What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a popular tooth-replacement solution, but what exactly are they? In short, they stand out from other options because they replace the root and crown of the tooth. To accomplish this, a small post is surgically inserted directly into the jawbone. A restoration is then securely placed on top to restore the visible portion of the tooth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or all of your teeth, dental implants can give you the strong, complete, and beautiful smile you’ve been missing!
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
For every patient, the first step is a consultation with our talented prosthodontist, Dr. Tyagi. After learning about your dental history, asking about your goals, and getting a better understanding of the state of your oral health, he will be able to determine if dental implants are the best solution for you.
If no preliminary procedures are needed, like gum disease treatment, then the next step will be the placement surgery. After making a small incision in the gums, your dentist will insert the implant post directly into the jawbone before placing a protective cap over the top.
Following this appointment, the healing process called “osseointegration” will take place. This is when the jawbone and the dental implant fuse together. Typically, this takes between three and six months.
Once you’ve healed, we will secure the restoration to the top of the implant, rebuilding the visible portion of your tooth. This can be done with a dental crown, bridge, or denture.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer patients a multitude of benefits, including the fact that they:
- Can last for 30+ years with proper care.
- Prevent bone loss, which preserves your youthful face shape.
- Are custom designed for each patient.
- Create strong, healthy bites.
- Are easy to maintain.
Who Dental Implants Can Help
Are you missing one tooth, several teeth, or an entire row? Thankfully, dental implants are extremely versatile, allowing them to help patients at all stages of tooth loss. To learn more about how dental implants can fill the gaps in your smile and provide you with a strong bite again, read on!
Missing One Tooth
If there is a gap in your smile from a single missing tooth, then you’ll be happy to hear we can fill it with a dental implant. After placing it securely in your jawbone, we will anchor a custom dental crown to the top. This will effectively replace the root and crown of the tooth, improving the look and strength of your smile.
Missing Multiple Teeth
If you’re missing two or more teeth consecutively, then we may recommend an implant bridge. Different than a traditional dental bridge, an implant bridge anchors the pontics (new teeth) in place with dental implants instead of crowns. In addition to providing better stability, this solution means your surrounding healthy teeth don’t need to be altered!
Missing All of Your Teeth
If you don’t have any of your natural teeth left, then an implant denture may be the best option. To replace an entire arch, we will strategically place a few dental implants throughout your mouth and attach a denture over top. There are removable and permanently fixed options available as well, which adds to their versatility.
All-on-X & All-on-Four
Traditionally, dental implant prosthetics can require the placement of six or even more dental implants along one arch. The transformative alternatives, All-on-Four and All-on-X, limit the number of implants required while still providing outstanding security, function, and aesthetic value to patients who’ve suffered with tooth loss for too long. This process can be completed in as little as one day, significantly reducing the healing time for the patient.

As mentioned above, dental implants are completely personalized to each patient. As a result, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to the price.
