Dental Implants · CBCT-planned · Guided surgery

Replace a tooth so well, you forget which one.

A modern dental implant is titanium precision engineering. We plan every case in 3D, place through a printed surgical guide, and restore with a crown designed to match your remaining teeth — down to the translucency at the incisal edge.

Why implants

The best replacement is the one that acts like a tooth.

Bridges borrow strength from the teeth next to the gap. Removable dentures rest on soft tissue. Implants are the only solution that lives in bone — stabilizing the jaw, protecting adjacent teeth, and behaving like a natural tooth when you chew, speak, and smile.

We place implants in-house — planning, surgery, and the final crown — because the best-fitting restoration comes from the hands that placed the post. Fewer handoffs means tighter margins, cleaner emergence profiles, and far fewer surprises.

Implant surgical planning
Options

From single tooth to full arch.

We'll always recommend the smallest intervention that solves the problem. Here's how we think about each scenario.

Single-tooth implant

One implant, one crown. Replaces a missing tooth without involving neighbors. Most common case.

  • • Typical timeline: 4-6 months
  • • Visits: 3-5
  • • Investment: $4,495 all-in

Implant-supported bridge

Two implants support a three-unit bridge — replacing a larger gap without a removable appliance or grinding down healthy teeth.

  • • Typical timeline: 5-7 months
  • • Visits: 4-6
  • • Investment: $9,800-$11,500

Full-arch (All-on-4/6)

Four to six implants supporting a full fixed bridge. For patients with extensive tooth loss — fixed in place, feels like teeth.

  • • Typical timeline: 4-7 months
  • • Visits: 5-8
  • • Investment: $24,000-$32,000 per arch

Bone grafting

When bone volume is insufficient, we augment before or alongside implant placement. Modern grafting techniques heal in 3-4 months.

  • • Added timeline: +3-4 months
  • • Investment: +$650-$1,800

Sinus lift

For upper back teeth with limited bone height. We gently raise the sinus floor to create room for implant placement.

  • • Added timeline: +4-6 months
  • • Investment: +$1,950-$2,800

Implant overdentures

Two to four implants supporting a snap-on denture — dramatically better retention than traditional dentures, but removable for cleaning.

  • • Typical timeline: 5-6 months
  • • Investment: $12,500-$16,800
Process

Planned in 3D, placed through a guide.

Every implant at Vantara is planned on a CBCT scan before a surgical date is set. Guided surgery means the position, angle, and depth are decided at a desk — not in the chair.

01

Consult, CBCT, scan

3D imaging and intraoral scan captured in a single 60-minute visit. We review bone volume, sinus proximity, and nerve location before recommending anything.

02

Digital surgical plan

Implant position and final crown are planned together in software. We print a surgical guide that physically holds the drill in place during surgery.

03

Placement surgery (~45 min)

Local anesthetic + optional nitrous/oral sedation. Flapless or minimally-flapped. Most patients describe recovery as easier than a tooth extraction.

04

Healing (~3-4 months)

Osseointegration — the implant fuses with bone. You'll wear a temporary where visible. Check-in at week 1 and again at 6 weeks.

05

Final crown placement

Intraoral scan of the healed site. Crown milled by our ceramist, seated 2 weeks later. Matched to adjacent teeth down to the texture.

Candidacy

Who does well. Who needs a different plan.

Implants work exceptionally well for most adults. A few situations need adjusted planning or an alternative approach.

Strong candidates

  • ✓ Adequate bone volume (or graftable deficit)
  • ✓ Healthy gums and controlled periodontal status
  • ✓ Non-smoker or willing to pause during healing
  • ✓ Controlled systemic health (diabetes well-managed, etc.)
  • ✓ Realistic about healing timeline

Conversations we have first

  • ⚠ Active untreated periodontal disease (treat first)
  • ⚠ Current heavy smoking (adds ~15% failure risk)
  • ⚠ History of IV bisphosphonates (special planning)
  • ⚠ Severe bruxism (requires nightguard for protection)
  • ⚠ Ongoing radiation therapy to head/neck

Plan before you commit.

The implant consult is a sixty-minute 3D-imaging and planning conversation. You'll leave with a written plan, a realistic timeline, and a confident number — before anything is scheduled.
