Looking for Dental Implants in Albuquerque that feel natural and last? You’re in the right place. At ABQ Gentle Dentistry, we place strong, lifelike implants and guide you through every step. Dr. Dan Lafferty meets with you, reviews your health history, and explains choices in plain language. We cover timelines, healing, and cost ranges before we start. You’ll leave your consult with clear next steps and a team that treats you like a person, not a chart. That’s our promise, and it shows up in the small things: warm greetings, on-time visits, and follow-up calls when needed.
Restore Everyday Comfort and Confidence
Missing teeth change how you eat, speak, and smile. Implants replace the root and the tooth, so your bite stays steady and your words stay clear. You chew crisp apples again and enjoy steak without fear. Your cheeks keep their shape, and your grin looks like you. We focus on everyday wins because that’s what matters at work, at home, and out with friends. If you’ve felt held back by a denture that slips or a gap that shows in photos, we can help turn those moments around.
Experienced Hands, Gentle Approach
Dr. Lafferty offers a measured pace and a steady chairside manner. We map each case carefully, outline timing, and check healing milestones so you always know what’s next.
Personalized Plans, Not One-Size-Fits-All
Your mouth, your goals, your timeline. We start with a one-on-one consult, digital X-rays, and a conversation about diet, habits, and smile goals. Then we design a plan that fits: single tooth, several teeth, or a full arch. We also talk about implant-supported dentures and how they compare to bridges. Want to explore how health and esthetics work together? See our Cosmetic Dentistry overview for ideas. We can also discuss “All-on-4s” when a full arch needs stable support.

What Your Visit Looks Like
Clear steps lower stress. Here’s the usual flow:
- Consultation with Dr. Lafferty
- Health review and timeline discussion
- Plan with phases and fees you can follow
- Surgery day tips, post-op care, and check-ins
- Final restoration and bite adjustment
- We schedule check-ins at sensible intervals and keep same-day phone support for quick questions. You’ll also get an easy home-care kit for the first week. Most visits finish on time, so you can get back to work or family plans without stress.
Health Benefits Beyond A Better Smile
Implants do more than fill a space. They help protect the jawbone and keep neighboring teeth stable. They spread chewing forces so you can enjoy a wider range of foods and speak clearly. Key benefits you’ll notice:
- Steady bite for everyday eating
- Support for clear speech and confident laughter
- Easier brushing and flossing around the area
- Long-term stability with routine checkups
- If you’re weighing crowns, bridges, or dentures, our Restorative Dentistry page explains how these pieces fit together.
Support From Day One to Year One
We stay with you at every step, from consult to long-term checks. Need coordination with a physician or a dentist you already see? We’ll connect and keep communication clear. Patients searching for Dental Implants in Albuquerque often want exact timelines, fast answers, and honest expectations. You’ll have all three. We plan the finish line, not just the surgery, and we celebrate when you take that first bite of your favorite food again. During healing, we share simple diet tips and cleaning routines that protect your progress.
