Dental Implants

Missing teeth can affect how you chew, speak, and feel about your appearance. Dental implants offer a stable, natural-looking way to rebuild your smile without relying on neighboring teeth for support.

At Anantuni Dental, Dr. Sandhya Anantuni uses advanced implant training and in-office 3D imaging to carefully plan each stage of treatment.

What Are
Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium or zirconia post placed into the jawbone. It acts as an artificial tooth root and supports a custom dental crown.

During healing, the implant integrates with the surrounding bone. Once the area is ready, the crown is attached to restore the visible part of the tooth. The completed restoration is designed to look, feel, and function much like a natural tooth.

Unlike a traditional bridge, an implant stands independently and does not require neighboring teeth for support.

Precise Planning With 3D Imaging

Dr. Anantuni holds AIC Implant Certification and uses an in-office CBCT system to capture detailed, three-dimensional images of your jaw. This technology helps her evaluate:

  • Available bone height, width, and density
  • Nearby nerves and tooth roots
  • The proposed implant location
  • How the final crown will fit within your smile

This information supports precise, anatomy-based planning before treatment begins.

The Dental Implant Process

Your treatment timeline will be based on your health, anatomy, and individual needs.

Consultation

Dr. Anantuni reviews your oral health, medical history, bone structure, and goals.

Digital Planning

CBCT imaging helps determine the implant’s position and whether preparatory care is needed.

Implant Placement

The post is carefully placed within the jawbone.

Healing

The implant integrates with the surrounding bone over several months.

Final Crown

iTero® scanning and custom shade selection help create a crown that blends with your smile.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants can provide:

  • A fixed, independently supported replacement tooth
  • Natural-looking results customized to your smile
  • Improved chewing function and confidence
  • No need to use neighboring teeth for support
  • Stimulation that helps maintain the jawbone
  • Long-term durability with proper care

Healing and Long-Term Care

Dr. Anantuni will monitor your healing before placing the final crown. Because healing varies, she will provide a timeline based on your progress rather than a standard estimate.

Once restored, your implant becomes part of your regular oral hygiene routine. Brush around the crown, floss as directed, and attend routine examinations and cleanings. A nightguard may be recommended if you grind or clench your teeth.

Although the implant cannot develop a cavity, the surrounding tissue and bone still require consistent care.
