Dental Implants
Regain a complete, confident smile with durable and natural-looking dental implants at Family Dentist Tree.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a fixed solution for missing teeth, designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. A titanium post acts as an artificial root to support a crown, bridge, or denture. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or need a full-arch replacement, dental implants provide a stable, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing solution.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Restores Natural Function and Appearance
Implants mimic the structure of natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. They blend seamlessly with your existing teeth for a natural look.
Prevents Bone Loss
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area begins to deteriorate. Implants stimulate the bone, preventing bone loss caused by missing teeth.
Long-Term, Reliable Solution
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike dentures or bridges, they don’t require adjustments or replacements as frequently, making them a cost-effective long-term investment in your oral health.
Types of Implant Restorations
We offer a full range of implant solutions tailored to your needs.
A single implant replaces an individual missing tooth with a custom-crafted crown. This solution restores full function and aesthetics without altering adjacent teeth.
For patients missing multiple teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge offers a stable and secure restoration. Unlike traditional bridges, this option doesn’t rely on neighboring teeth for support.
Also known as “snap-in” dentures, these are securely anchored to implants for improved stability and comfort compared to traditional removable dentures. They eliminate slipping and make eating and speaking easier.
All-on-X implants provide full-arch tooth replacement using as few as four implants per arch. This solution is ideal for patients who need a complete smile transformation and want a fixed, non-removable alternative to dentures.
If you’ve experienced bone loss or need additional support for implant placement, we offer preparatory procedures like bone grafting and alveoloplasty to ensure a strong foundation for long-term implant success.
The Dental Implant Treatment Process
01
Consultation and Planning
We begin with a comprehensive exam, including 3D imaging, to evaluate your bone structure and determine the best implant placement strategy. We discuss your treatment options and create a personalized plan.
02
Implant Placement
A small titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone, acting as the new root for your tooth. Over the next few months, the implant naturally fuses with the bone, ensuring stability.
03
Restoration and Final Placement
Once the implant has fully integrated, we attach a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. The final result looks and functions similar to a natural tooth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown or denture attached to the implant may need periodic replacement, but the implant itself is designed for long-term durability.
Most patients with good overall health and sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. If you have bone loss, procedures like bone grafting can help prepare your jaw for successful implant placement.
The healing process varies by patient, but most implants take three to six months to fully integrate with the jawbone. During this time, we provide guidance on post-surgical care to ensure optimal healing.
