Replace missing teeth with permanent titanium-based restorations that look, feel and function like natural teeth.
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Drawing on over 50 years of research and science originally developed by orthopedic surgeons for joint replacements, dental implants provide a stable foundation for permanent or removable replacement teeth designed to match your natural teeth perfectly.
Unlike dentures or traditional bridges that sit on top of gums or rely on adjacent teeth for support, implants fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a sturdy, permanent base for your replacement teeth that prevents bone loss, preserves facial structure, and restores complete function. When topped with a custom-made porcelain crown, dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth—allowing you to smile, speak, and eat with absolute confidence.
At Ponce Dental Studio, we see patients needing dental implants primarily in two situations: when a tooth has already been extracted or when a tooth is deemed “terminal” due to extensive decay, severe fracture, or irreparable damage. Unlike temporary solutions, dental implants address the root cause by replacing both the visible portion of your tooth and its root, preventing the many complications that arise from missing teeth.
Living with gaps in your smile creates numerous problems that worsen over time. Food can become trapped and irritate your exposed gum tissue. Adjacent teeth gradually shift into the empty space, disrupting your bite alignment and potentially causing jaw pain. The aesthetic impact affects your confidence, while the functional disruption affects how you eat and speak. Dental implants resolve all these issues with a permanent, complete tooth replacement.
One crucial benefit of dental implants that other tooth replacement options cannot provide is the preservation of jawbone. When teeth are missing, the jawbone in the empty spaces deteriorates due to lack of stimulation. Implants are the only tooth replacement option that stimulates natural bone growth and prevents bone loss, helping maintain your facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance that often occurs with long-term tooth loss.

Our single tooth dental implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in terms of shape, size, and color, providing an aesthetically pleasing and functional solution. They offer the advantage of durability and longevity, with the potential to last a lifetime with proper care.
The procedure for placing a single tooth dental implant typically involves inserting the implant into the jawbone, allowing the bone to heal and integrate with the implant (a process called osseointegration), and then attaching the abutment and crown. The result is a sturdy, stable tooth that lets you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Benefits of single tooth dental implants include improved oral health, prevention of bone loss in the jaw, maintenance of facial structure, and prevention of adjacent teeth from shifting – not to mention the restoration of a beautiful and confident smile.
In certain situations, we can use several implants to build multiple teeth to help you chew and function. We will talk about this treatment in other sections.
A single tooth dental implant is a dental restoration that replaces both the lost natural tooth and its root. It consists of a titanium implant, an abutment, and a crown.
Single tooth dental implants offer a long-lasting, durable solution for tooth loss. They restore function, prevent bone loss, maintain facial structure, and provide a natural-looking restoration.
The procedure typically involves three stages: inserting the implant into the jawbone, allowing time for the bone to heal and integrate with the implant, and then attaching the abutment and crown.
Single tooth dental implants offer numerous benefits, including improved oral health, prevention of bone loss in the jaw, maintenance of facial structure, prevention of adjacent teeth from shifting, and restoration of a beautiful and confident smile.

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the dental implant process is. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during implant placement. For patients with dental anxiety, we offer additional sedation options to help you relax throughout the procedure.
After surgery, you may experience some swelling and mild discomfort, typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our guided surgery approach minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in faster healing and less post-operative discomfort than traditional methods. Most patients report returning to normal activities within a day or two of their procedure.
The timeline for dental implants varies based on your specific situation, but typically spans 3-6 months from start to finish. The initial consultation and 3D planning phase takes 1-2 weeks. The implant surgery itself is usually completed in a single appointment lasting 1-2 hours, depending on the number of implants being placed.
After placement, the implant needs time to integrate with your jawbone—a process called osseointegration that typically takes 3-4 months. Once integration is complete, we’ll place your final restoration, which requires 1-2 additional appointments. Throughout this process, you’ll have temporary restorations to maintain aesthetics and function, minimizing any disruption to your daily life.
