Restore Your Smile with Permanent, Natural-Looking Dental Implants
Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can impact your ability to eat, speak, and maintain good oral health. Dental implants provide a permanent, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both function and confidence.
Expert Dental Implant Placement for a Strong, Lasting Smile
At Isles Dental, Dr. Robert Springer offers expert dental implant placement and restoration to help patients achieve a complete, long-lasting smile. Whether you're missing a single tooth or need full-mouth restoration, dental implants provide unmatched durability, comfort, and aesthetics.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that mimic the structure of natural teeth. They consist of:
- A titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a tooth root
- An abutment that connects the post to the replacement tooth
- A custom dental crown, bridge, or denture that restores the appearance and function of your smile
Once placed, dental implants integrate with the jawbone, providing a secure, stable foundation for replacement teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Permanent and Long-Lasting – Implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
- Natural Appearance & Feel – Looks and functions just like a real tooth.
- Prevents Bone Loss – Stimulates the jawbone to prevent deterioration.
- Restores Bite Strength – Eat and chew with confidence.
- No Slipping or Discomfort – Unlike dentures, implants stay securely in place.
- Preserves Surrounding Teeth – Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering healthy teeth.
Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement, offering superior results compared to bridges or dentures.

The Dental Implant Process
1. Consultation & Treatment Planning
Dr. Springer will perform a comprehensive exam, including digital X-rays, to evaluate your bone density and determine if you're a candidate for implants.
2. Implant Placement Surgery
A titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over the next few months, the bone fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation.
3. Abutment Placement & Healing
Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant to connect it with the final restoration.
4. Final Crown, Bridge, or Denture Placement
A custom-made restoration is securely attached, completing your new smile. The result is a fully functional, natural-looking tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 10–15 years due to wear.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Local anesthesia is used, and post-surgical discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does the implant process take?
The entire process can take several months to allow for proper healing and bone integration. However, same-day implants may be an option in some cases.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Some dental insurance plans partially cover implants, while others consider them a cosmetic procedure. We offer flexible financing options to make treatment accessible.
How do I care for my dental implants?
- Brush and floss daily just like natural teeth
- Schedule regular dental checkups for maintenance
- Avoid smoking, which can affect healing and implant longevity
