What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Whether single, multiple, implant-supported, or full-mouth dental implants, they mimic the natural functionality of teeth with a screw, abutment, and crown. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, which prevents bone loss. The screw helps stabilize the bone structure, while the abutment is a connector piece that securely holds the screw and dental crown in place. They act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for:

Types of Dental Implant Solutions
At Nevada Oral & Facial Surgery, we offer customized implant treatments to fit every patient’s needs:
Ideal for replacing one missing tooth, blending seamlessly with your natural smile.
An implant-supported bridge is a fixed solution for multiple missing teeth in a row. Unlike traditional bridges, implant-supported versions don’t rely on neighboring teeth, providing better stability and preventing bone loss.
All-on-4® implants implants are a full-arch restoration solution that places four implants per jaw to support a full set of teeth.
For severe jawbone loss, zygomatic implants use the cheekbone instead of the jaw for secure implant placement.

We Offer a Metal-Free Alternative
To Titanium Implants
While titanium implants are the gold standard in implant dentistry for their strength and durability, we understand they’re not the right fit for everyone. We proudly offer zirconia dental implants for our patients with metal sensitivities or those seeking a completely metal-free alternative.
These high-quality ceramic implants are biocompatible and hypoallergenic and offer a natural-looking, holistic option without compromising strength or longevity. Whether you’re unable to tolerate titanium or simply prefer a metal-free solution, zirconia implants provide a safe, strong, and aesthetically pleasing option for restoring your smile.

Proof & Results: Real Results from Dental Implant Patients in Las Vegas

Dental Implants Placed
Serving Las Vegas Community
We had a great experience with Nevada Oral Facial Surgery. Dr. Hunter and his staff were amazing. They treated my daughter with great care and were there to answer any questions we had. Derrick was especially helpful with our pre surgical consult. The day of the surgery, Dr. Hunter was quick to put my daughter at ease. His staff sent us home with detailed care information and called us later that day to check in on us. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hunter to my family and friends.
I had to get an extraction and graft for an implant, Dr. Johnson preformed the procedure and it was a fantastic experience for an otherwise painful situation. The office was clean, professional and the staff, especially Madrene, were so friendly and helped put me at ease. The surgery went smoothly and I had minimal pain afterward thanks to the great care. Highly recommend NV Oral & Facial Surgery!
I am so glad that my dentist recommended this office. I came in for a consultation in January for an implant. The people in the office are so nice and professional. They make you feel at home. This has been a difficult time for me – missing a tooth for 6 months – and they have made me feel so much better. Katlyn went over and beyond by calling in my prescriptions (I was told to do this prior and failed ). I can’t say enough about everyone in this office. They’re awesome!

What to Expect with Dental Implants
-
1Dental Implant Consultation & Planning
We’ll begin your teeth replacement in Henderson, NV with a comprehensive discussion addressing your dental and medical history. During your consultation, we’ll obtain X-rays and digital diagnostics to assess your oral health and see if you need additional procedures such as bone grafting or a tooth extraction. We’ll discuss your smile aspirations and what you want from your treatment outcome. With this information, we’ll create a customized treatment plan we will follow when placing your dental implants.
-
2
Surgery Day
Once your treatment plan is completed, we will schedule you for your dental implant surgery. Our oral surgeons will begin your dental implant surgery by placing one or more dental implants into the predetermined spot(s) at a 45-degree angle within your jawbone. If your surgery calls for one tooth replacement in Las Vegas, NV, you will leave the same day with your dental crown. If your surgery is for full-mouth dental implants, we’ll attach your temporary restoration same-day! This restoration will allow you to enjoy your brand-new smile’s benefits while your mouth heals.
-
3
Healing & Final Restorations
As with any oral surgery, you may experience discomfort, swelling, and slight bruising at the implant site. Before you leave, we’ll provide and review important aftercare instructions to help ensure proper healing and prevent complications.
Over the next 4-6 months, dental implants will fuse with your jawbone through osseointegration. Once complete, your implants will be strong enough to support your final restoration. Once your prosthesis is placed, you can enjoy a life without dietary restrictions, incomplete smiles, and self-consciousness. You’ll be able to smile confidently and enjoy life with a complete smile for decades to come!
What To Expect After the Dental Implant Procedure
Your journey to a restored smile doesn’t end when you leave our office. We’re with you every step of the way to ensure a smooth recovery and a successful outcome. While the recovery timeline varies, here’s a general overview of what you can expect.
First Few Weeks
During the first few weeks, it’s normal to experience mild swelling and discomfort at the implant site. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to help manage this, including guidance on pain relief and oral hygiene. You should stick to a diet of soft foods and avoid chewing in the surgical area to promote proper healing.
Over the next three to six months, a crucial process called osseointegration will occur, where
the implant gradually fuses with your jawbone. This makes the implant a strong, permanent
anchor for your new teeth. We’ll schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure
everything is progressing as planned. Once the implant is fully integrated, your custom crown,
bridge, or denture will be securely attached.
With proper care and regular check-ups, your new smile can last for decades to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, implants can last over 20 years, making them a long-term investment in your smile.
-
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
Most patients report minimal pain, thanks to anesthesia and sedation options. Post-surgery discomfort can be managed with medication.
-
Can I get implants if I have bone loss?
Absolutely. Even if you’ve been told elsewhere that implants aren’t possible, our team at Nevada Oral & Facial Surgery has the expertise to make it happen. With more than 7,000 arches successfully completed, we specialize in advanced solutions like bone grafting, zygomatic implants, and the All-on-4® technique. Our extensive experience treating complex cases means that patients who thought they had no options often discover that a confident, lasting smile is still within reach.
-
What is a single-tooth dental implant?
A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth with a titanium or zirconia post, an abutment, and a custom crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Read in detail about single-tooth dental implants.
-
How much do dental implants cost, and are financing options available?
Dental implant treatment is customized for each patient, so costs can vary depending on your specific needs. Factors such as bone health, whether additional procedures are required, the number of surgical stages involved, sedation needs, and insurance coverage all play a role in determining overall treatment cost.
Financing options are available for qualifying patients, and our team will review all available options during your consultation to help make treatment as accessible as possible.
-
How to prepare for a dental implant procedure?
To prepare for a dental implant procedure, we’ll start with a full consultation and 3D imaging to assess your oral health. You may need preliminary treatments like extractions or bone grafting, and we’ll provide tailored pre-surgery instructions to ensure the best outcome. Learn about the complete dental implant process here.
-
Who is a candidate for dental implants?
You may be a candidate for dental implants if you:
- Have one or more missing or non-restorable teeth
- Have healthy gums and practice good oral hygiene
- Have adequate jawbone, or can be considered for bone grafting or a sinus lift
- Are an adult with fully developed jaws
- Have well-controlled medical conditions
- Do not smoke, or can pause during the healing period
Some patients will need preparatory care first if they have active gum disease, infection, heavy smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or take medications that affect bone healing.
-
Are dental implants safe?
Yes. Dental implants are a time-tested, FDA-approved solution. While any surgery carries minor risks, our use of 3D CT scans allows us to plan your procedure with extreme precision, avoiding nerves and sinuses.
-
What is the risk of implant failure?
Dental implants have a good success rate. Failure is rare but is typically linked to underlying health conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or smoking, which we screen for during your consultation.
-
Can my body reject the implant?
Implants are made of biocompatible titanium or zirconia, so “rejection” in the traditional sense is rare. We also offer zirconia (metal-free) options for patients with specific metal sensitivities.
-
How do you prevent nerve damage?
We use computer-guided surgery to map your facial anatomy in 3D before the first incision is made. This “digital roadmap” ensures the implant is placed safely away from all vital nerves.
-
What is included in Stage I and Stage II of dental implant treatment?
Dental implant treatment is typically completed in stages:
- Stage I involves the surgical placement of the dental implant into the jawbone, where it functions as an artificial tooth root.
- Stage II prepares the implant for the final restoration and may include placement of the connector component that allows the implant to support a crown.
Together, these stages complete the surgical portion of the implant process. The exact sequence and number of stages may vary based on individual healing and anatomical factors.
-
Is the crown included in dental implant treatment?
The surgical phases of dental implant treatment focus on placing and preparing the implant itself. The final crown is typically planned as a separate phase of treatment.
Before any care begins, you will receive a personalized treatment plan outlining each stage, what is included, and the recommended next steps. Our team will review everything with you during your consultation so you can make an informed decision with a clear understanding of the full process.
-
Do dental implant costs vary by patient?
Yes. Dental implant treatment is highly individualized. Costs may vary based on factors such as bone density, the need for bone grafting, whether certain surgical stages can be combined or skipped, sedation requirements, healing timelines, and insurance considerations.
A comprehensive consultation allows our specialists to evaluate your unique case and create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
At Nevada Oral & Facial Surgery, we frequently evaluate patients who were previously told implants were not an option because of bone loss. With specialist training, advanced imaging, and reconstructive techniques (including bone grafting, sinus lifts, All-on-4®, and zygomatic implants), plus a depth of experience—more than 7,000 arches placed—we are often able to offer implant solutions in challenging cases. Your surgeon will review your scan and medical history and recommend the safest, most effective pathway to restore your smile. Learn more about dental implant candidacy here.
