A dental implant is a titanium post that acts as a replacement tooth root. Titanium has the property of being able to completely fuse with human bone, so implants provide a strong foundation for new teeth. Depending on how many teeth need to be replaced, dental implants can be used to support crowns, bridges or dentures.

Implant-supported replacement teeth are strong and stable, and they feel and look like natural teeth. They help prevent bone loss in the jaw, and, unlike other forms of tooth replacement, they do not require modification of adjacent teeth. With proper care, implants and the teeth they support can last a lifetime.

Dr. Kim and Dr. Ruprecht use the latest 3D imaging technology to prepare for treatment in detail. As the first step, they take 3D X-rays with our in-office 3D dental scanner, which provides them with 360-degree views of your entire mouth and jaw area. This enables them to view the bone, nerves and other soft tissues in your mouth in great detail. They then use special 3D implant planning software to virtually simulate the surgery, planning out the exact angle and position of each implant.

After the implants have healed and fully stabilized, Dr. Kim will create highly aesthetic and durable final teeth that are lifelike and feel, look and act just like natural teeth. Dr. Kim makes his implant-supported teeth from the highest-quality materials and uses top labs for great results.

The doctors are very friendly, and they keep patients comfortable and at ease at all times. The doctors have friendly, gentle personalities, and they explain procedures so that you will know what to expect.

I had some emergency with cracked crown which I wanted to fix before going on a long trip, but my dentist was unavailable, so I asked Dr. Kim's office if they could take me on a short notice. They did - I had perfect experience, great doctor, office and staff. I ended with excellent crown. Thank you very much.

Dr. Henry Kim and his staff are truly amazing. He is HONEST and cares deeply for his patients, My mother is 87. She had been to several prior dentists, had major bone loss. Several dentists claimed to be specialist for implants, sadly they tried to sell her on major dental work which would be very costly, and crazy at her age and condition of her situation. He shared and listened, he gave her simpler options, less surgeries and minimal amount of implants to hold current dentures. He takes his time as well. Cheryl is amazing as well as all his staff. They explain in simple terms, call after surgeries with compassion! He is an experienced Specialist with state of art equipment, great understanding and we feel confident with him. All my family will be using him for our future dental! Roberta P and Joy L
