Permanent Tooth Replacement That Feels Natural
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it heals, it becomes a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture, restoring both function and appearance.
Dr. Heeyup Ghim offers full-service dental implants right here in Henderson—meaning we plan, place, and restore your implants in one location, using advanced technology for superior precision and comfort.
Whether you’re missing one tooth or many, we’ll help you find the most efficient and effective path to a fully restored smile.
Types of Dental Implants We Offer
Single Tooth Implants
Ideal for patients missing just one tooth, a single dental implant replaces both the root and crown without affecting adjacent teeth.
- Looks and functions like a natural tooth
- No need to alter healthy neighboring teeth
- Preserves bone and gum structure
- Custom-matched crown for a seamless appearance
Implant Bridges
For multiple missing teeth in a row, we can place two or more implants to support a custom bridge. This solution:
- Prevents shifting of remaining teeth
- Feels more secure than traditional bridges
- Avoids the need for a denture
- Offers long-term function and aesthetics
Full-Arch Implants (All-on-4)
The All-on-4 method replaces a full upper or lower arch of missing teeth using just four to six implants per arch.
- Permanent alternative to full dentures
- Teeth are fixed in place—no slipping or adhesives
- Restores appearance, confidence, and chewing ability
- Faster healing with fewer implants
- Often allows same-day placement of a temporary set of teeth
This is an ideal solution for patients who are missing all teeth in one arch or those seeking a more stable upgrade to traditional dentures.

Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. Benefits include:
- Stability and function – Eat, speak, and smile with confidence
- Bone preservation – Prevent jawbone shrinkage after tooth loss
- Aesthetics – Restorations look just like natural teeth
- Durability – Implants can last 20+ years with proper care
- Comfort – No pressure points or slipping like traditional dentures
- Improved quality of life – A more youthful appearance and stronger bite
Implants also help protect your long-term oral health by preventing the shifting of surrounding teeth and maintaining facial structure.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
You may be a great candidate if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have healthy gums and adequate bone support
- Don’t want removable dentures
- Are in good general health
- Are committed to oral hygiene and regular dental visits
If you’ve been told you lack the bone density for implants, we may recommend bone grafting or other preparatory treatment to build up the site before placement.
We’ll guide you through all options during your consultation.
