Tooth Replacement Done Right
Replace Missing Teeth With the Gold Standard
Dental implants are the most effective and longest-lasting solution for missing teeth. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants replace the actual root of the tooth, fusing with your jawbone to create a permanent foundation that looks, feels and functions exactly like a natural tooth.
At Osuna Dental Care, we've placed thousands of implants since 1993. Whether you're missing a single tooth, several teeth or need a full arch replaced, we have the right implant solution for you. Every implant treatment starts with a free consultation including 3D CBCT X-rays, so you know exactly what's possible and what it'll cost before you commit to anything.
Explore our specific implant solutions: single tooth replacement, full mouth implants, All-on-4, same-day implants and implant-retained dentures.

How They Work
A Dental Implant Has 3 Parts
An implant isn't just a "fake tooth." It's a complete tooth replacement system designed to work like your natural teeth. Here's what's actually inside.
-
1The Implant Post A small biocompatible titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone. It replaces the root of the missing tooth and fuses with bone over 3 to 6 months (osseointegration).
-
2The Abutment A connector piece that attaches to the implant post and extends through the gum line. It holds the final restoration (crown, bridge or denture) in place.
-
3The Restoration The visible "tooth" portion. Custom-designed to match your other teeth in color, shape and size. Can be a crown (single tooth), bridge (multiple teeth) or full arch denture.

Candidacy
Are You a Candidate for Implants?
Most adults missing one or more teeth are candidates for dental implants. Even if you've experienced bone loss, modern techniques can rebuild the foundation needed for successful placement.
- You have one or more missing teeth
- You have healthy gums (or treatable gum issues)
- You have adequate jawbone density (or are open to bone grafting)
- You're a non-smoker or willing to quit during healing
- You're committed to regular oral hygiene and dental visits
- You have generally good overall health
Bone Loss? You May Still Qualify
Many patients told they "can't have implants" elsewhere actually qualify with the right preparation. Modern grafting and 3D-guided techniques work where traditional methods failed.

FAQ
Common Questions About Dental Implants
Quick answers to what Albuquerque patients ask us most. Don't see yours? Just call.
How much do dental implants cost in Albuquerque?
Dental implant costs in Albuquerque vary by treatment scope. Single tooth implants typically range $4,000 to $5,000, including the implant, abutment and crown. All-on-4 full arch implants start at $15,999 per arch. Full arch hybrid implant solutions run approximately $16,000 per arch. We offer free consultations with 3D X-rays included and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Financing through Cherry, CareCredit and Sunbit is available.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. The titanium post fuses permanently with the jawbone and typically lasts 25 years or more with proper care. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 15 to 20 years due to normal wear. Long-term success rates are 95 to 98 percent, making them the most durable tooth replacement option available.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with one or more missing teeth, healthy gums and adequate bone structure are candidates for dental implants. If you've experienced bone loss from extended tooth loss, bone grafting can rebuild the foundation. Even patients with significant bone loss often qualify with techniques like sinus lifts or 3D-guided implant placement. We use 3D CBCT imaging to assess each case during your free consultation.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The complete process typically takes 3 to 6 months. This includes initial consultation and planning (1 to 2 weeks), implant placement surgery (1 visit), osseointegration healing (3 to 6 months while the implant fuses with bone) and final crown placement (1 to 2 visits). Some patients qualify for immediate-load implants, which provide a temporary tooth on the same day as surgery.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
The procedure itself is not painful. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to keep you comfortable throughout. Most patients report less discomfort afterward than expected, similar to a tooth extraction. Mild swelling and soreness for 3 to 5 days is normal, managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medication. Most patients return to normal activities within 1 to 2 days.
Will dental insurance cover implants?
Coverage varies significantly by plan. Most dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of implant treatment, especially the crown component. Some plans cover the implant placement itself when medically necessary. Our team verifies your specific benefits before treatment and provides an itemized estimate. We also work with medical insurance for cases involving accidents or medical conditions.
Are there alternatives to dental implants?
Yes, alternatives include traditional dental bridges (rely on adjacent teeth for support), removable partial dentures and full dentures. While these can replace teeth functionally, implants are the only option that prevents the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth and provides the same chewing strength as natural teeth. We discuss all options during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
How do I care for dental implants?
Care for implants like natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss daily (special implant floss or water flossers work well), use an antibacterial mouthwash and visit the dentist every 6 months for cleanings and exams. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens that could damage the crown. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
What is included in your free consultation?
Our free implant consultation includes a comprehensive oral exam, 3D CBCT X-ray imaging at no cost, evaluation of bone density and quantity, discussion of your treatment goals, review of all implant options suitable for your case, transparent itemized pricing, insurance benefits verification and financing options. No obligation, no pressure. Just clear information so you can make the right decision.
Can dental implants prevent bone loss?
Yes, this is one of the most important benefits of implants over other tooth replacement options. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area begins to deteriorate from lack of stimulation. Dental implants fuse with the bone (osseointegration) and provide the stimulation that keeps the jawbone healthy and prevents the facial collapse seen with long-term denture wearers.
Do you serve patients outside Albuquerque?
Yes. We see implant patients from across the Albuquerque metro area including Northeast Heights, Academy Acres North, Rio Rancho, Corrales, North Valley and surrounding New Mexico communities. Many patients travel from across New Mexico for our implant expertise. Our office is at 5900 Cubero Dr NE STE B, Albuquerque, NM 87109.
