Dental implants are a popular tooth replacement because they look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They provide a stable, long-lasting solution that helps preserve jawbone health and makes eating and speaking easier for many patients compared to traditional dentures or bridges.

Dental implants provide a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Implants are titanium posts placed in the jawbone to support artificial teeth, providing a secure, natural feel without slipping or affecting neighboring teeth.
They restore function while helping preserve your jawbone and facial structure. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. You gain both improved oral health and renewed confidence in your smile.
At Humlicek Dental, we specialize in dental implants to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even dentures. Dr. Humlicek has completed advanced training in dental implants, gaining her fellowship through Implant Pathways.

Process of Dental Implants
- Consultation and exam: A full evaluation to confirm candidacy and plan treatment
- Tooth extraction and bone graft (if needed): Prepares the site for implant placement
- Implant placement: A titanium post is surgically placed in the jaw
- Healing phase: The bone fuses with the implant (osseointegration), usually over three months
- Abutment and crown: A connector (abutment) is attached, and a custom crown is crafted and placed for a natural, functional smile

Dental Implant Aftercare
- After your implant procedure, our team will review proper brushing and flossing techniques to keep the implant healthy
- For the first few days, stick to soft foods and avoid brushing directly on the implant site for about a week
- If you had an extraction, the sutures will dissolve on their own
- Be sure to complete any prescribed medications and avoid spitting forcefully, using straws, or smoking, as these can disrupt healing
- Following these steps will support a smooth recovery and long-lasting results
