Dental Implants
Restore Your Smile with Strength and Confidence
At Center Point Dental, our priority is to help you maintain a strong, confident smile—and when a tooth is missing, dental implants are often the best way to restore both health and function. While many people worry about replacing teeth, modern implant dentistry has transformed the process. With advanced technology, precise planning, and a gentle approach, getting an implant can be a straightforward and comfortable experience.
Dr. Flaherty and Dr. Stuart take time to carefully evaluate each patient, ensuring implants are placed with accuracy and designed to look and feel completely natural. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth or multiple teeth, implants provide a long-lasting solution that preserves bone health, protects your facial structure, and keeps your smile strong.
A missing tooth doesn’t have to mean the end of your smile—it can be the start of a stronger, more confident one. At Center Point Dental, we’re here to guide you through every step, making the process safe, supportive, and worry-free.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are permanent replacements for missing teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Each implant consists of a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, which serves as an artificial root. Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore your smile’s full appearance and function.
Implants not only fill gaps—they also help prevent bone loss, maintain your bite alignment, and provide the confidence of a secure, stable restoration.

Types of Dental Implants
At Center Point Dental, our goal is to protect your oral health and restore your smile when teeth are missing. Dental implants offer a reliable, long-term solution that can improve both function and appearance. With personalized care from Dr. Stuart and Dr. Flaherty, the process is designed to be comfortable and supportive, helping you enjoy the lasting benefits of a stronger, healthier smile.
Single-Tooth Implants
If you’re missing just one tooth, a single implant topped with a custom crown can replace it seamlessly—without affecting the surrounding teeth. The result is a natural-looking, fully functional restoration that blends perfectly with your smile.
Implant-Supported Bridge
For patients missing multiple teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge uses two or more implants to anchor a series of connected crowns. This approach avoids the need to alter healthy neighboring teeth and provides strong, stable support.
Fixed Full Arch Implants
Also known as All-on-4 or full-arch implant restorations, this option replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth using just a few strategically placed implants. The result is a full, secure, and beautiful smile that feels natural and allows you to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures combine the stability of implants with the convenience of removable dentures. By securing a denture to several implant posts, this option eliminates slipping or shifting, providing greater comfort and chewing power than traditional dentures.
