The price of your dental implants will vary based on which type of implant is required (traditional vs. mini). Schedule a consultation with us to get a quote for your implants, and arrange dental financing if necessary.

Do dental implants hurt?

No. A local anesthetic will be given before the procedure so that you do not feel any pain. If you have anxiety or fear related to the procedure, you can discuss sedation options with our dentist.

When cared for properly, implants could last a lifetime. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential to the success of your implant.
