Why implants
The closest thing to natural teeth
Unlike removable bridges or dentures, dental implants are anchored directly in the jaw — so they look, feel, and function like your own teeth. They also help preserve the bone and keep neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.
Because we have specialists in-house, your entire journey happens under one familiar roof. We plan each case carefully and walk you through every step, from consultation to your final, natural-looking restoration.
- Single implants to replace one missing tooth
- Implant-supported bridges for several teeth in a row
- Full-arch All-on-X for a complete, fixed smile
- Bone grafting available when extra support is needed
Built to last a lifetime
A dental implant is a small titanium post that fuses with your jawbone to form a permanent foundation. Topped with a custom crown, bridge, or full arch, it gives you teeth you can trust to eat, speak, and smile with confidence — for decades to come.
The benefits
Why patients choose implants
Implants restore far more than a missing tooth — they bring back the everyday confidence of a complete, healthy smile.
Eat what you love
Restore nearly all of your natural biting and chewing strength — bite into an apple or enjoy a steak again, worry-free.
Protect your jawbone
Implants stimulate and preserve the bone, helping prevent the sunken facial look that can follow missing teeth.
Stay firmly in place
No slipping, no adhesives, no soaking. Implants and All-on-X teeth stay put and are cared for just like natural teeth.
Natural-looking results
Custom restorations are shaped and shaded to blend seamlessly with your smile, so no one will know they aren't your own.
Protect neighboring teeth
Unlike a traditional bridge, an implant stands on its own — no need to grind down the healthy teeth beside the gap.
One team, one location
With in-house specialists, your consultation, placement, and final restoration all happen at Agave — no outside referrals.

Questions
Dental implant FAQ
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates. We evaluate your bone and gums during your consultation, and if you need a little support first, bone grafting can often make implants possible. The best way to know for sure is a one-on-one exam with our team.
What is All-on-X?
All-on-X replaces a full arch of teeth using a small number of strategically placed implants that support a fixed, natural-looking set of teeth. It is a life-changing option for patients missing most or all of their teeth, and it stays firmly in place — no adhesives and no removing it to clean.
Does getting an implant hurt?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. We use gentle techniques and offer sedation options, and any soreness afterward is typically mild and short-lived. Our team will make sure you are at ease from start to finish.
How long do dental implants last?
With good daily care and routine checkups, dental implants are built to last for decades — often a lifetime. The implant fuses with your jawbone to create a strong, stable foundation, and we will show you exactly how to keep it healthy.

Implant options and preparation
The right implant plan depends on your oral health, available bone, and the restoration you need. Digital X-rays, CBCT imaging, and Primescan impressions can help your team assess and plan your care. An examination is needed to determine suitability; treatment and outcomes vary.
- Implant dentures: Options include removable snap-in dentures and fixed restorations. Your team will explain how each option is maintained and cleaned.
- Full-arch options: All-on-4 or All-on-6 approaches may be considered for suitable patients. The number and position of implants depend on your individual plan.
- Full-mouth reconstruction: A coordinated plan can combine procedures to address missing teeth, bite, and function.
Some patients need preparation first
Possible preparatory procedures include removing teeth that cannot be saved, bone grafting, ridge augmentation to rebuild the jaw ridge, or a sinus lift when additional upper-jaw bone support is needed. These are not necessary for everyone and do not guarantee implant eligibility. Your dentist will explain what your assessment shows and the next steps for your care.
