Dental Implants
Henderson, NV
Missing one or more teeth can make everyday things like eating, speaking, and smiling feel stressful or embarrassing. Dental implants offer a stable, long-term way to bring back your smile and help you enjoy food and conversation again. With well-planned implants, you can feel more like yourself and stop worrying about hiding gaps or dealing with loose appliances.
We provide top-quality dental implants.
At George Harouni, DDS, a Dental Implant Specialist in Henderson, NV, we take a careful, personalized approach to dental implants so they look natural, feel secure, and support your long-term oral health. Dr. Harouni draws on 28+ years of experience, using advanced imaging and high-quality implant components to create restorations that fit comfortably, protect your bite and jawbone, and blend in seamlessly with your smile.
Replace one or more missing teeth with stable, fixed restorations that restore chewing function, protect jawbone health, support facial structure, and give you a natural-looking smile you can feel confident showing every day.
Implants are made from strong, biocompatible titanium or zirconia posts that integrate with the jawbone, topped with custom crowns, bridges, or dentures crafted from lifelike ceramics for a natural look and comfortable feel.
Typically completed over several months, allowing time for planning, implant placement, healing and bone integration, and then attaching the final crown, bridge, or denture.
With good at-home care and regular checkups, dental implants can last for many years and often decades, continuing to support your jawbone and smile as your mouth naturally changes over time.
Dental implants are small posts that are placed in the jawbone to act like artificial tooth roots. Once healed, they can support single crowns, bridges, or full-arch dentures, creating a stable, fixed replacement for missing teeth that looks and feels very close to natural teeth.
There are several ways implants can be used, including single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges to span a gap, and implant-supported dentures for people missing many or all of their teeth. During your visit, Dr. Harouni will explain your options, review your imaging, and help you choose the implant solution that best fits your goals, budget, and lifestyle.
The process of receiving dental implants is carefully structured and focused on your comfort. It is typically completed over several visits.
Evaluation & Planning
Dr. Harouni begins with a conversation about your goals and lifestyle, followed by a detailed exam and digital imaging. He checks your gums, remaining teeth, bite, and bone levels. If implants are right for you, he explains the steps of the treatment plan. Impressions and scans are taken to map out precise implant positions and design the final restorations.
Implant Placement
At your next appointment, the implant posts are placed into the jawbone using gentle, minimally invasive techniques and advanced anesthesia to keep you comfortable. In many cases, a small healing cap is placed over the implant. You will receive clear instructions on caring for the area as it heals.
Final Restoration
Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Once healed, you return so Dr. Harouni can attach custom abutments and take precise impressions for your crown, bridge, or denture. At the final visit, your new restoration is secured to the implants, your bite is checked, and small adjustments are made so everything feels natural and comfortable.
Dr. Harouni offers a wide range of dental implant procedures to meet his patients' needs. Some of the procedures he offers include:
A single implant is placed to support a replacement tooth.
An implant is placed, and a replacement tooth is attached the same day.
A full arch of replacement teeth is supported by multiple implants.
Four implants are placed in the jaw to support a full arch of replacement teeth.
Choosing dental implants can bring meaningful improvements to your daily life.
Improved Chewing and Speaking
Implants create stable chewing surfaces that do not slip, so you can enjoy a wider variety of foods and speak more clearly in social and professional settings.
Support for Jawbone and Facial Structure
Because implants sit in the bone like natural tooth roots, they help stimulate and maintain jawbone volume, which supports your lips and cheeks and helps preserve your facial profile over time.
Natural-Looking, Fixed Aesthetics
Using modern materials and careful shade selection, Dr. Harouni designs implant restorations that complement your skin tone, facial shape, and remaining teeth. The goal is a smile that looks like it belongs to you and feels secure, so you can laugh and smile without worrying about movement.
Many adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have healthy gums, enough bone to support an implant, and are looking for a fixed, long-term way to restore their smile.
If you have been missing teeth for a while or have worn dentures, Dr. Harouni will evaluate your bone levels to see if bone grafting or other preparatory care is needed. Some patients do well with single implants, while others benefit from implant-supported bridges or dentures. During your visit, you will have time to review all options, ask questions, and choose the approach that best suits your needs, goals, and budget.
Most patients return to normal daily activities shortly after implant placement, often within a day or two. As your mouth heals, you may notice mild soreness, swelling, or a feeling of pressure near the implant sites, which usually improves over several days and can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief.
During the first week, you will need to eat softer foods and avoid chewing directly on the implant area. Good oral hygiene and following your written instructions support smooth healing. Follow-up visits allow Dr. Harouni to monitor bone integration and make sure everything is progressing as expected.
The benefits of well-planned dental implants become more noticeable as healing progresses. Once your final crown, bridge, or denture is attached, you will have a fuller smile, stronger chewing ability, and more confidence in social situations.
With good home care and regular checkups, implants can last for many years. Dr. Harouni and his hygiene team will show you how to clean around your implants, care for your gums, and protect your bite so your investment continues to support your smile long term.
Replacing missing teeth with implants calls for experience, careful planning, and an eye for detail. Dr. George Harouni brings more than 28 years of experience, including decades serving the local community, to every implant case. As a part-time clinical instructor at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine, he teaches future dentists how to place and restore implants in a way that protects the bite and looks natural.

With proper brushing and flossing, regular dental visits, and a stable bite, dental implants can last for many years, often decades. The crown or bridge on top may need replacement over time due to normal wear, but the implant post itself is intended as a long-term foundation.
In most cases, people will simply notice your smile, not your implants. Dr. Harouni carefully selects the shape, size, and shade of your crowns or bridges to match your features and any remaining teeth. Modern ceramics allow for natural-looking translucency and gum contours, so your restorations blend in instead of standing out.
The process of getting implants is usually very comfortable. During surgery, Dr. Harouni uses advanced anesthesia techniques to keep you relaxed and pain-free. It is normal to feel some soreness or pressure for a few days afterward, but this typically improves quickly and can be managed with simple home care and medication.
Traditional dentures rest on your gums and may rely on suction or clips for stability. Dental implants, on the other hand, are small posts placed in the jawbone that can support individual crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures. Implants provide extra stability and help preserve bone, but they involve a surgical procedure and higher upfront cost. During your visit, Dr. Harouni will explain which option best fits your health, goals, and budget.
