How Do Dental Implants Work?


A dental implant replaces the roots of teeth. The implant attaches directly to your jawbone forming a secure, long-lasting bond.


After about 3-6 months, when the implant has fully healed, we’ll attach an artificial tooth to the top of the implant.

When you visit Viva Dental for a dental implant consultation, we will talk through your options with you, help you decide if dental implants are the right choice for you, and conduct an examination to determine the number, size, and shape of the implants you need.


The result is a natural looking, undetectable replacement for the missing tooth. If you have more than one tooth missing, several implants can provide a base for a series of artificial teeth known as a fixed bridge.

Implants vs. Dentures

Dental implants are the closest thing to regrowing your natural teeth. They are strong, stable, durable and may provide years of function.

By filling gaps left by missing teeth, implants can provide better chewing ability and head off jaw joint problems and stabilize your jaw bone. In all those ways, they are far superior to removable dentures.
