Dental implants consist of two main parts: the implant (a small artificial root placed in the jawbone) and the custom-made tooth attached to it. The implant is placed into the jawbone using local anesthesia, making the procedure comfortable and pain-free. After about 12 weeks, the implant integrates with the bone. Once healed, Dr. Wilhite will attach the custom tooth to the implant. Follow-up appointments ensure proper fit and comfort, providing a natural-looking, long-lasting solution for missing teeth.
A missing tooth can be detrimental to your confidence and can leave you feeling embarrassed and insecure about your smile. If you want to restore your confidence and flaunt your smile, a dental implant procedure may be the perfect option for you.
Getting a dental implant is an oral surgery procedure. It is a safe and reliable way to fill in your missing teeth with natural-looking replacements. With dental implants, you can restore your smile and make it look as if you never had any teeth missing in the first place.

How Dental Implants Work
Reasons to Choose Dental Implants
What to Expect With Dental Implants
If you’ve made up your mind to get dental implants, here’s what to expect:
The Dental Implant Process
The process begins with the initial consultation to determine if the dental implant method is the best solution. This is followed by taking impressions of your teeth and jawbone with visual scanners that are used to make the crown. During the implant surgery procedure, a titanium post will be inserted into your jawbone. A temporary crown is put in place while you wait for it to heal and fuse with your jawbone before the permanent crown is placed on top.
Dental Implant Cost
The cost of implant surgery varies depending on the number of implants and the complexity of your treatment plan. Your dentist will discuss all relevant expenses with you beforehand, including dental implant insurance coverage.
Recovery period
Your implants are expected to heal completely within three to six months. However, the initial fusing of the implant to the jawbone happens within seven to ten days of surgery.
Why Choose Dr. Wilhite?

Dr. Wilhite is amazing. I have gone to many dentists in my 40 years but none have helped me the way he has. He takes time to do things right and is knowledgeable about things you would think only your medical doctor would know about. If you want a truly healthy mouth, not just clean, Dr. Wilhite is the dentist to go to. I recommend him to everyone I know. Plus, his hygienists and staff are super friendly. I have been coming here for years and won't be changing until he retires!
Dr. Wilhite and his staff are amazing! They have taken care of my teeth (and my husband's) for over 10 years, and we wouldn't go anywhere else. His staff is extremely patient and courteous, and Dr. Wilhite always takes the time to explain both what he is doing and why. When I needed extensive dental work right after the birth of our daughter, Dr. Wilhite and his staff were extremely supportive and attentive throughout the entire process. As they do in all situations, they went the extra mile in that case to make sure that they coordinated with my doctor so that the medications they provided wouldn't cause negative side effects for me or our newborn. Dr. Wilhite and his team made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the entire experience, and I couldn't be more please with the way my smile turned out!
Dr. Wilhite and his wonderful staff have helped me and my family maintain the best possible dental health. For me, I finally decided to wear braces and get my bite corrected and, with a few needed maintenance procedures, can say that my teeth and gums have never been in better shape (at +60 years old, that is a blessing).We always feel like members of a family when we come in. The staff is so personal and welcoming. Good dental health is a journey. Dr. Wilhite and his staff are there for us ever step of the way.
