About Dental Implants Services
I enjoy getting to know my patients and building meaningful relationships. I understand that each person is unique and that they have diverse cultural backgrounds, so I strive to actively listen and empower them to be an advocate for the health and wellness goals that are important to them. I’m dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care by providing patient education and practicing evidence-based medicine. I’m passionate about practicing preventive medicine and helping my patients manage acute and chronic health conditions, mental health.
I find joy by doing almost any outdoor activity, including hiking, running, and exploring with our furbabies. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also strive to live mindfully and intentionally by creating uplifting routines and relaxing rituals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do dental implants look natural?
Yes. Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The final crown is custom made to match your smile in color, shape, and size.
How do I care for dental implants?
Dental implants are cared for just like natural teeth. Daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits are essential to keeping your implants healthy and long lasting.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Some plans may cover part of the procedure, such as the crown or related treatments. Our team can help you review your benefits and discuss financing options if needed.
What happens if I do not replace a missing tooth?
Leaving a missing tooth untreated can lead to bone loss, shifting teeth, bite problems, and changes in facial structure. Dental implants help preserve bone health and maintain a strong, balanced smile.
Are dental implants painful?
The implant procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report minimal discomfort. After the procedure, mild soreness or swelling is normal and can usually be managed with over the counter or prescribed medication.
