Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Implants look, function, and feel like natural teeth and can last a lifetime with proper care and good overall health. Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing or damaged teeth. They look and feel like natural teeth. If you’ve lost your natural teeth, you know it negatively affects everything. Functionally it improves how you eat and speak. And you won’t have to avoid the satisfying crunchy foods you crave. Replacing your missing teeth with implants can give you back your youthful facial support and the confidence to unleash your biggest smile.
The implant itself is a small post, usually made of titanium, placed in the jawbone to replace the missing root. Over time, the bone fuses with the implant for a stable foundation for replacement teeth (crowns). Crowns are also used to complete dental implants. The crown is the visible part. Implants not only provide a base for crowns; they improve the jaw bone quality caused by missing teeth. Dental implants have transformed how we approach full and partial tooth replacement.
If you want to restore your smile and once again be comfortable eating, smiling, and enjoying your life, dental implants may be the answer!

A single tooth implant is cost-effective to replace a missing tooth. It is a superior alternative to a tooth supported bridge that requires cutting the adjacent teeth. A dental implant, by contrast, replaces an entire tooth from the root up. Because it is permanent, you care for it like your natural teeth.
You can get replacement teeth for multiple lost teeth with several single implants or opt for implant dentures, which replace several teeth in one complete prosthetic that attaches to one or more implants.
A full arch bridge can be designed and attached to between four and six implants spaced around the jawbone for anyone with a complete row of upper or lower teeth. The full arch bridge can be permanently attached requiring minimal alteration over the life of the bridge.
Full mouth reconstruction is the most extensive form of dental implants, involving replacing all the teeth, both top and bottom. This treatment is usually life-changing for individuals with serious facial trauma or multiple damaged teeth.
The dental implant process is simple. After consultation and diagnosis with Dr. Davidson, we prioritize your goals with a treatment plan that works for you. We then place the implants, allow time for the bone to fuse, and fit your permanent replacement teeth.
Most patients manage the first week with over-the-counter pain relief and a soft-food diet, and any mild swelling or tenderness typically settles within a few days of placement. The integration period that follows, usually three to six months, is when the implant fuses with the jawbone, and it passes without discomfort for most patients. We check progress at scheduled visits and let you know when you are ready for your permanent crown.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on how many teeth need replacing, their location, and whether bone grafting is needed. Dental implants preserve bone structure and let you chew more comfortably, making them well worth the cost.
