Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile – they can impact your confidence, your ability to speak clearly, and your overall oral health. At Sanitas Family Dentistry, we offer advanced dental implant solutions to restore your smile and improve your quality of life.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into your jawbone by one of our exceptional surgical partners. Once the implant integrates with the bone, it provides a stable foundation for a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture that Dr. Krista will custom fabricate to fit on the implant base. This permanent solution looks, feels, and functions just like natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants mimic the appearance and functionality of your natural teeth, offering a seamless smile.

• Long-lasting: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, providing a durable solution to tooth loss.

• Improved Oral Health: Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, preserving your healthy natural teeth.

• Enhanced Comfort: Implants are fixed in place, offering more comfort and stability than removable dentures.

• Boosted Confidence: Enjoy the freedom to smile, speak, and eat without worrying about loose or missing teeth.

The Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant process typically occurs in several stages:

1. Consultation: During your initial visit, we will assess your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment goals.

2. Implant Placement: We work with exceptional implant placement experts that are had selected by Dr. Krista. The titanium implant is placed into the jawbone in a minimally invasive procedure. Over time, the bone heals around the implant, a process known as osseointegration.

3. Healing and Integration: Healing usually takes several months to ensure the implant bonds securely with the bone.

4. Placement of Restoration: Once the implant is fully integrated, Dr. Krista fabricates a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is placed to complete your restoration.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are suitable for most patients who have lost one or more teeth and have sufficient bone density to support the implant. We offer personalized consultations to determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs. Even if you have experienced bone loss, options such as bone grafting may allow you to proceed with dental implants.
