Smile Gallery: Dental Implants

If you’re missing a tooth, a dental implant can be one of the best ways to restore your smile and confidence. Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. The implant itself is a small titanium post that replaces the root of your missing tooth. Once it has healed, a custom crown is attached to complete your smile, giving you the function and appearance of a natural tooth. 

Why Choose a Dental Implant? 

A successful dental implant does more than fill a gap in your smile — it restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile with ...

This patient came to us with numerous missing, chipped, and decayed teeth. His goal was to be able to smile confidently, chew comfortably, and have something that would be easy to maintain as he ages.

We used our Acteon 3D x-ray machine to evaluate his jaws and determined that he was an ideal candidate for dental implants. In collaboration with his family, he decided to move forward with implant retained overdentures to meet his cosmetic, functional, and long-term maintenance goals.

Comprehensive dentistry is an approach to oral health that focuses on addressing your overall dental needs instead of treating a single tooth problem. The purpose is to develop a personalized plan that considers your unique dental history, current dental health status, and long-term dental goals. The plan may include preventive care, restorative procedures, orthodontic treatment, oral surgery, and or cosmetic procedures to improve health, function, and appearance.

This patient came to us because she was tired of seeing a different doctor every time she went to her previous dental office and wanted a long-term plan to improve her overall dental health. ...

A long term patient of our practice broke the crown off an endodontically treated tooth and unfortunately the tooth was non-restorable. 

We were able to place a dental implant at the same time we removed the tooth (immediate dental implant). After four months of healing we made a temporary crown to create an ideal shape to the gums around the implant. Shaping the gum tissue helps to minimize getting food trapped around the implant and guides the laboratory on how to shape the final crown. 

The final restoration was custom ceramic crown fitted to a custom gold-hue titanium abutment. The final photos ...

It can be scary to lose a front tooth! Thankfully dental implants can offer an excellent solution to replace a single tooth without harming the adjacent teeth. 

For our patient, a dental implant replaced the root of the missing tooth and the bone of the jaw healed around it. Sometimes we are able to make an immediate temporary crown or a temporary replacement option, but our patient opted to go without any replacement while the implant healed. After the implant healed we were able to create a custom crown to blend in naturally with the other teeth.

Our patient had a previous tooth supported bridge that failed. We decided to replace the failed bridge and missing teeth with an implant supported bridge. First, we removed the roots of the decayed teeth and placed a bone graft. Once the bone graft healed, we were able to place two dental implants to replace the missing tooth roots. The dental implants healed underneath the gum tissue for several months. Once the dental implants were healed (integrated), we uncovered them and placed a temporary implant supported bridge. The temporary implant supported bridge helped shape the gum tissue around the implants and ...

This patient has worn a denture for many years, but grew tired of the bottom denture moving, coming out, and having difficulty speaking and eating. We planned his implant placement using a 3D x-ray and a scan of his mouth. Two implants were placed and locator attachments were used to connect a new denture to the implants. Now his denture snaps into place, is much more stable, doesn't come out while speaking or eating, and is much more comfortable. He was even able to eat corn on the cob!
