Oral Surgery & Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth, and at Capitol Dental, we specialize in providing safe, effective implant surgery right here in our office. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they act as artificial tooth roots. This creates a secure, stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or even full-arch restorations. Implants not only restore the appearance of your smile, but they also preserve your jawbone, prevent shifting of neighboring teeth, and improve chewing function. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, our team will help you determine if dental implants are the right solution for your long-term oral health.

What to Expect During the Dental Implant Process
The dental implant process typically takes place in stages, beginning with a comprehensive exam and 3D imaging to assess your bone structure and oral health. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll surgically place a small titanium post into the jawbone, which will fuse with the bone over a few months through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, we attach a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to complete your restoration. The result is a tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth. Throughout your treatment, we use advanced technology and gentle techniques to ensure comfort and successful outcomes. Every step is done with precision to help you regain a confident, fully functional smile.
Why Dental Implants Are Worth the Investment
Dental implants are one of the most durable and long-lasting tooth replacement options available today. With proper care, they can last decades—often a lifetime—making them a smart investment in your oral health. Beyond aesthetics, implants help maintain facial structure and prevent the bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth. Patients often report a significant boost in confidence and quality of life after implant treatment. At Capitol Dental, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, from consultation to recovery. If you're ready to explore the benefits of dental implants, schedule an evaluation and take the first step toward restoring your smile for good.
