Tooth Replacement
A permanent replacement that looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth.
How We Can Help
Losing a tooth — whether from injury, decay, or extraction — affects more than just your smile. It can change how you chew, how you speak, and how you feel about yourself. At Briarwood Dental, dental implants are our preferred long-term solution because they function and feel exactly like natural teeth. We'll walk you through candidacy, the process, and what recovery looks like so there are no surprises.

Understanding the details — everything you need to know about each procedure
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a replacement root for a missing tooth. Once it integrates with the bone, a custom crown is attached on top — creating a restoration that looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth.
Implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement because they address the root of the problem — literally. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants stimulate the jawbone to prevent bone loss and do not require alteration of surrounding teeth.
Why patients choose implants
Dental implants are suitable for most healthy adults missing one or more teeth. Good candidates have adequate bone density, healthy gums, and no conditions that would impair healing. We will evaluate you thoroughly and discuss all your options.
