What Are Dental Implants?

A lifelike tooth replacement built on a titanium root

Dental implants are an excellent option for replacing missing teeth, securing bridges or attaching full-arch dentures. A titanium post and connector bond directly with the jawbone to create a sturdy base for the visible crown or restoration.

Living without one or more teeth can affect health, confidence, natural speech and the foods you can eat. Temporary replacements such as bridges or dentures can fill a gap, but may not look or feel like natural teeth and can place stress on otherwise healthy supporting teeth.

Untreated tooth loss can also contribute to bone loss and deterioration in facial structure. Dr. Kevin Krause and his associates use implants to replace one tooth or many teeth with a durable, attractive solution designed to mimic natural tooth structure and help you smile, laugh and eat confidently.

  • Replace the root and visible portion of a missing tooth.
  • Protect healthy neighboring teeth from unnecessary support work.
  • Restore stable function with a natural-looking result.

Your Dental Implant Process

Precision-planned treatment from surgery through restoration

Full-scope care keeps every stage coordinated in the Venice office, including diagnostics, guided surgery, grafting when required and placement of the final custom restoration.

Consultation and 3D imaging

Evaluate oral health, bone anatomy and goals, then digitally plan a safe, precise implant position.

Prepare the site

Remove failing teeth and complete bone grafting when needed; extraction and implant placement can often occur during the same visit.

Guided implant placement

Place the titanium post using the digital plan to establish a stable replacement root.

Four-to-six-month integration

Allow the implant to fuse with the jawbone and form a solid connection.

Final restoration

Attach the appropriate lifelike crown, bridge, denture or full-arch restoration and verify the fit and bite.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implants

Feel informed about your custom implant plan

Whether one implant replaces a tooth or several support a bridge or fixed denture, the team wants your questions answered before treatment.

How do dental implants work?

A titanium screw acts as a tooth root and supports a lifelike crown, full arch or denture restoration. It integrates with bone over approximately four to six months before the appropriate restoration is permanently attached.

Why choose dental implants over other options?

Implants replace tooth roots, preserve neighboring teeth and help stimulate bone while providing stable support that feels more natural than many temporary alternatives.

Is the implant process painful?

Local anesthesia and available comfort options help make treatment manageable. Temporary tenderness is expected after surgery, and the team provides personalized recovery instructions.

Why is 3D imaging important?

Three-dimensional imaging reveals bone volume and nearby anatomy, allowing guided planning for safer, more precise implant placement.

What if I have bone loss in the jaw?

Bone loss does not automatically rule out implants. Bone grafting may rebuild support and help create an appropriate implant foundation.

How much do implants cost?

Cost depends on implant number, restoration type and supporting procedures. A consultation provides a plan based on your health, function and goals.

Will my insurance cover implants?

Coverage varies by plan and procedure. The team can help review benefits and discuss available payment considerations.

How long is the implant process?

The schedule depends on healing and any preparatory care. Integration alone commonly takes about four to six months before final restoration.

How do I care for my dental implants?

Brush, clean around the restoration and implant as directed, maintain professional visits and avoid habits that can damage teeth or restorations.

How do I get the implant process started?

Begin with a personalized consultation, diagnostic imaging and a review of your medical history, oral health and replacement goals.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Candidacy depends on general health, oral disease control, bone support and healing factors. A clinical and 3D evaluation provides the answer.

How long does a dental implant last?

The implant can last a lifetime with proper care, although crowns and other restorative components may eventually need maintenance or replacement.
