What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants can improve the appearance of your smile while eliminating gaps in your teeth and replacing painful, unhealthy teeth. Dental implants are a full tooth replacement, complete with roots and an artificial tooth that matches the color of your natural teeth.
For many people, dental implants are the next best thing to having your own, original, healthy teeth. If you’ve lost a tooth or are struggling with a tooth (or teeth) that are unhealthy, a dental implant may be the right solution for you.
BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
There are many reasons to get dental implants!
Comfortable fit. Implants are often more comfortable than dentures because they fit in your mouth in the same way that natural teeth fit in your mouth.
Beautiful appearance. Dental implants are just as lovely as natural teeth – and indistinguishable as well.
Pride in your smile. With dental implants, you can smile with pride, knowing that your smile appears healthy and as it should.
Better for digestion. It’s important to have all your teeth because teeth aid digestion. You’ll find eating easier when you have a dental implant because implants fit in your mouth just like your natural teeth.
Convenience. Dental implants require all the same care as your natural teeth, so taking care of dental implants is convenient and similar to your normal oral hygiene routine.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants have a success rate of about 98%. Your dentist can determine whether you’re a good candidate for dental implants. To be a good candidate, you’ll need to have healthy gums and enough bone to hold the implant.
Your dentist will also evaluate your candidacy for dental implants based on how well you take care of your teeth and your overall health. If you have a chronic health problem or smoke heavily, this could impact the viability of dental implants for you.

Helping patients feel more at ease during their dental visits is one of the most gratifying parts of my job. Creating a surprisingly positive dental experience is always my ultimate goal.
”I’ve always been a nurturing and optimistic person, and that naturally carries into my approach to dentistry. My goal is to exceed patient expectations by delivering honest, ethical treatment recommendations and providing exceptional care using advanced, state-of-the-art technology. It’s incredibly rewarding to receive positive feedback—especially from patients who have experienced dental anxiety in the past. Helping them realize that their visit can be comfortable and virtually painless is truly meaningful to me.”

“I genuinely enjoy getting to know my patients and building long-term relationships that help them feel comfortable and at ease. I find it especially rewarding to work with those who are anxious or hesitant about dental visits. It’s always a pleasure to witness their perception of dentistry shift and to see their confidence grow with each appointment.”
“As a dentist, my goal is to relieve dental pain, help patients feel proud of their smiles, and ensure everyone leaves with a positive experience. I’m passionate about lifelong learning and staying current with the latest dental technologies to provide the highest quality care. I also take pride in educating my patients on how to improve and maintain their oral health, empowering them to achieve lasting dental wellness.”

Wendy Lara, DDS
“I was drawn to dentistry because I’ve always wanted to help people feel more comfortable. For me, it’s not just about teeth, it’s about making sure my patients understand what’s going on with their oral health and feel empowered to make decisions that are right for them. I believe that clear communication builds trust, and trust is the foundation of great care.”
“I truly enjoy forming connections with my patients and creating a welcoming environment where they feel heard and supported. It’s especially rewarding when I can change someone’s perspective on going to the dentist from something they once dreaded to something they feel confident about. My goal is always to provide gentle, personalized care and to make each visit as positive as possible.”
In her free time, Dr. Lee enjoys playing pickleball, embroidering, and swimming.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a wonderful alternative for treating empty spaces caused by tooth loss or for stabilizing a loose fitting denture. The procedure is virtually painless and is usually completed in 30-45 minutes.
Why Choose a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are a long term permanent solution for tooth loss. In most cases, dental implants offer the best aesthetics and can't be differentiated from your natural teeth.
Why is a Dental Implant Better than a Bridge?
Dental implants are a quick efficient solution to replace a missing tooth. A bridge requires cutting on adjacent healthy tooth structures or removing good crowns to close the space. Research shows a dental bridge has an average life span of 10 years and replacement becomes complicated when a bridge fails. A dental implant is maintained well, can last a life time.
How does a Dental Implant Stabilize my Denture?
Most patients that have had dentures for ten or more years have experienced a change in the way their denture fits and is retained. They will slowly lose bone over time making it difficult to chew on food or speak with their denture. A denture can physically be snapped onto a dental implant allowing for much more proficient speaking, chewing, and confidence in your denture.
