A dental implant is a titanium post that a dentist surgically places into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Over 3 to 6 months, the post fuses with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable anchor that can support a crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis.
The implant system has three components: the titanium post embedded in the jaw, an abutment that connects the post to the visible restoration, and the restoration itself, which is custom-crafted from porcelain or zirconia to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. According to the American Dental Association, implants have a success rate exceeding 95%, making them the most predictable long-term tooth replacement available.
Dr. Naylor provides implant solutions for every level of tooth loss, from a single missing tooth to a completely edentulous arch. Each treatment path is tailored to your bone volume, the number of teeth being replaced, and your long-term restoration goals.
During your consultation, Dr. Naylor reviews your 3D cone beam CT scan and walks you through each option with transparent pricing so you can make an informed decision.
Consultation and 3D planning. Dr. Naylor captures cone beam CT scans and digital impressions to evaluate your bone volume, map the implant site in three dimensions, and determine whether preparatory procedures like bone grafting are needed before placement.
Implant placement. Under local anesthesia with sedation options available, Dr. Naylor places the titanium implant post into your jawbone using 3D-printed surgical guides for precision. Many patients report the procedure is more comfortable than a routine extraction.
Healing and osseointegration. Over 3 to 6 months, the implant integrates with your bone. During this phase, a temporary restoration allows you to eat, speak, and smile normally. Dr. Naylor schedules follow-up visits to monitor integration with imaging.
Final restoration. Once osseointegration is confirmed, Dr. Naylor seats your permanent crown, bridge, or prosthesis. The result is a tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
Traditional dentures sit on the gum surface and deliver only 25 to 30% of natural chewing force. They accelerate jawbone resorption because they do not engage the bone, and they require adhesives, overnight soaking, and periodic relining. Bridges restore chewing function effectively but require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth to serve as anchors.
Dental implants stand independently in the jawbone without affecting neighboring teeth. They transmit chewing forces directly into the bone, preserving jaw density and preventing the facial collapse that develops after prolonged tooth loss. With proper care, the titanium post can last a lifetime, while the prosthetic crown typically provides 15 to 20 years of function before replacement.
Implant costs depend on the number of teeth being replaced, whether bone grafting is required, and the type of final restoration selected. A single-tooth implant costs less than a full-arch All-on-4 restoration. During your consultation, our team provides a detailed cost estimate that accounts for every step of your treatment plan.
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental PPO, and Guardian, and many plans cover a portion of implant treatment. For additional flexibility, we offer 0% APR financing through CareCredit and Cherry, extended payment options through Proceed Finance, and an in-house dental membership plan for uninsured patients. We also have a dedicated dental implants payment plans page with more details on making treatment affordable.
Most Las Vegas dental practices refer implant patients to an outside oral surgeon for placement and handle only the crown restoration. This fragmented model means coordinating between two offices, explaining your case to multiple providers, and waiting for separate schedules to align.
At Naylor Family Dental and Implant Center, Dr. Naylor performs the full implant workflow in one Centennial Hills location: consultation, 3D planning, bone grafting if needed, surgical implant placement, and final prosthetic delivery. One doctor manages your case from the initial CT scan through your last follow-up visit, eliminating referral delays and ensuring seamless coordination at every phase.

Some patients require extra preparation before receiving dental implants. Dr. Naylor is experienced in a variety of oral surgeries and procedures, like bone grafting and sinus lifts, to ensure your implants function properly and stand the test of time.
Dental implants anchor directly into your jawbone, restoring near-natural chewing force. You can eat steak, apples, and corn on the cob without the slipping and food restrictions that come with removable dentures.
Implants are the only tooth replacement that stimulates the jawbone the way natural tooth roots do. This prevents the bone resorption and facial collapse that develop after prolonged tooth loss.
Unlike bridges, which require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth for support, implants stand independently. Your existing teeth remain untouched, and the implant fills the gap without compromising surrounding structure.
Dr. Naylor captures cone beam CT scans and digital impressions to evaluate your jaw structure, plan precise implant positions, and determine whether bone grafting is needed.
Over 3 to 6 months, the titanium implant fuses with your jawbone. A temporary restoration lets you eat, speak, and smile normally while integration progresses.
Once osseointegration is confirmed, Dr. Naylor seats your permanent crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis, custom-matched to the color, shape, and alignment of your natural teeth.

The titanium implant post is designed to last a lifetime when properly maintained. The prosthetic crown or bridge typically provides 15 to 20 years of function before wear requires replacement. Regular checkups and consistent home care are the strongest predictors of long-term success.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation options available, so you should not feel pain during surgery. Most patients report the experience is more comfortable than a tooth extraction. Post-operative soreness peaks within 48 to 72 hours and is manageable with prescribed medication.
Most adults with adequate jawbone density and good general health are candidates. Patients with insufficient bone may qualify after bone grafting. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, active periodontal disease, or heavy smoking require additional evaluation. Dr. Naylor determines candidacy during your consultation using 3D cone beam imaging.
Yes. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement that transmits chewing forces directly into the jawbone, stimulating it the way natural tooth roots do. This prevents the resorption that begins within months of tooth loss and accelerates over time with dentures or unrestored gaps.
Costs vary based on the number of implants, whether bone grafting is needed, and the type of restoration. Our team provides a detailed estimate during your consultation. We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed Finance.
Yes. Many denture wearers upgrade to implant-retained dentures or fixed All-on-4 restorations for improved stability, chewing function, and comfort. Dr. Naylor evaluates your bone volume and discusses options ranging from snap-on overdentures to permanently fixed full-arch prostheses.
