Dental Implants
Missing teeth can affect your confidence, your bite, and your long-term oral health. At Barounis Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer dental implants—a reliable, long-lasting solution that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth. Whether you’ve lost a single tooth or multiple, implants provide the most advanced way to restore both your smile and your confidence.
A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once placed into the jawbone, the implant fuses naturally with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation for a custom restoration, such as a dental crown, bridge, or denture, depending on your needs.
Unlike traditional bridges or removable dentures, implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. This preserves healthy enamel and prevents bone loss in the jaw—one of the most significant long-term benefits of choosing implants. With proper care, dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime.
At Barounis Dental, we combine precision planning and advanced imaging to create a tailored treatment plan for each patient. From single-tooth implants to full-arch restorations, Dr. Barounis focuses on comfort, function, and aesthetics to ensure a seamless result that blends perfectly with your natural smile.
If you’ve been living with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures, dental implants can help you eat, speak, and smile with renewed confidence—without worrying about shifting or discomfort.

About Our Dental Implant Service
At Barounis Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, our dental implant treatments are designed to provide permanent, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth. Each implant is customized to match your bite, appearance, and oral health goals. Using advanced imaging and precision-guided placement, Dr. Barounis ensures every implant feels comfortable, functions naturally, and lasts for decades.
How It Works
Dental implants consist of three main components: a titanium post that replaces the tooth root, an abutment that connects to the post, and a custom crown that restores the visible tooth. The titanium post is gently placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to form a secure foundation. Once healed, a lifelike crown or bridge is attached, completing your restored smile.
Common Conditions Treated
- Single or multiple missing teeth
- Tooth loss due to decay or trauma
- Bone loss in the jaw (treated with bone grafting before implants)

FAQ
FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last 20 years or more—often a lifetime. The key is maintaining healthy gums and surrounding bone.
Are dental implants painful?
No. Implant placement is done under local anesthesia, and most patients report only mild soreness afterward, similar to a routine extraction. Any discomfort can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good oral health and sufficient jawbone density are candidates. If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting may be recommended to strengthen the area for implant placement.
How do dental implants compare to dentures or bridges?
Unlike dentures, implants are permanent, stable, and don’t require adhesives. Unlike bridges, they don’t affect surrounding teeth. They’re the most natural, long-term replacement for missing teeth.
