What are Dental Implants?
Tooth implants are artificial tooth roots, typically titanium, designed to provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth. These implants integrate with your jawbone and serve as a base for attaching crowns, bridges, or dentures. The result is a natural-looking and durable restoration that mimics the strength and appearance of natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Durability and Stability: Once integrated, dental implants provide a stable foundation that can last many years with proper care.
- Improved Aesthetics: We customize implants to look and feel like your natural teeth, enhancing your smile and boosting your confidence.
- Preservation of Jawbone: Tooth implants help prevent bone loss, a common issue when teeth are missing.
- Enhanced Functionality: Unlike removable dentures, implants allow you to eat, speak, and laugh easily, free from the worry of slippage.
- Support for Facial Structure: Implants help preserve facial contours by maintaining bone structure, preventing the "sunken" look often associated with missing teeth.
The Dental Implant Process
-
1. Initial Consultation:
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which we assess your oral health, take necessary X-rays, and discuss your treatment options. -
2. Treatment Planning:
Using state-of-the-art technology, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals. -
3. Implant Placement:
The implant is surgically placed into your jawbone. This procedure is typically completed under local anesthesia, ensuring comfort. -
4. Healing and Osseointegration:
Over the following months, the implant integrates with the bone in an osseointegration process, providing a stable foundation for the new tooth. -
5. Abutment and Crown Placement:
Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown is fitted, completing the restoration.
Who is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most individuals in good overall health are candidates for dental implants. Key considerations include:
- Sufficient bone density to support the implant
- Healthy gum tissue

Caring for Your Dental Implants
The long-term success of dental implants relies on a robust oral hygiene routine and regular dental check-ups. Basic care includes:

Most people dread going to the dentist, I certainly did, until I went to Dr Kest. Dr Kest has been competent and personable from day one. I look forward to going ever since I first started. Dr Kest has assembled a very talented, caring, dedicated team. Dr Tomasi is accomplished and attentive. Sandy is an excellent and patient hygienist. The office staff are courteous and efficient. In dentistry, Dr Kest, Dr Tomasi and team are the best of the best. Thank you.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kest and Dr. Tomasi for well over 30 years. The staff is friendly and the office is very nice and very clean. I’ve had lots of dental work there including crowns, veneers, and Invisalign. Dr. Tomasi is more recent in the office and she is extremely knowledgeable, caring , and gentle. I trust her judgment and care.

I’ve been a patient for more years than I can count! Always a pleasure coming to Dr.Kests office, from his office receptionists to dental hygienists… always kind and polite and they take the best care of you! Dr.Tomasi was our saving grace/angel who didn’t like the way my daughters canker sore looked and sent her to get another look… it was biopsies, and we found she had tongue cancer! Non smoker, and only 25 years old! They caught it quick enough where she is in remission and checked every 6 months by her surgeon! Amazing! I recommend Dr.Kest and Dr.Tomasi to everyone! 5 plus stars!
