“It’s worth it to get implants. I couldn’t live without them—implants are the only way to go. Now I feel like Superwoman!” — Ginger Roberts
You want to eat, laugh, and speak naturally. Dental implants are ideal for anchoring dentures and replacing missing teeth. You’ll find the process surprisingly painless. First, we use macroview digital imaging to examine your mouth and to ensure the implants blend naturally with the rest of your teeth. If bone deterioration is found, we may perform a pre-implant procedure to strengthen it. During the implant process, a small titanium post is placed in the empty space left by a missing tooth. The post bonds with the bone to provide a strong foundation for your new tooth. Sedation dentistry is available if you prefer to go to sleep and wake up with a new smile.
Dental Implants offer a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring the strength, appearance, and function of your smile. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
When a tooth is lost, the change does not stop at the space you can see. Without a tooth root to stimulate the jaw, the bone in that area can gradually diminish. Over time, nearby teeth may shift, and the way your smile fits and functions can change.
A dental implant replaces more than the visible tooth. It restores support below the gumline with an implant designed to function like a tooth root, creating a stable foundation for a natural-looking replacement tooth.
Our dentists have placed thousands of dental implants and have seen what restoring a missing tooth can give back: the confidence to smile without hesitation, the ability to eat comfortably, and the reassurance of knowing the replacement is designed for long-term function.
At Norge Dental Center, implant treatment begins with careful planning, not a one-size-fits-all timeline. We evaluate the health of your mouth, the strength of the supporting bone, the location of the missing tooth or teeth, and what you want your smile to look and feel like. From placement through the final restoration, each stage is thoughtfully planned to create a result that feels secure, functions comfortably, and belongs in your smile.
Our in-office financing options and benefits plans get you one step closer to the smile of your dreams.

Surprisingly, a dental implant procedure is an easy one. There may be slight discomfort after the procedure but most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure.
Determining whether you need a root canal or a filling depends on how deep the decay is. A thorough exam (and sometimes an X-ray) helps us determine whether a filling is enough or if the nerve is affected.
Common signs of cavities may include sensitivity, visible holes, pain when chewing, or staining. Not all cavities cause pain; X-rays help us catch hidden ones early.
With good care, and quality materials, crowns and veneers can last 10–15 years or more. Fillings may last 5–10 years. We’ll teach you how to extend their lifespan.
Great news-dental implants cannot get a cavity! A dental implant still requires care and attention just like natural teeth to keep the gums and bone healthy. With proper home hygiene practices, implants can last a lifetime.
Implants are a permanent, natural-looking way to replace missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post topped with a custom crown that functions just like a real tooth. At Norge Dental Center our dentists have placed thousands of natural looking dental implants.
Fillings repair small areas of decay. Crowns cover the whole tooth when damage is more extensive. We’ll guide you based on your needs.
You may be grinding or clenching your teeth at night (a condition called bruxism). A custom nightguard can protect your smile and reduce discomfort.
