Strong, Natural-looking Dental Implant Solutions
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth at the root level. Once healed, they support a crown, bridge or denture that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Implants help preserve bone, restore bite strength and offer a durable, low-maintenance solution for missing teeth. While they can be expensive, they are very strong and last a lifetime, saving you money in the long run.
Cost
Dental implants at SmileCross Dental start at $1,482. We offer financing through Cherry to make the cost accessible.

What Happens During Your Treatment
1
Consultation and Evaluation: We start the process with a thorough exam, digital imaging and a discussion of your medical history. We evaluate bone health and determine whether implants are right for you or if a bone graft is needed first.
2
Treatment Planning: Dr. Morgan or Dr. Gardocki will create a custom treatment plan outlining the number of implants, timeline and restoration type (crown, bridge or denture).
3
Implant Placement: Under local anesthesia, the titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone. This replaces the tooth root and provides a stable foundation for your new tooth.
4
Healing and Osseointegration: Over the next 3–6 months, the implant fuses with your natural bone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, permanent base.
5
Abutment Placement: Once healing is complete, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant. This will hold your final crown or bridge in place.
6
Final Restoration: Your custom crown, bridge or denture is secured to the implant. It’s shaped and colored to match your smile—and functions like a natural tooth.
7
Follow-up and Maintenance: Regular checkups ensure that your implant stays healthy and strong. With proper care, your dental implant can last for decades.
