Replace Missing Teeth With Lifelike Solutions
Dental implants are replacements for your missing tooth roots. These small titanium posts, placed in your jawbone, create a strong foundation for your custom replacement teeth. Over time, these implants fuse with your bone and give you back strong oral function again. You regain almost full chewing power and bite strength. That unique benefit is what sets implants apart from other tooth replacement options. In addition, implants stimulate your jaw like tooth roots, to help prevent the bone loss that can make you look and feel older.
With his advanced training in implants, Dr. Rafferty can perform the entire procedure at his office. He can also perform any surgical procedures that may be needed to prepare your mouth for implants, such as bone grafts.
Your dental implant treatment options include:
- Implant Crowns – An implant-crown combination is a lifelike, standalone solution for a single missing tooth. Dr. Rafferty places a titanium implant into your jawbone, which acts as a new root. Once healed, he attaches a custom-made crown that matches your natural tooth in color and shape.
- Implant Bridges – When you’re missing several teeth in a row, you can get an implant bridge. Unlike a traditional bridge that relies on nearby teeth for support, implant bridges are anchored to two or more implants. This approach preserves your healthy surrounding teeth and jawbone.
- Implant Dentures – You can replace an entire arch of teeth with implant dentures. Dr. Rafferty offers the kind that snap onto implants, allowing for easy removal and cleaning. Or you can have your dentures fixed to your implants for the most secure and natural-feeling solution.
- All-on-4 Dental Implants – This technique allows Dr. Rafferty to replace an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. It’s a secure way to replace missing teeth. The procedure can be completed in less time than other kinds of implant dentures.
- Full-Mouth Reconstruction – If you have extensive dental issues, Dr. Rafferty can perform a full-mouth restoration. Your personalized treatment plan may include multiple procedures such as tooth extraction, bone grafting, and more. Dr. Rafferty’s restorative expertise qualifies him to handle even the most complex cases.
Every implant treatment is performed using state-of-the-art technology, including 3-D CT scans for precise planning and placement. Our Saturday hours and comfortable office environment, complete with blankets and pillows, ensure your procedure is as convenient and relaxing as possible.

Common Questions About Dental Implants
Modern dental implants function as artificial roots for replacement teeth. Implants are anchored directly in your jawbone, like the roots of natural teeth are. Your jaw bonds to the implants to keep them securely in place. This provides a stable support system for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants also stimulate your jawbone, reducing your risk of bone loss, which is common after someone loses teeth.
Dental implants could be removed from your jaw, but there is seldom any reason to do so. Once placed, implants fuse with your jawbone and become one with it. They are designed to last for decades, and maybe even the rest of your life, without requiring any special care or maintenance.
If you are missing any number of teeth, you owe it to yourself to consider getting implants. They are designed to function as artificial roots for your replacement teeth. Implants make crowns, bridges, and dentures more secure. They prevent bone loss by stimulating your jaw, and they restore your biting power so you can eat anything you want.
