At Little Mountain Dental, we understand the profound impact that missing teeth can have on your oral health, function, and confidence. That’s why we offer comprehensive dental implant services, providing a long-lasting and natural-looking solution to restore your smile. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, dental implants offer a stable and durable foundation for replacement teeth, mimicking the function of natural tooth roots. We pride ourselves on performing the entire dental implant procedure in-house, ensuring continuity of care and a seamless experience for our patients.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing lost or damaged teeth. They are most often recommended for our patients who have the following:
- Missing teeth. You have one or more missing or severely damaged teeth.
- Healthy gums. Your gums are healthy, or any gum disease is treated.
- Sufficient jawbone. You have adequate jawbone density to adequately support your new implant.
- Proper oral hygiene. You're committed to regular brushing and flossing.
- Seeking a long-term tooth loss solution. You want a stable, lasting tooth replacement.
The Dental Implant Process at Little Mountain Dental
The process begins with a thorough consultation at our Little Mountain Dental office. During this appointment, we'll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. We utilize advanced imaging technology, including 3D digital x-rays, to create a detailed map of your jawbone and plan your implant placement with precision. This meticulous planning is crucial for ensuring the long-term success of your dental implants.
Once we’ve developed a customized treatment plan, the next step involves the placement of the dental implant itself. At Little Mountain Dental, Dr. Jeff Budrys performs this procedure in-house, ensuring that you receive consistent and personalized care from our experienced team. The titanium implant post is carefully inserted into your jawbone, where it will fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This process typically takes several months, providing a strong and stable foundation for your replacement tooth.
After osseointegration is complete, we’ll place an abutment, a small connector post, onto the implant. This abutment serves as the attachment point for your custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture. We work closely with skilled dental technicians to create restorations that match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result. The final restoration is then securely attached to the abutment, restoring your smile’s function and aesthetics.
Choosing dental implants at Little Mountain Dental offers numerous benefits. They provide superior stability and support compared to traditional dentures or bridges, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dental implants also help prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure, contributing to your long-term oral health. By performing the entire implant procedure in-house, we ensure that you receive consistent and personalized care from our skilled team, eliminating the need for referrals to outside specialists.
