With dental implants, you can permanently restore missing teeth, whether it’s one, several, or all of them.
Dental implants are a revolutionary restorative solution for our patients who have missing teeth. Unlike traditional treatments like dentures or bridges, dental implants offer a permanent and anatomical design that mirrors natural teeth. When integrated with your supporting bone, implants are extremely durable and allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
At their core, dental implants consist of three essential components:
Dental implants offer numerous advantages, including:
At Ballpark Heights Family Dental, Dr. Scott McPherson and our experienced team of dental professionals are dedicated to ensuring your dental implant procedure is a comfortable and successful experience. The entire process begins with a thorough examination and evaluation of your supporting bone structures. During this appointment, Dr. McPherson will evaluate your tissue and bone health, take X-rays or a 3D scan, and discuss your goals and concerns. This information helps us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
When you’re ready to begin treatment, we’ll plan for your surgical date. This minimally invasive procedure is typically performed with local anesthetic. We will take special steps to ensure you are comfortable throughout the entire visit. Once your gum tissue is numb, we create a small opening, and the implant is precisely positioned into the bone.
Following your procedure, a healing period is necessary to allow the implant to fuse with the jawbone. This process, known as osseointegration, ensures the stability and strength of the implant. When osseointegration is complete, the abutment and fixed restoration are installed.
Regular checkups and good oral hygiene habits are essential to maintain your dental implants. The key is to clean them regularly and keep the supporting gum and bone tissues as healthy as possible. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are needed; if special cleaning aids are recommended (such as floss threaders or water flossers,) we will review those with you.
