Missing teeth can impact your confidence, speech, and ability to enjoy the foods you love. At Southwest Dental Center, we offer durable, long-lasting dental implants that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.

Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking solution for missing teeth that restore both appearance and function.
Implants prevent bone loss and preserve your facial structure, making them a healthier long-term choice than traditional bridges or dentures.
The team at Southwest Dental Center provides comprehensive care, from consultation to final restoration, all under one roof in Fort Wayne.
After your bone grafting procedure, it is important to follow your dentist’s instructions for recovery, which may include dietary restrictions, medications, and avoiding strenuous activities.
Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These posts act as artificial roots and support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants are known for their strength, stability, and longevity – and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
Dental implants are a trusted solution for tooth replacement because they:
Prevent bone loss in the jaw
Help maintain your facial structure
Provide a secure, non-removable fit
Improve chewing, speech, and overall oral function
Look completely natural – no one will know they’re not your real teeth
If you’re missing one or more teeth and have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone, you’re likely a good candidate for implants. Dr. Rita George will evaluate your oral health and use digital imaging to determine the best treatment plan for your smile.
At Southwest Dental Center, we make the dental implant process smooth and stress-free:
Consultation & Planning: We take digital X-rays and 3D scans to create a customized plan.
Implant Placement: The titanium post is placed into the jawbone in a comfortable, in-office procedure.
Healing Period: Over a few months, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
Restoration: A custom crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached for a flawless finish.
Our Fort Wayne dental team is known for gentle care, advanced technology, and results that speak for themselves. Dr. Rita George’s experience ensures every implant is placed with precision, care, and attention to aesthetics.

Couldn't be happier. The staff was incredibly friendly. I broke a tooth, needed extracting,called in, and got very lucky with timing. In no time, they had me in and and out. I'm not a fan of dental work, but we were cracking jokes the entire time and we're very comforting. For the first time in years, I haven't had tooth pain, and I couldn't recommend them more. joan bowersApril 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

They helped me with an emergency and truly care about your follow ups. 🩷 Most dentists have left me feeling uncertain about my care and have even messed me up.
