Dental Implants in West Bloomfield, MI
Your dentist places and restores dental implants right here in our office, from a single tooth to a full arch, so your entire treatment stays in one place.
Replacing the Tooth
A dental implant is the closest replacement to a natural tooth, replacing both the root and the crown for a result that looks, feels, and functions like your own teeth.
Because both the surgery and the final tooth are done here, you are never referred out to a separate office partway through, and your scans, your records, and the team following your case all stay in one place.
What an Implant Actually Is
- The crown The part you see and chew with, made to match the shade and shape of the teeth beside it.
- The abutment The small connector that joins the crown to the post and sits at the gum line.
- The post A titanium screw that takes the place of the root. Bone grows onto it over the following months, which is what makes an implant hold.

Who We Help
Is This Right for You?
Missing teeth change more than how a smile looks. Any one of these is a good reason to have your options assessed properly.
Missing teeth
One tooth, several teeth, or a full arch.
Loose dentures
Tired of clicking, slipping, or messy adhesives.
Low bone volume
You have been told before that you do not have enough jawbone.
Natural look and feel
You want a replacement that behaves like a real tooth.
Seamless care
You would rather keep the whole treatment under one roof.
When We Might Advise Waiting
None of these is a permanent no. They are things we would rather help you deal with first, so the implant has the best chance of lasting.
Active gum disease
Gum and bone have to be healthy for an implant to bond and hold.
Diabetes not yet controlled
Steady control supports the healing an implant depends on.
Smoking, and vaping
Smoking measurably lowers the success rate, and both are worth raising before you spend anything.
Certain bone medications
Some prescriptions, particularly intravenous ones, change how the jaw heals.
Heavy grinding or clenching
Managing it first stops the new tooth fighting the force that damaged the last one.
A jaw still developing
Implants usually wait until growth finishes, in the late teens or early twenties.
Your Treatment
What Actually Happens, Start to Finish
Consultation and Digital Scanning
We check the bone, the gum and the bite, and take the imaging your case needs. You see your own scan on the screen, and you leave with the plan, the sequence and the full cost in writing.
Site Preparation, If Needed
Not everyone needs this stage. If the tooth is still there it comes out first, and if the bone has thinned a graft or a sinus lift rebuilds it, which adds several months. We tell you at the consultation, not partway through.
Placing the Implant
The post is placed under local anesthetic, here in our office. It takes less time than most people expect, and you go home the same day with your instructions and a number to call.
Natural Bone Healing
Bone grows onto the implant over roughly three to six months, and there is no shortcut. That is what makes it hold like a root rather than sit like a filling, and you wear a temporary tooth throughout, so there is never a visible gap.
Placing Your Final Tooth
We fit the custom crown, bridge or full arch and adjust the bite until it feels like your own tooth. Usually two visits, one to fit and one final check.
If You Are Dreading This, Read This Part
Plenty of people put an implant off for years, and it is almost never about the tooth. It is about the appointment. So here is what actually happens, in plain terms, with nothing left out to make it sound easier than it is.
How we keep your visit stress free 4 things that surprise most patients
- Nothing starts until you are numb
- Placement is done with local anesthetic. It goes in first, we wait for it to take properly, and we check that the area is fully numb before anything else begins.
- What you notice is pressure, not pain
- Most patients are surprised by this one. You stay awake and aware, and what reaches you is a sense of firm pressure and some sound. That is the honest description, and it is why so many people tell us afterward that the waiting was worse than the appointment.
- Telling us you are anxious changes the visit
- It is not a small thing to admit and it genuinely changes how the appointment runs. We slow down, we explain each step before it happens rather than after, and we stop when you need to stop. You are not the first person to say it and you will not be talked out of it.
- You are not walked in cold
- The consult comes first, and nothing is placed that day. You see your own scan, you hear what we found and what your options are, and you leave with a plan in writing. By the time placement is booked, there is nothing left about it you have not already been told.
I've lived with dental trauma all my life and never set foot in a dentist's office until I mustered the courage to visit Royal Dental Center. She not only helped me address my dental issues but also helped me overcome a lifelong fear. Her kindness, expertise, and patience made all the difference.
The Implant Consultation Is Free
You do not have to commit to anything to find out where you stand. The consultation for dental implants costs nothing, and nobody is going to push you toward treatment.
Before You Book
What Happens at the Consultation
See what your first visit includes, in 4 steps.
- We look at the bone and gum around the space, take the imaging the case needs, and tell you honestly whether an implant is the right answer for you or whether something else is
- You see your own scan on the screen and hear what we are looking at, rather than being told a conclusion
- You leave with the plan, the sequence, the timeline, and the full cost in writing, including whether a graft is part of it and what your insurance is likely to pay
- If an implant is not right for you, you will hear that here rather than after you have spent anything
Your Dentists
Placed and Restored in One Office
We place and restore implants in our own office, including bone grafting and sinus lift procedures when the jaw needs preparing first. It is common for a practice to send the surgical half elsewhere and handle only the final crown. Here every stage happens in one place, with one set of records and one team who already know your case.
New patients are usually seen within the same week.

The Question Everyone Asks
What Decides the Cost of Your Implant
We are not going to put a number on this page, because any number we could publish would be wrong for most of the people reading it, and a wrong number is worse than none. What we can do is tell you exactly what the figure depends on, which is the part most practices leave out.
- 1Number of teeth
- 2Jawbone grafting
- 3Tooth extractions
- 4Crown materials
- 5Insurance coverage
Read full details on these 5 factors
- How many teeth you are replacing
- One implant carrying one crown is the smallest version of this treatment. Replacing several teeth does not always mean one implant per tooth, because a bridge can be carried on fewer implants than it replaces, which usually costs less than doing each tooth on its own. A full arch is the largest version and is quoted as one piece of treatment rather than by the tooth.
- Whether the jaw has to be built up first
- An implant needs enough bone to hold it. If the bone has thinned where a tooth has been missing a while, a bone graft or a sinus lift comes first, and that adds a procedure and several months of healing before the implant itself. This is the single biggest reason two people are quoted very different amounts for what sounds like the same treatment.
- Whether a tooth still has to come out
- If the tooth being replaced is still in place, it has to be removed before or during placement. Sometimes both happen in one visit and sometimes the site needs to heal first, and which one applies to you changes both the cost and the timeline.
- What the final tooth is made of and how it attaches
- The crown, bridge, or arch that sits on top comes in different materials, and on a full arch it can be fixed in place or made to lift out for cleaning. These are real choices with real differences in price, and we go through them with you rather than deciding for you.
- What your plan actually pays
- Coverage varies more on implants than on almost any other treatment. Some plans pay toward the implant, some toward the crown that sits on it, and some toward neither. We check your benefits before you commit to anything and tell you what applies to your plan, not what applies in general.
Transparent Pricing and Flexible Financing
- No financial surprises
- You will receive a complete, written breakdown of your treatment costs at your consultation, including bone graft needs and estimated insurance coverage, before you commit to anything.
- Flexible payment options
- If paying all at once is a hurdle, we offer monthly payment plans through CareCredit and Cherry. See below to learn how they work.

Common Questions
Dental Implants Questions
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with enough jawbone are candidates for dental implants. The things that most often need handling first are untreated gum disease, diabetes that is not yet under steady control, and smoking, none of which rule an implant out on their own. Your dentist checks the bone and gum at a consultation and tells you honestly either way.
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
The placement is done under local anesthetic, so what most patients notice during it is firm pressure rather than pain. Afterward there is usually some soreness for a few days that most people manage with ordinary over the counter pain relief. If you are anxious about this, say so when you book, because it genuinely changes how we run the appointment.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
Most cases run a few months from placement to the final tooth, and the bulk of that is healing time rather than appointments. If a bone graft or a sinus lift is needed first, add several months to that. Your dentist gives you a timeline for your own case at the consultation.
What is recovery actually like?
After a single implant, most people are back to their normal routine the next day. Expect some swelling and soreness for the first two or three days, softer food for a while, and careful rather than vigorous cleaning around the area. If a graft was part of your treatment, the settling period is longer. You leave with your own written instructions and a number to call.
What if I do not have enough bone for an implant?
Your dentist can often build the area up first with a bone graft or a sinus lift, performed right here in our office, so you can still move forward with implant treatment. It adds a stage and several months of healing to the plan, and you are told that at the consultation rather than partway through.
How long do dental implants last?
The post is designed to be permanent, and once bone has bonded to it, it holds the way a natural root would. The crown on top is the part that wears and may need replacing eventually, the same as any restoration. What decides the life of an implant more than anything is the health of the gum around it, so regular cleanings and daily care matter more afterward, not less.
Are implants better than a bridge or denture?
Implants replace the tooth root as well as the crown, which helps preserve jawbone and usually feels closest to a natural tooth. They are not automatically the right answer for everyone, though, and cost, healing time, and the condition of the neighboring teeth all matter. Your dentist compares all of your options at a consultation instead of assuming.
What do dental implants cost?
There is no single honest number, because it depends on how many teeth you are replacing, whether the jaw needs a graft or a sinus lift first, whether a tooth still has to come out, and what your plan covers. Anyone quoting a flat figure before seeing your scan is guessing. You get the full cost for your own case in writing at the consultation, before you commit to anything.
Does dental insurance cover implants?
Coverage varies more with implants than with almost any other treatment. Some plans contribute toward the implant, some toward the crown that sits on it, and some toward neither. We check your benefits first and explain what applies to your plan, and CareCredit and Cherry are there for the rest. The quickest way to get a real answer for your own case is a short conversation.
