Dental implants are the most permanent and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth, and missing teeth affect how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. We offer the full range of implant care in one welcoming office, from single tooth implants to full arch restorations, with consultations that walk you through every option clearly and honestly.
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in your jawbone where a tooth root used to be. After healing, the post fuses with your bone and provides a strong, permanent foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture. Unlike traditional bridges or removable dentures, implants don't rely on neighboring teeth for support and they help preserve the bone in your jaw.
For most patients, implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. They let you eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile freely. With proper care, dental implants can last decades, often for the rest of your life. If you're weighing implants against other tooth replacement options, a consultation lays out the honest pros and cons of each.

With proper care, dental implants can last decades, often for the rest of your life. The titanium post fuses with your jawbone, and the crown on top typically lasts 10 to 15 years or longer before needing replacement. Regular checkups and good home care are what protect the investment.
Most patients report far less discomfort than they expected. Placement is done with local anesthetic using precise, minimally invasive techniques, and soreness afterward is usually managed with over-the-counter pain relief for a few days.
Cost depends on how many teeth are being replaced, whether bone grafting is needed, and the type of restoration. At your consultation, Dr. Collins walks through the exact cost for your case before anything begins, and payment plans are available.
Most cases take three to six months from placement to final restoration, because the implant needs time to fuse with your jawbone. Some situations move faster and some take longer. Your treatment plan lays out the timeline for your specific case.
Dr. Collins completed the AAID MaxiCourse, a 300-hour continuing education program in implant dentistry run by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry that combines lectures with hands-on surgical training. He places and restores implants at our Springfield office, and refers to trusted local oral surgeons when a case calls for bone grafting or specialist care.
Most adults with healthy gums and adequate jawbone are good candidates for dental implants. If your bone needs strengthening first, we coordinate bone grafting with trusted local oral surgeons. A consultation at our Springfield office with 3D imaging gives you a clear answer.
