Complete Options to Rebuild Your Smile
No two smiles are alike, so we offer a full spectrum of implant and denture treatments. Together we’ll weigh your goals, your budget, and your oral health to land on the approach that suits you best.
- Single Dental Implants A titanium post set into the jaw supports a custom crown, replacing one missing tooth with a result that blends in and works like the real thing.
- Implant-Supported Bridges Several replacement teeth anchor to implants instead of natural teeth — a sturdy fix when a few teeth in a row are gone.
- All-on-4® and All-on-6® Implants Just four or six precisely placed implants can carry a complete upper or lower arch of fixed teeth.
- Implant-Supported Dentures Dentures that clip onto implants for a firm hold, stronger chewing, and none of the slipping that comes with adhesives.
- Traditional Bridges & Dentures For patients who prefer or need a non-implant route, we craft custom full or partial dentures and fixed bridges.
Advanced Technology for Precise, Comfortable Care
Up-to-date diagnostic and planning tools keep every step — from your first scan to the final restoration — accurate, efficient, and easy on you.
- Cone Beam CT scanning for detailed 3D views of your jawbone and nerves.
- Panoramic and digital X-rays that capture your whole mouth and facial structures.
- Intraoral scanners and digital impressions that skip the messy trays.
- CAD/CAM and CEREC technology for precisely designed, same-day restorations when appropriate.
- 3D planning software that maps implant placement for safe, predictable results.
What to Expect During the Implant Process
Most implant treatment begins with a consultation and exam, where we check your gums and jawbone, listen to your goals, and confirm that implants are the right fit. From there, the path usually looks like this:
- An initial consultation and evaluation
- 3D imaging and a detailed, personalized treatment plan
- Placement of the implant post
- A healing period while the implant fuses with the jawbone
- Your custom crown, bridge, or denture to complete the smile
If the bone has thinned after tooth loss, a bone graft can rebuild the support an implant needs. Patients replacing a full arch can also ask about implant-supported dentures.

The short answer
A dental implant is a titanium post set into the jawbone that supports a custom crown, bridge or denture, replacing a missing tooth from the root up. Treatment usually moves from a consultation and exam, through 3D imaging and a personalized plan, to placement of the post, a healing period while it fuses with the bone, and then the final restoration. Implants replace a single tooth, anchor a bridge across several missing teeth or hold a full arch on four or six implants, with a bone graft where bone has thinned.
Dental Implants: Frequently Asked Questions
- Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
- Most healthy adults with enough jawbone to anchor a post are good candidates for dental implants. At a consultation your dentist reviews your medical history, takes 3D images and talks through your goals. Together you decide whether implants, a bridge, dentures or a combination suits you.
- What is the difference between All-on-4 and traditional implants?
- Traditional implants usually replace a single tooth or support a small bridge, while All-on-4 and All-on-6 use four or six posts to carry an entire arch. This approach can shorten treatment time and lower cost while still giving you a fixed set of teeth. Unlike a conventional denture, the arch does not come out.
- Are implant-supported dentures removable?
- Implant-supported dentures can be removable or fixed, depending on your treatment plan. Some snap on and off the implants so you can clean them easily. Others stay fixed and are only removed at the office, and your dentist will walk through both so you can choose the style that matches your routine.
- Will getting dental implants hurt?
- Implant placement is done with local anesthesia, so the area is numb during the procedure. Comfort options are available to help you relax. Any tenderness afterward is usually handled with over-the-counter pain relievers.
- Do dental implants look natural?
- Yes, dental implants look natural. The crown, bridge or denture on top is matched to the color, shape and size of your surrounding teeth. That way it blends into your smile rather than standing out.
- How do I care for dental implants?
- Care for dental implants much like natural teeth, by brushing and flossing every day and keeping up with routine checkups. Healthy gums are especially important to the long-term success of an implant. Steering clear of habits like smoking also helps protect the implant and the gum and bone around it.
- How long do dental implants last?
- How long dental implants last depends largely on how well they are cared for. Consistent brushing and flossing, routine checkups and steering clear of habits like smoking all help protect the implant. Those habits also keep the surrounding gum and bone healthy, which the implant relies on for support.
- What if I don’t have enough bone for implants?
- If the jawbone has thinned after tooth loss, a bone graft or similar step can rebuild the support an implant needs. Cone beam CT imaging shows the jawbone in 3D before anything is planned. In some cases, an approach like All-on-4 is designed to make the most of the bone you already have and avoid grafting.
- Do bridges or dentures damage surrounding teeth?
- A traditional bridge leans on the neighboring teeth for support, which means those teeth have to be reshaped. Implant-based options stand on their own without involving adjacent teeth. That helps preserve your natural tooth structure and jawbone.
- How long does the implant process take?
- How long the implant process takes depends on your case. A single implant may take several months from placement to the final crown, because the post needs time to fuse with the jawbone. All-on-4 or implant dentures can sometimes move faster, and you’ll get a personalized timeline before treatment begins.
- Will my insurance cover dental implants or dentures?
- Coverage for implants and dentures varies from plan to plan. Many policies contribute toward exams, X-rays, extractions, dentures or crowns but limit coverage on the implant posts themselves. The office is in network with Delta Dental and accepts many other plans. Your benefits are reviewed, your out-of-pocket cost is estimated and third-party financing is explained so treatment is easier to manage.
- Do you see patients from outside Mequon?
- Yes, patients come from outside Mequon. The office is in Mequon, Wisconsin, and regularly welcomes patients from Milwaukee, Thiensville, Cedarburg, Grafton and the surrounding communities. If you’re considering implants or tooth replacement, reach out and the team will help you get started.
