A long-lasting solution backed by experience you can trust

Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth—and for good reason. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth while helping preserve your oral health for years to come.
At our practice, implants aren’t just something we offer—they’re something we do often and do well. Dr. Tom has placed over 600 implant crowns and continues to build on that experience, giving patients confidence they’re in skilled, capable hands.
Why consider dental implants?
Missing teeth can affect far more than your smile. Over time, they can lead to bone loss, shifting teeth, bite problems, and difficulty chewing. Dental implants in Lincoln, Nebraska, replace both the tooth and the root, providing stability and long-term support that other options simply can’t match.
Benefits of dental implants:
- Natural look and feel – Designed to blend seamlessly with your smile
- Strong and stable – Allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence
- Long-lasting solution – With proper care, implants can last many years
- Preserves bone health – Helps prevent bone loss in the jaw
- Protects surrounding teeth – No need to alter neighboring teeth like a bridge
- Improved comfort and function – Feels more like a natural tooth than removable options

Experience matters
Implant dentistry requires precision, planning, and attention to detail. Dr. Tom’s extensive experience placing 600+ implant crowns means your treatment is guided by real-world expertise, not guesswork. Each implant restoration is carefully planned to ensure proper bite alignment, durability, and a natural appearance.
