What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with the bone, they support crowns, bridges, or dentures that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants preserve surrounding bone and do not rely on adjacent teeth for support.
At Laudenbach Periodontics & Dental Implants, our periodontists plan and place implants using advanced technology — including Planmeca Cone Beam 3D imaging and an in-office RapidShape 3D printer. We exclusively use Straumann implants, the global gold standard backed by decades of clinical research.
Types of Dental Implants
We offer a full range of implant solutions to match your specific needs, whether you are replacing a single tooth or an entire arch.
Single Tooth Implants
Replace one single tooth without affecting neighboring teeth — the most common and predictable solution.
Learn more →All-on-X Dental Implants
Full-arch restoration with All-on-X supported by as few as four implants, often completed in a single appointment.
Learn more →Full Arch Dental Implants
A comprehensive fixed solution for patients missing all or most teeth on the upper or lower arch. Learn more about full arch dental implants.
Learn more →Implant-Supported Overdenture
A removable denture secured by implants for improved stability, comfort, and long-term bone preservation. Learn more about implant overdenture options.
Same-Day Tooth Replacement
In eligible patients, same-day tooth replacement allows a temporary restoration to be placed the same day as implant surgery.
Peri-Implantitis Treatment
If an existing implant shows signs of infection or bone loss, our team can treat peri-implantitis to restore implant health.
Are You a Candidate?
Most adults in good general health who have one or more missing teeth may be candidates. A thorough evaluation from our highly trained dental specialists will determine the right approach based on your bone density, gum health, and medical history.
- Sufficient jawbone density to support the implant post
- Healthy gum tissue free from active periodontal disease
- No uncontrolled systemic conditions that may affect healing
- Non-smoker status, or willingness to stop smoking during treatment
- A commitment to long-term oral hygiene and maintenance
“Not sure if you’re a candidate? Most people who think they aren’t actually are.”
Our $219 consultation includes a full cone beam CT scan — we’ll give you a real answer, not a guess.
“Many patients who believe they are not candidates for implants because of bone loss may still have options. A cone beam CT scan gives us a complete picture before we make any determination.”
The Implant Process
Dental implant treatment is completed over several months in carefully planned stages designed to give each implant the best chance of long-term success.
1
Consultation & 3D Imaging
A full cone beam CT scan evaluates your bone volume, nerve locations, and anatomy to drive the entire treatment plan.
2
Bone Grafting (if needed)
If bone loss in the jaw is present and bone volume is insufficient, bone grafting is placed first. Healing typically takes 3–6 months before implant placement proceeds.
3
Implant Placement
The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Most patients report minimal discomfort following the procedure.
4
Osseointegration
Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone — creating the stable anchor for the final restoration.
5
Final Restoration
Once healed, the crown, bridge, or denture is placed after the implant has fully integrated. The result looks and functions like a natural tooth.
What Does It Cost?
The cost varies based on the number of implants, whether bone grafting is needed, and the type of restoration. While implants are a higher upfront investment than bridges or dentures, they may last a lifetime — making them the most cost-effective solution over time for many patients. Review a full breakdown of the cost of dental implants and what factors affect your estimate.
We work with most major insurance carriers and offer flexible insurance and payment options. Our team will review your benefits before treatment so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
With proper oral hygiene and regular maintenance visits, dental implants may last a lifetime. The crown placed on top may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear. Long-term success depends on bone health, home care, and periodic periodontal maintenance.
Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients feel pressure rather than pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is generally mild and manageable. Our team provides detailed after-placement instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Bone loss does not necessarily disqualify you from implants. Procedures such as bone grafting, sinus augmentation, or ridge augmentation can rebuild the foundation needed. Our 3D imaging allows us to assess your bone accurately before recommending a path forward.
Coverage varies widely by plan. Some plans cover portions of the implant, bone grafting, or crown separately. Our team will review your benefits before treatment. We also offer financing options.
