Premier Tooth Replacement is Now Within Reach
A tooth consists of a root and a crown. To remain fully functional, it needs both components to keep the jawbone dense and strong enough to support your pearly whites. When one or more teeth go missing, you have the option to replace only the crown using a dental bridge or denture; however, if you want to avoid bone resorption over time, it’s best to opt for a solution that will also bring back the tooth root – dental implants. If you are interested in finding out whether you are a candidate for this premier method of tooth replacement, contact us today.

What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants consist of three parts: the restoration (crown, bridge, or denture), the abutment (metal connector), and the implant post (root). These titanium posts deliver continuous stimulation to the jaw to minimize additional bone and tooth loss in the future. When surgically placed within the jaw, they will fuse with the surrounding tissues to create a foundation of support for the new crown, bridge, or denture that will be secured on top.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – You will meet with Dr. Kiesel to determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants. In most cases, patients need additional treatment to address problems such as gum disease, tooth decay, or bone loss before being able to receive dental implants.
- Dental Implant Surgery – Once you are cleared for surgery, we will refer you to an outside specialist who will place your implants into the appropriate positions along the jawbone. This will require the use of anesthesia to ensure you are numb and comfortable throughout the procedure.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – After your implants are put into place, you will spend 4-6 months allowing osseointegration to occur, which is the fusing of the implants with the bone. Once you’re fully healed, you’ll come back to receive the metal abutments, which will help to hold your restoration in place.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – The final step is to receive your crown, bridge, or denture. Using impressions taken of your smile, we will work with local labs to create a natural-looking restoration that looks and feels great when put into place.
Benefits of Dental Implants
When compared to more traditional forms of tooth replacement (i.e., dentures, dental bridges), dental implants offer far greater benefits – the kind that cannot be replicated with other solutions. They offer optimal stability because of their placement within the jawbone. They also make it easy to eat the foods you love, speak without slurring your words, clean your teeth without special materials, and enjoy a solution that can last 20-30+ years with the right kind of care.
