What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are prosthetic teeth that function and appear just like natural teeth. They are a long-term option for replacing missing teeth, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits. Implants consist of three essential components: a titanium post, an abutment, and a dental crown. The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the surrounding bone tissue through a process called osseointegration — creating a stable foundation for the crown that's then attached to the abutment.
Dental Implant Placement
Dental implant treatment is a major focus of our practice at Renaissance Dental Group. The procedure begins with a comprehensive examination of your oral health to determine if dental implants are the right option for you, followed by a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
During placement, the titanium post is carefully inserted into the jawbone with local anesthesia and an individualized care plan. Recovery and healing times vary. The post is left to heal and integrate with the bone, usually taking a few months. Once fully fused, we attach the abutment and place a custom-made dental crown, completing the restoration of your missing tooth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Improved Oral Health — implants can support replacement teeth without relying on adjacent teeth and may help preserve jawbone.
- Enhanced Aesthetics — implant restorations are designed to complement your smile. Appearance and feel depend on your treatment and individual circumstances.
- Restored Functionality — implants may improve chewing and stability. Follow your care team’s guidance on food choices during healing and long-term care.
- Built to Last — implants require daily cleaning, regular professional maintenance and follow-up. Longevity varies by patient and treatment.
Treatment Options We Discuss With You
Every case is different. Depending on how many teeth are missing and your bone and gum health, one or more of these approaches may be discussed at your evaluation — the right option for you is determined case by case, not before then.
Single Implant & Crown
An option to replace one missing tooth with a single implant and crown, in cases where the surrounding bone can support it.
Connected Crowns or a Fixed Bridge
Depending on the case, a small number of missing teeth may be addressed with connected crowns or a fixed bridge anchored by one or more implants.
Implant Dentures & All-on-4
For more extensive tooth loss, implant-supported dentures or an All-on-4 approach may be an option. In selected cases, a temporary prosthetic can be delivered the same day — this is evaluated individually, not guaranteed for every patient.
The Dental Implant Process
Consultation
Dr. Shulman looks at every aspect of your oral and overall health to make sure implants are right for you.
Preliminary Procedures
In some cases, separate treatment is needed beforehand — gum disease therapy, a bone graft, or extractions.
Implant Placement
Performed right in our office for convenience and continuity of care. Procedure length varies with your treatment plan. We discuss anesthesia, comfort and aftercare before treatment.
Osseointegration
Implants generally take several months to fuse with the surrounding jawbone. In selected All-on-4 or Teeth-in-a-Day cases, a temporary prosthetic may be placed the same day — determined individually at your evaluation.
Restoration
After appropriate healing and evaluation, your implant is restored with a final crown, bridge or denture. Ongoing cleaning and professional maintenance are important.

FAQ
Dental Implant Questions, Answered
How much do dental implants cost? +
Cost depends on the number of teeth being replaced, any preliminary treatment and the restoration. Contact our team to check participation in your specific plan and discuss expected costs and available payment options; coverage and patient costs vary.
Am I too old for dental implants? +
There is no upper age limit for implants. What matters is bone density, gum health and overall health, which we evaluate with a 3D scan and full exam.
How long does the dental implant process take? +
Treatment often takes several months, and timing varies with healing, any preliminary treatment and the restoration. Selected patients may receive same-day temporary teeth; this is not guaranteed. The final restoration follows appropriate healing and evaluation. We discuss an estimated timeline at your consultation.
Are dental implants painful? +
Local anesthesia is used during implant placement. Discomfort, recovery time and return to normal activities vary with the procedure and your health. We discuss comfort measures and provide individualized aftercare instructions.
What is the difference between a single implant and All-on-4? +
A single implant replaces one missing tooth. All-on-4 uses four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth, ideal for patients missing most or all of their teeth in one jaw.
