Permanent Tooth Replacement for a Lifetime of Smiles

Dental Implants in Albuquerque, NM — Strong, Natural, and Built to Last

Missing teeth can impact your confidence, health, and quality of life. At Osuna Dental Care, Drs. Chris Kim and Christopher Graham restores smiles with durable and natural-looking dental implants — a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions just like your real teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants do much more than restore your smile — they help protect your oral health and preserve facial structure. Here’s why patients in Albuquerque love dental implants:

Look and function like natural teeth

Eat, talk, and smile with confidence.

Prevent bone loss

Implants stimulate the jawbone, maintaining facial shape.

Stop teeth from shifting

Keep surrounding teeth properly aligned.

Restore chewing and speaking ability

Enjoy your favorite foods again.

Improve oral health

No need to grind or damage neighboring teeth.

Long-lasting results

With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.

The Dental Implant Procedure

Your dental implant journey is a precise and comfortable process guided by an expert team of Implant Specialists

Implant Placement

The titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone during a simple procedure under local anesthesia.

Healing & Integration

Over the next few months, your jawbone fuses with the implant through a process called osseointegration, creating a secure foundation.

Final Restoration

Once healed, a natural-looking crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant — completing your new smile.

The result? A tooth replacement so natural, you’ll forget which one it was.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime.
With proper oral hygiene and routine dental visits, your implants can remain strong and functional for decades — many patients enjoy their implants for over 40 years!

Unlike traditional tooth replacements, implants don’t decay, and they help maintain the health of your jawbone over time.

How to Care for Dental Implants

Caring for your implants is as easy as caring for your natural teeth:

  1. Brush and floss daily to remove plaque buildup.

  2. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.

  3. Schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings.

  4. Avoid smoking, which can slow healing and affect implant health.

    With proper maintenance, your implants will continue to look beautiful and function perfectly for life.

Dental Implants in Albuquerque, NM

Living with a missing tooth changes your daily routine more than most people realize. Chewing becomes limited. Smiling feels different. Some patients even catch themselves avoiding social situations because they don’t want anyone to notice the gap. Others struggle with dentures that move, rub, or make eating certain foods frustrating.

Dental implants offer a long-term, stable, and natural-feeling solution—one that looks like your own tooth and performs like it. At Osuna Dental Care, dental implants are one of the treatments we’re known for, and our goal has always been simple: make high-quality implant dentistry more affordable for the Albuquerque community without cutting corners on technology or outcomes.

Our transparent pricing, modern imaging, and efficient protocols allow us to consistently be one of the most affordable implant providers in Albuquerque, while still delivering strong, predictable results.

What Makes Dental Implants So Effective?

A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth with a biocompatible titanium fixture. Once healed, this implant supports a custom ceramic crown that’s designed to match your natural teeth.

Patients often choose implants because they offer benefits you simply cannot get from bridges or dentures:

  • They look and feel like real teeth

  • They preserve jawbone and prevent bone loss

  • They don’t rely on or damage neighboring teeth

  • They stay in place—no shifting, slipping, or adhesives

  • They restore full chewing strength

  • They last decades with proper care

For many Albuquerque patients, dental implants allow them to feel like themselves again—eating comfortably, smiling confidently, and maintaining long-term oral health.

Why Albuquerque Patients Choose Osuna Dental Care for Implants

We are one of the most affordable implant providers in Albuquerque

Implants don’t have to be out of reach. Our streamlined process, in-house technology, and efficient workflows allow us to provide:

  • $4,000 for most single implant + crown cases

  • $5,000 for more complex implant cases

  • $12,000 for snap-in overdentures per arch

  • $16,000 for full-arch All-on-4 solutions

We don’t hide costs. We don’t upsell. Patients appreciate our transparency because they know exactly what to expect.

We use advanced digital imaging to ensure precision

A 3D CBCT scan helps us analyze bone quality, sinus position, and nerve structures before we ever place an implant.
(Learn more about our 3D imaging here: https://osunadentalcare.com/3d-x-ray-/-cbct-in-albuquerque-nm)

We offer multiple implant options, not just one solution

Missing one tooth? Several? An entire arch? We provide a full spectrum of implant treatments so you only pay for what you truly need.

We explain every step clearly and without pressure

Patients often tell us they feel more comfortable here than anywhere else they’ve been. We take the time to answer questions and ensure you understand your options.

Long-term maintenance support

Once your implant is restored, we help you maintain it with routine visits, home care guidance, and ongoing monitoring.

Implant Solutions We Offer in Albuquerque

Every patient’s goals are different. Some want the simplest replacement for one tooth. Others want a full-arch transformation after years of wearing dentures. We provide solutions for every scenario.

Our Technology: Why Precision Matters

Accuracy is everything in implant dentistry. Even a millimeter makes a difference in long-term success.

At Osuna Dental Care, every implant case begins with:

1. CBCT 3D Scan

This allows us to measure bone volume, density, and vital structures with precision.

2. Digital Implant Planning

We map implant placement in software before the procedure, improving safety and predictability.

3. Guided Surgery When Beneficial

Custom surgical guides ensure optimal angulation and depth based on your anatomy.

4. High-quality implant components

We use proven implant systems that integrate well with bone and support long-term stability.

What To Expect From Start to Finish

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

We take a CBCT scan, review your medical and dental history, evaluate bone levels, and help you compare your options.

Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan

You receive a clear explanation of your recommended treatment, timeline, and costs.

Step 3: Implant Placement

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure feels. With modern techniques, placement is minimally invasive.

Step 4: Osseointegration (Healing Phase)

Your bone integrates with the implant. This typically takes several months but can vary based on case complexity and bone density.

Step 5: Custom Restoration

A final, natural-looking crown or prosthesis is attached.

Step 6: Maintenance & Follow-Up

We monitor healing, provide cleaning instructions, and schedule routine follow-ups.

Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

You may be an ideal implant candidate if:

  • You are missing one or more teeth

  • You want a long-term fix, not a temporary solution

  • You have healthy gums or are open to periodontal treatment

  • You have sufficient bone or are willing to consider grafting

  • You prefer a stable, natural-feeling solution

  • You want improved comfort and chewing ability

Even if you’ve been told in the past that implants aren’t possible, modern imaging and bone grafting techniques might change that.

Affordability Without Compromise

Our ability to offer some of the most affordable implant pricing in Albuquerque comes from:

  • Efficient workflows

  • In-house imaging

  • Local lab partnerships

  • No corporate overhead

  • No unnecessary add-on fees

  • Honest, transparent treatment planning

Many patients are surprised that implant treatment is more accessible than they expected. We help you understand costs clearly so you can make confident decisions about your care.

Comparing Implants to Other Tooth Replacement Options

Implants vs. Bridges

  • Implants last longer

  • Bridges require modifying neighboring teeth

  • Implants preserve bone

  • Bridges may need replacement every decade

Implants vs. Removable Dentures

  • No slipping

  • No adhesives

  • Strong chewing

  • Better long-term stability

  • Help maintain bone

If your main concern is stability and comfort, implants usually offer the highest quality of life.
