Dental Implants
If you need a solution to replace one or more missing teeth, dental implants are an excellent alternative to full and partial dentures and bridges. At Dahle Family Dentistry, we use dental implants to restore your smile and chew comfortably without altering healthy teeth and without removable dentures.
Dr. Daniel Dahle is pleased to offer full implant dentistry services here at our friendly Ontario, OR, dental office. He will place your implant and then restore it with a crown, bridge, or denture that looks natural and complements your smile.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
A dental implant is a miniature titanium screw that replaces a missing tooth root. Before deciding if this tooth replacement is your best option, Dr. Daniel performs a comprehensive exam at our Ontario, OR, dental office.
Implant Placement
Next, we schedule your implant procedure, where Dr. Daniel expertly places the implant surgically in the jawbone. We do everything to ensure your complete comfort, including offering dental sedation and amenities like a neck pillow and blanket.
Of course, we also use a strong local anesthetic to numb the area before we begin to ensure that you don't feel pain.
Implant Healing & Restoration
For the next 3–6 months, a process called osseointegration occurs as bone and tissue grow around the implant, creating a stable foundation for the implant tooth. When healing is complete, we restore the implant with a custom dental crown that blends seamlessly with your smile.
When the process is complete, no one will ever guess it's not your natural tooth!
What Are Some Dental Implant Benefits?
Dental implants have proven to be extremely reliable, and during their use, they've achieved an impressive 98% success rate. A dental implant offers many other benefits, including:
- Looks, feels, and functions like a real tooth
- Lasts a lifetime when cared for properly
- Provides more stability than removable prosthetics
- Helps maintain a healthy jawbone
- Replaces one, several, or all missing teeth
- Fills out facial features to prevent an aged or sunken appearance
How Implant-Supported Dentures Can Benefit You
Do your removable dentures slip, shift, and cause irritation and soreness? If you want a more stable solution, implant-supported dentures are an excellent option. Implant dentures let you speak, chew, and smile confidently because they are secured by dental implants placed in your jawbone.
You can enjoy greater confidence with implant dentures because they won't move or fall out unexpectedly and cause embarrassing moments. And since they are so stable, implant dentures allow you to eat all your favorite foods comfortably.
If you have older removable dentures that don't fit well or you want a tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth, implant dentures may be the solution to give you back your smile.
