Implants At Harbor Dental
Implants serve as a robust and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. Each implant consists of a titanium post that substitutes the tooth root, an abutment that connects the components, and a crown that mimics a natural tooth. If you are missing teeth and want a permanent solution to replace them, Dr. Murphy will talk with you and put together a treatment plan outlining what will take place.Â
The dental implant procedure is a progressive process that involves several stages. Initially, the titanium post is placed into the jawbone. Then, a period of healing allows the post to fuse with the bone, creating a solid foundation. Finally, the crown is attached, providing a sturdy and long-lasting replacement for the missing tooth. This multi-step procedure ensures the lasting success of the dental implant.
If you have implants and/or replacement teeth that need to be restored, we can help. Just make an appointment for a consultation.
Choosing implants comes with numerous advantages. They not only look and function like natural teeth, but also improve appearance and speech. Importantly, they prevent bone loss in the jaw, which is a common problem when teeth are missing. Additionally, they offer superior durability compared to other solutions and eliminate the inconvenience associated with removable dentures.
Maintaining your implants involves upholding good oral hygiene. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups, are vital for the longevity of your implants. With appropriate care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a wise investment for your oral health.

Dental Implants FAQs
A dental implant is a titanium post that replaces a missing tooth root, with an abutment and custom crown completing the restoration to provide a natural-looking, fully functional tooth. At Harbor Dental Clinic, implants are described as a permanent solution that restores both appearance and chewing ability. Because the implant fuses with your jawbone, it preserves facial structure and prevents bone loss over time. Patients love that implants feel and function so naturally that they often forget which tooth is the replacement.
You may be a great candidate if you’re missing one or more teeth, have healthy gums, sufficient bone density, and practice good oral hygiene. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, advanced options like grafting can make implants possible. Harbor Dental Clinic carefully evaluates your oral and overall health to ensure long-term success and comfort. Your dentist will create a personalized plan that fits your smile, lifestyle, and goals for a confident result.
The process begins with selecting a composite resin color that closely matches your natural tooth color. Then, the surface of the tooth is roughened and a conditioning liquid applied to help the bonding material adhere. The tooth-colored, putty-like resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape. An ultraviolet light or laser is used to harden the material, after which it is trimmed, shaped, and polished to match the rest of the tooth surface.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, dental implants can last 20 years or even a lifetime. They don’t decay like natural teeth, but gum and bone health around the implant remain vital for longevity. Brushing twice daily, flossing, and avoiding hard foods or tobacco greatly enhance their durability. Harbor Dental provides tailored after-care instructions to help patients maintain healthy gums and protect their investment long term.
 Dental implants stand out for their ability to look, feel, and function like real teeth while preserving jawbone structure and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting. Unlike bridges or dentures, they don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support and offer unmatched stability. Risks are minimal but can include infection or implant failure if proper hygiene or follow-up care is neglected. Harbor Dental’s experienced team uses advanced planning and technology to minimize risks and maximize success.
