Replacing a missing tooth is more within reach than you might think, with financing options available for as low as $100 a month. Schedule a consultation to find out if you qualify.
Schedule a consultationDental implant surgery involves placing the dental implant into the jawbone to serve as the root of the replacement tooth. The surgical process provides long-term stability while giving you the tooth replacement option most similar to a natural tooth.
We follow a consistent process with every surgical placement, from preparation before the operation to follow-up care after, and we explain each step along the way. Once your implant heals, we complete your implant restoration in the same office.

Dental implant surgery is not one-size-fits-all. The right approach depends on how many teeth are missing and the health of the surrounding bone. Dr. Oliver reviews each option with you at your consultation so the plan fits your mouth, not a template.
One post and one crown replace the tooth without altering neighboring teeth.
Best for: One missing tooth
Replaces: Root and crown
Two or more implants anchor a fixed bridge, so healthy teeth are left alone.
Best for: A few missing teeth in a row
Replaces: Several teeth on fewer posts
Four implants support a full set of fixed teeth with All-on-4 treatment, often in fewer surgical sites.
Best for: A full upper or lower arch
Replaces: All teeth in one arch
Implants snap or lock implant-supported dentures in place for a more stable, secure fit.
Best for: Most or all teeth missing
Replaces: A loose or removable denture
A narrower post that can sometimes avoid additional grafting.
Best for: Limited bone or smaller spaces
Replaces: Single teeth or denture support
That is exactly what your consultation is for. We recommend the most conservative choice that gives you a lasting, natural-feeling result.
During your consultation we take X-rays and review your health to confirm your jaw is ready. You may be a strong candidate if you are missing one or more teeth, or expect to lose a tooth soon, and prefer a long-term replacement over a removable option.
You need enough bone to support an implant. Thin or lost bone does not automatically rule you out, because many patients qualify after a bone graft.
Yes. Healthy gums and reasonably good overall health matter, so we may treat gum disease or decay before surgery.
Tell us about any medications you take or conditions you have, as they may affect the outcome of the surgery and healing.
Good daily oral hygiene and attending your follow-up visits help your implant heal and last.
It is common to feel some anxiety before dental implant surgery. Understanding more about the preparation, surgery, and aftercare can help put you at ease, and we address your concerns at the initial consultation.
Our team examines your mouth and assesses your oral and physical health. We take X-rays to plan the placement of the implant and check whether the jawbone is ready to support it.
The Treatment Process
Your mouth needs to be healthy first. We may recommend bone grafting, gum disease treatment, or fillings, then give you instructions for the night before.
The surgeon makes a small incision in the gum, prepares the jawbone, and positions the implant post where the root of the natural tooth was.
The implant fuses with the surrounding bone through osseointegration. Your dentist may recommend a temporary tooth in the meantime.
Once the implant is ready, we place the abutment and your custom artificial tooth.
Minor swelling, soreness, and bleeding of the gums are common after dental implant surgery. Avoid foods that may irritate the implant site, including hard, very hot or cold, or sugary foods, and choose water over soft drinks, tea, and coffee. We schedule check-up visits to make sure the implant heals well.
The success rate for dental implant surgery is high, and complications are rare. The main ones are nerve damage or injury to an adjacent tooth, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, oral surgery raises the risk of infection. We give you detailed recovery instructions, which may include medication to prevent infection.
Bone loss is a leading cause of implant failure, and it can often be remedied. A bone graft adds several months to the process but greatly improves the chance of success.
Technology
See how we use modern tools across every treatment on our technology page.
A digital scan builds a 3D model of your mouth, so your new tooth can be planned around your bite.
Advanced imaging maps your jaw structure and bone, which guides where the implant goes.
Panoramic X-rays and clear camera images let our providers walk you through their findings, so you know what is happening and why.
Accessible Care
Implant surgery is a cash-pay service at Haratz Dental. Your cost depends on your treatment plan, and we review your plan and fees with you at your consultation.
A single tooth needs one post, while a bridge or full arch needs several.
Some patients need a graft before placement, which adds a step and several months.
The final crown, bridge, or denture that attaches to the implant is part of the plan.
Spread the cost into monthly payments through CareCredit or Cherry, subject to approval.

The procedure itself is done so you are comfortable, and most patients report less discomfort than they expected. Mild soreness or swelling for a few days afterward is normal and manageable with simple care.
Placement is a single appointment, but the implant needs several months to fuse with the bone before the final tooth is attached. The exact timeline depends on your healing and whether a graft is needed.
It depends on the bone and gums at the extraction site. In some cases an implant can be placed soon after the tooth is removed, and in others the area needs a few months to heal or a bone graft first. We check this at your consultation and plan the timing with you.
Many patients still qualify after a bone graft, which rebuilds the area so it can support an implant. We assess this at your consultation and explain whether it applies to you.
With good care, implants are a long-term solution and research shows survival rates above 90 percent even after a decade. Daily hygiene and regular check-ups help them last.
Yes. Depending on how many teeth are missing, options range from an implant-supported bridge to All-on-4 full-arch treatment or implant-supported dentures.
The cost depends on how many implants you need, whether a bone graft is needed first, and the type of tooth that goes on the implant. Implant surgery is cash-pay, and we offer CareCredit, Cherry financing, and an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance. We review your plan and fees at your consultation.
