Lawrenceville Dental Implants
A missing tooth doesn’t have to change how you eat, speak, or smile
One tooth, one root, one permanent fix
Losing a tooth changes how you chew, how you speak, and how confident you feel day to day. A dental implant replaces the whole tooth, root and all, with a titanium post that anchors into your jaw and a custom crown that blends right in.
At Zona Dental, our Lawrenceville dental implants are placed in-house by Dr. Chukwuka Okafor, so your care never gets passed between offices. From the first scan to the final restoration, you work with one doctor who knows your case.
Why patients choose implants over the alternatives
-
They stay put. No slipping, no adhesive, no taking anything out at night. - They protect your bone. The implant replaces the root, which keeps your jaw from shrinking over time.
- They look natural. Every crown is shaped and shaded to match the teeth around it.
- They last. With normal care, an implant is built to be a long-term solution, not a temporary patch.
- They make eating easy again. Bite into what you want without thinking twice.
What getting an implant looks like

We start with cone beam CT and panoramic imaging so Dr. Okafor sees your bone, nerves, and spacing clearly before anything begins.

You’ll hear the timeline, the technique, and the cost upfront, explained simply in English or Spanish. No surprises.
Implant Placement
The titanium post is placed and given time to fuse with your bone, creating a stable foundation for your new tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
With good daily care and regular checkups, dental implants are designed to last for decades. The implant post often becomes a permanent part of your mouth, while the crown on top may eventually need replacing after years of use.
Does getting an implant hurt?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. We use local anesthetic during placement, and oral sedation is available if you feel anxious. Our Lawrenceville dental implants are placed gently, and any soreness afterward is usually mild and short-lived.
Will my insurance cover it?
Many PPO plans cover part of implant treatment. Our team will review your benefits before you commit to anything, and we offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry so you can spread the cost over time.
Am I a candidate if I've lost bone?
Often, yes. Dr. Okafor offers bone grafting and sinus lifts when needed, so patients who were told they couldn't get Lawrenceville dental implants elsewhere may still have options here.
