A missing tooth affects more than your smile. It can change how you eat, how you speak, and even the shape of your face over time. Unlike a bridge or denture, a dental implant replaces the whole tooth, root and all, so it looks, feels, and works like the real thing.
At Parkway Dental Care, Dr. Song uses 3D imaging to plan every implant precisely, and walks you through each step so you always know what to expect. The result is a strong, comfortable tooth that can last a lifetime.
Whether you are missing one tooth or several, an implant can also anchor a bridge or secure a loose denture so it never slips. We will help you find the right option for your smile and your budget.
A small titanium post is placed in the jaw, acting as a sturdy new tooth root.
A connector, called an abutment, joins the post securely to your new crown.
A custom crown, matched to your teeth, completes the implant. It looks and feels natural.
Whether you are missing a single tooth or your entire smile needs rebuilding, there is an implant-based option built for it.
A single implant post and crown, the most straightforward option, restoring one tooth without touching the ones beside it.
A small bridge anchored to two or more implants can replace several teeth in a row without relying on your natural teeth for support.
An implant-supported denture anchors a complete upper or lower arch to a handful of implants, giving you a smile that never slips or clicks. For patients who want a simpler procedure, mini implants, a smaller-diameter option, can also secure a denture with less treatment time. Dr. Song will help you find the right fit at your consultation.
Your crown is matched to the shape and shade of your own teeth.
Implants are anchored in the jaw, so you can bite and chew with full confidence.
The post stimulates the bone, helping prevent the bone loss that follows a missing tooth.
No special routine. Just brush and floss like you would a natural tooth.
Unlike a bridge, an implant does not rely on grinding down healthy neighbors.
With good care, an implant can last for decades, often a lifetime.
Every smile is different. Here is an honest look at how the main options compare, so you can choose what is right for you.
