If you are missing one or multiple teeth, dental implants permanently replace the root structure of the missing teeth. An implant helps preserve the entire structure of the area, including the bone and gums, all while restoring your natural smile.

You can’t detect implants in someone’s mouth. It simply anchors a crown, denture, or partial denture to the mouth. Dental implants most often take the form of a screw-shaped titanium post.

Dental implants have a documented success rate of over 95%, which is higher than any other tooth replacement option. Although the initial cost of a dental implant is slightly higher than that of other options, it proves to be the most cost-effective solution over time. An implant will never decay as long as it is taken care of properly.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Your options for replacing missing teeth include dentures (full or partial), a dental bridge, or dental implants. At Dr. Strandburg’s office, we believe dental implants are the most ideal solution for several reasons:

Implants do not affect adjacent teeth. A bridge, however, requires shaving down perfectly healthy teeth to act as anchors for the bridge.
Implants are more comfortable and aesthetic than full or partial dentures. Dental implants feel and look like natural teeth, while dentures can feel uncomfortable and unnatural.
Caring for dental implants is easy because you clean them just like you would your real teeth.
Implants maintain the strength and health of your jawbone.
Implants are a permanent solution to tooth loss if you care for them properly.

Tooth Replacement Options with Dental Implants

row settings

Replace One Tooth

A single implant can be inserted into the bone at the location of the missing tooth. After it is left in the bone to heal for several months, a final crown is attached.

Replace Multiple Teeth

If you have more than one tooth missing, instead of placing an implant at each missing tooth location, implants can be used as supports for fixed bridgework.

Replace All Teeth

Implants can be used as anchors for dentures (overdentures) to prevent them from slipping while eating and speaking. Dr. Strandburg also offers a full-arch implant-supported option, also known as All-on-X. This is a modern dental procedure that replaces an entire upper or lower arch of missing teeth with a fixed, permanent bridge supported by a variable number (“X”) of dental implants, typically 4, 5, or 6 strategically placed into the jawbone.
