Dental Implants that Feel like Your Own Teeth

Missing teeth don’t just change your smile. They change how you eat, speak, and feel every day. Implants are the most natural way to bring strength and comfort back to your bite, giving you teeth that look real, feel secure, and last for years — almost like turning back time on your smile. Ready to get that back?

That change can look different for everyone.

For some, it’s a single implant to replace one missing tooth. For others, it’s a secure anchor for a bridge or denture that finally feels stable.

Whether you need one tooth or many, we’ll design an implant solution that restores strength, comfort, and confidence made to fit you.

How Implants Work

    Starting with the Root

    The first step in getting an implant is a consultation with Dr. Sudai. We’ll take x-rays to check your bone health and make sure your jaw can support the implant. Most patients are a good fit, but if your case is more complex, Dr. Sudai will guide you to the right specialist to ensure you get the safest and best outcome.

    Finishing the Restoration

    Once your implant has healed and bonded with the bone, it becomes a strong foundation for a new tooth. We then place a custom crown that’s designed to match your natural teeth in both look and feel. This process involves uncovering the implant, taking a precise impression, and creating a crown that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Options for Replacing Several Teeth

Implant-Supported Bridges

A bridge anchored by two or more implants can replace several missing teeth in a row, giving you strength and durability without relying on your natural teeth for support.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Removable dentures can slip or feel unstable. By securing them with a few implants, you’ll gain comfort, confidence, and the ability to chew without worry or concern.

Fixed Implant Dentures

For those with significant tooth loss, a full arch of teeth can be anchored permanently with 4-6 implants. This option provides the most hassle-free solution.
