Dental Implants
Dental implants are a popular and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth, offering a secure fit without altering the surrounding natural teeth.
Even with advances in modern dentistry, countless Americans still experience tooth loss—most often caused by decay, gum disease, or trauma. In the past, the primary solutions were dentures or dental bridges. However, today’s patients have access to a wider range of effective tooth replacement options thanks to modern dental innovations.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are considered the most long-lasting and reliable option for replacing missing teeth. They take advantage of titanium’s unique ability to bond with bone tissue. The process begins by placing a small titanium post into the jawbone. Over the course of a few months, the bone integrates with the implant, creating a secure and stable foundation. Once healing is complete, a custom crown is attached to the implant, mimicking the look and function of a natural tooth. While this method takes more time than creating conventional dentures or bridges, it offers superior strength and boasts a long-term success rate of over 90%.

They have a true passion for their profession
“There are very few dentists that I feel have a true passion for their profession, but it was immediately obvious to me that Dr. Judy is one! I have seen dentists that rush through their work to see as many patients as possible, or present treatment plans that seem unrealistic and possibly not necessary. At Dr.Judy's, I have never felt rushed through my appointments Dr.Judy and his staff always take time to check every aspect of my dental needs, answer my questions and are very thorough with explaining any concerns I have and options of treatment. He has provided me with some long needed cosmetic work that far exceeded my expectations! It was immediately obvious during my appointments how meticulous and knowledgeable he is, giving particular attention to detail and with such a gentle touch! I feel very blessed to have found this office and strongly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional dentist to call and make an appointment to meet him and his staff!
Patient since Sept. 2020”
