What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post — about the size of a screw — that is placed directly into your jawbone where a tooth root used to be. Over a few months, it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating an incredibly strong, permanent anchor.
Once fused, a custom-crafted crown is attached on top. The result looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth. You brush it, floss it, and forget it's even there.
Unlike dentures that sit on your gums or bridges that grind down neighboring healthy teeth, implants are the only tooth replacement option that preserves your jawbone and protects adjacent teeth.
Dr. Bublik uses exclusively German Argon implants — the same brand used in Europe's most advanced surgical centers. He serves on Argon's international research board.

Site Preparation

Implant Placement
Under local anesthesia or sedation, Dr. Bublik places your Argon titanium implant with computer-guided precision. The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours. Most patients return to work the next day.
Osseointegration — Implant Fuses With Bone
Your implant naturally bonds with your jawbone during this healing period. A temporary crown keeps your smile intact. This is the most important phase for long-term success.
Your Permanent Crown — For Life
Your custom porcelain crown is attached. It matches your surrounding teeth perfectly. From this point on, you treat it exactly like a natural tooth — brush, floss, and enjoy for life.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
A single dental implant in Wisconsin typically ranges from $3,000–$5,500 including the implant, abutment, and crown. The exact cost depends on your specific situation — bone condition, number of implants, and whether any preparatory work is needed.
While implants cost more upfront than bridges or dentures, they are the most cost-effective long-term solution — they never need replacing and protect the health of surrounding teeth.

Dental Implant FAQ
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you feel no pain during surgery. Most patients describe post-operative discomfort as milder than a tooth extraction — manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Sedation options are available for anxious patients.
The titanium implant post is designed to last a lifetime. The crown on top typically lasts 15–25 years depending on care and location in the mouth. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, many patients keep their implants for life.
There is no upper age limit for dental implants. Patients in their 70s and 80s regularly and successfully receive implants. The key factors are overall health and adequate bone density — not age. Dr. Bublik will evaluate your individual situation during your free consultation.
Possibly yes. Dr. Bublik performs bone grafting, sinus lifts, and ridge augmentation in-house to rebuild bone where needed. Many patients told "no" by other dentists become successful implant candidates after preparatory treatment with Dr. Bublik.
Exactly like natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss daily, and see your dentist for regular cleanings. Implants cannot get cavities, but the gum tissue around them still needs to be kept healthy. Dr. Bublik provides complete aftercare guidance.
Coverage varies widely by plan. Some insurance plans cover a portion of the implant cost, particularly if tooth loss was due to an accident or medical condition. Our team will review your benefits and help you maximize any coverage available before your procedure.
