At J Smiles Dental Implants Studio, we understand the profound impact that missing teeth can have on both your confidence and oral health. That is why we offer a range of dental implant solutions designed to restore both function and aesthetics. Whether you are missing one tooth, several teeth or require a full arch replacement, our team is dedicated to providing high-quality, personalized care to help you achieve a healthy and radiant smile.

Dental implants are designed to function like natural teeth, offering durability and stability that conventional dentures or bridges cannot match. The process involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a replacement root for the artificial tooth or teeth. This post integrates with the bone over time, ensuring a strong foundation for your new teeth.

Implants help preserve jawbone structure, prevent further tooth loss and provide a more secure fit compared to other tooth replacement options. The results are not only visually appealing but also functional, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.

Dr. Jiro Akpobome and Dr. Christopher Roclevitch are committed to using the latest techniques and technology to ensure the success of your dental implant procedure. From your initial consultation to the final placement of your implants, we strive to make the experience as comfortable and seamless as possible.

The Dental Implant Process

The journey to a complete smile with dental implants begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this visit, we will assess your oral health, discuss your goals and create a customized treatment plan. Advanced imaging technology allows us to visualize your jawbone structure and plan the placement of the implants with precision.

The placement of the implants is performed under local anesthesia. After the implants are placed, a healing period is required for the bone to integrate with the implants. This process, known as osseointegration, usually takes a few months. Once healing is complete, we will attach the final restorations to the implants, providing you with a fully functional and natural-looking smile.
