Dental Implants

A stable replacement for missing teeth

Dental implants replace the roots of missing teeth and support a crown, bridge, or denture. At Silverlake Dental Group, Dr. Joshua Barkhordar and our specialists coordinate implant care so your replacement teeth fit your health, your bite, and your goals. An implant consultation helps establish whether this approach is right for you.

Planning your treatment

We assess your gums, remaining teeth, and jawbone, review your medical history, and use imaging when needed. Some patients need bone grafting or gum treatment before implant placement. Others may benefit from an implant-supported bridge or a full-arch restoration rather than replacing each tooth separately.

Placement and ongoing care

Implant treatment usually involves several stages, including placement, healing, and fitting the final restoration. Timing varies with the condition of your bone and the type of treatment. We explain comfort options and give you instructions for each stage. Brushing, cleaning around the implant, and regular professional visits remain essential: an implant does not eliminate the need to care for your gums.
