What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots, providing a secure foundation for replacement teeth. They integrate with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable, durable solution for tooth loss. Once healed, implants support a custom crown, bridge, or denture, offering a natural look and function.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement because they:
- Look and feel natural – Custom restorations blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth
- Prevent bone loss – Stimulate the jawbone, maintaining facial structure and preventing deterioration
- Improve chewing and speaking – Function like natural teeth, restoring full bite strength
- Are long-lasting – With proper care, implants can last decades or even a lifetime
- Do not affect neighboring teeth – Unlike bridges, implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support
Whether you need to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch, implants provide a stable, permanent solution for tooth loss.
Types of Dental Implants We Offer
Single-Tooth Implants
A single dental implant replaces an individual missing tooth with a titanium post and a custom crown. It functions independently and preserves the integrity of surrounding teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
For multiple missing teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge provides a stable and long-lasting solution without relying on natural teeth for support.
Full-Arch Dental Implants
Patients missing all their upper or lower teeth can benefit from a full-arch restoration with implants. Options include:
- All-on-4® Dental Implants – Four strategically placed implants support a permanent, full-arch prosthetic
- Implant-Supported Dentures – More secure and stable than traditional removable dentures
The Dental Implant Process
Step 1: Consultation & Treatment Planning
Dr. Emily Conley will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and use advanced imaging to determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants.
Step 2: Implant Placement
A titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation. The area is allowed to heal while the implant integrates with the bone over several months.
Step 3: Abutment & Restoration Placement
Once healing is complete, a custom abutment (connector) is placed on the implant, followed by a custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture to restore your smile.
Step 4: Enjoy Your New Smile
With proper care, your dental implants will look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. However, some factors may affect eligibility, including:
- Insufficient jawbone density – Bone grafting may be required before implant placement
- Gum disease or infection – Must be treated before receiving implants
- Chronic health conditions – Uncontrolled diabetes or certain medical conditions may impact healing
- Smoking or tobacco use – Can slow the healing process and affect implant success
During your consultation, we will evaluate your oral health and discuss custom treatment options to ensure the best outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant post itself is permanent, while the attached restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) may need replacement after 10-15 years.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, as the procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation. Any post-surgical soreness is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
How long does the implant process take?
The entire process, from implant placement to final restoration, can take several months due to the healing and integration period. However, immediate-load implants may be an option for some patients.
Can dental implants fail?
While rare, implant failure can occur due to infection, poor healing, or lack of bone integration. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits can help ensure long-term implant success.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Coverage varies depending on the insurance provider and the reason for treatment. Our team will help review your benefits and discuss flexible financing options if needed.
