Dental Implants: A Strong, Lasting Solution for Missing Teeth
Missing a tooth isn’t just a cosmetic concern—it can affect how you speak, eat, and feel day-to-day. Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they don’t just fill a gap—they restore function, confidence, and long-term oral health.
At Harbor City Dental, we offer implant solutions that are built to last and customized to you.
What Are Dental Implants, Exactly?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. It's placed securely into the jawbone, where it fuses over time. Once healed, it’s topped with a custom crown that looks, feels, and functions like your natural tooth.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don’t shift or rely on neighboring teeth for support. They’re designed to stay put—and stay strong.
Why Choose Implants?
Natural look & feel – Blends seamlessly with your existing smile
Long-lasting durability – With proper care, implants can last decades
Preserves bone health – Helps prevent the jawbone shrinkage that can occur after tooth loss
No special maintenance – Brush, floss, and treat it like your other teeth
Confidence boost – Speak, eat, and smile without second-guessing
Are Implants Right for You?
If you’re missing one or more teeth and have healthy gums and bone, you’re likely a great candidate for implants. Even if you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone, we can explore options like bone grafting to prepare the area.
Our team will walk you through every step—from consultation to placement to restoration—so you feel confident and cared for at every stage.
What’s the Process Like?
The implant process typically happens in phases:
Consultation & Imaging – We assess your needs and create a personalized treatment plan.
Implant Placement – The titanium post is placed with precision and care.
Healing Period – Your jawbone integrates with the implant over a few months.
Restoration – A custom-made crown is placed to complete your smile.
We keep things transparent, comfortable, and efficient—no surprises, no confusion.
Restore More Than Just Your Smile
Dental implants aren’t just about replacing teeth. They’re about restoring the way you eat, speak, and show up in the world. If you’re ready for a permanent solution that feels like you, we’re ready to help.
