What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants represent one of the most remarkable advances in modern dentistry, offering a gentle yet transformative solution for replacing missing teeth that feels incredibly natural and works beautifully for decades to come. Considered the gold standard of tooth restoration, dental implants are small, carefully crafted titanium posts that are thoughtfully placed into your jawbone, where they gradually integrate with your natural bone tissue to create a strong, stable foundation that mimics the root of your natural tooth.
What makes dental implants so wonderfully special is how closely they replicate the function and feel of your original teeth. Once the implant has lovingly fused with your jawbone through a natural healing process, we place a custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture on top that matches your existing teeth perfectly in both color and shape. The result is a replacement tooth that not only looks completely natural but also allows you to eat, speak, and smile with the same confidence and comfort you once enjoyed.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges that may feel foreign in your mouth, dental implants become a genuine part of you, stimulating your jawbone just like natural tooth roots do and helping preserve the healthy structure of your face and smile for years to come. This means you can bite into an apple, laugh heartily with friends, or speak in important meetings without any worry or self-consciousness, knowing your smile is beautifully secure and authentically yours.

Our Process to a Complete Smile
Stage One: Implant Placement
The foundation of your successful dental implant begins with the precise surgical placement of a biocompatible titanium post into your jawbone, where this remarkable material serves as a strong substitute for your natural tooth root. This gentle procedure is carried out with meticulous care to ensure your comfort while creating the sturdy foundation your new tooth will need to thrive for decades to come.
If you don’t have sufficient jawbone density to support an implant, Dr. Lanik may recommend bone grafting prior to placement. During your consultation, he’ll gently explain this preparatory process and discuss all your options in clear, easy-to-understand terms, ensuring you feel completely comfortable and confident before moving forward.
Stage Two: Healing and Integration
Following this placement, your body begins its incredible healing work during a peaceful three to six-month period, where your jawbone gradually grows around and embraces the implant through a natural process called osseointegration. This fusion creates an unshakably secure anchor that will support your restoration for many years to come.
Stage Three: Restoration Placement
- Placement of a crown over a single dental implant by Dr. Lanik: For patients missing a single tooth, a custom-made crown is crafted to match the color, shape, and size of the surrounding teeth. Dr. Lanik’s expertise ensures that the crown looks natural and offers full functionality.
- Creation of a denture-supported implant for multiple implants: In cases where you have multiple missing teeth, denture-supported implants come into play. These specially designed dentures anchored to multiple implants provide stability, improved function, and a natural appearance.
