shifting of your smile or excessive wear on surrounding teeth. Implants can help prevent those complications.

Our office uses advanced imaging, 3D technology, and state-of-the-art guided surgery implant systems to ensure your treatment is precise and comfortable. By combining expertise with high-tech digital planning, we provide implant solutions that are designed for long-term wear, comfort, and appearance.

Receiving Dental Implants

The dental implant process in its entirety takes around 3–6 months. However, you won’t need to be without a tooth throughout this process. We craft temporary single-tooth dentures or temporaries that are custom to your smile. That way, you can receive implants while enjoying the function of your smile.

Our process involves these steps:

A comprehensive exam is needed prior to dental implant therapy. This usually includes a review of the patient’s medical history, dental health status, and an analysis of your bone volume with our 3D CBCT imaging technology.

During the consultation, we will determine as a team how many implants you need and what kind of restorations will work best for your oral health and lifestyle. Dental implants can be used to support a single crown, a dental bridge, or an entire denture. We use the All-on-X implants concept to craft full-arch restorations.

Bone grafts can help you receive implants even if your bone volume has diminished over the years. Along with bone grafts, we also offer sinus lifts.

The implant or implants are placed according to our precise surgical guide. We use advanced imaging technology to plan where your implants will be placed digitally and 3D print a surgical guide to be used at time of surgery. This custom placement assists your body in integrating your implant, improving outcomes and promoting quicker recovery.

We offer premier quality dental implants to give you the best success rates and longevity. Many of our implants can be placed even if you have lower bone density.

The placement is completed under local anesthesia and requires a day or two of recovery. We will give you recovery instructions and long-term care instructions before and after your treatment.

Once the dental implant is placed, 3–6 months of healing are needed before a dental restoration is placed. During that time, you will have a temporary, yet comfortable, prosthetic. This allows you to go about your life normally while your dental implant integrates.

A custom restoration will be created for your smile. Once your implant is secure, we will take digital impressions to craft the necessary restorations. Our office offers digital impressions for your comfort, so you don’t have to experience any messiness or discomfort from physical impressions.

Once we have received your new restoration, whether it be a full arch of teeth or a single crown, we will connect it to your implant, so it can act as your new tooth.
