Why Replacing Missing Teeth Is Important

dental implant and crown restorationHaving even a single missing tooth can have a detrimental impact on your oral health and general well-being. Missing teeth can affect the jawbone and diminish the vitality of tissues supporting your facial structure. In addition, missing teeth can cause you to develop an improper bite, potentially interfering with your ability to chew or speak effectively. The gaps left by missing teeth can also shift other teeth out of alignment by allowing them more space to move.

Dental implants prevent these issues and allow you to enjoy better oral health and quality of life. Our Las Vegas dental implants restore both the form and function of your bite. They reduce bone loss by keeping the jawbone stimulated, helping you to maintain a youthful appearance. Best of all, they closely match the color of surrounding teeth, so it’s nearly impossible to tell them apart from your natural teeth.

Our Las Vegas Dental Implant Process

Getting dental implants is a multi-step process. Each procedure varies from person to person, as no individual’s oral health needs are the same. Treatment can take six months to a year to complete. Your care may include detailed consultations, exams, planning, and bone graft procedures when needed. The typical steps in dental implant treatment include:

Evaluation: First, our team will carefully evaluate your oral health. We use a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT} scan to get complete and detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jaws. If gum disease is present, we will address the problem with scaling and root planing. We may need to perform thorough and frequent cleanings to restore your gum health before placing your implant.


Pre-Treatments: The next step is to prepare your jaw for implant surgery by performing any necessary extractions and bone grafting. If needed, we will provide a referral for a sinus lift. After completing the required preliminary procedures, we can begin implant placement.


Placement of Post: Titanium posts are surgically placed in the jaw with precision. Each post works to help secure a dental prosthetic in place and provide long-term stability.


Healing Period: Once the implant placement surgery is complete, the implant site must heal for up to six months. Your healing time may fluctuate depending on the scope of work we perform.


Adding the Restoration: The last step is to attach your new dental prosthetic to the implant post. We offer single crowns to replace one tooth and bridges and dentures for multiple missing teeth.

All-On-4® Implant Method

All-On-4 implants are suitable if you have no healthy teeth remaining. This technique uses just four dental implants strategically placed to secure a complete set of dentures. The procedure is relatively quick, convenient, and provides reliable comfort. We work with a specialist to place your implants, and then our team will make sure your dentures fit comfortably.

Do Dental Implants Need Special Care?

After being placed, dental implants do not require any special maintenance or care; just brush and floss them like regular teeth. Following a consistent oral hygiene routine is all that’s needed to keep dental implants in good shape and help them last for many years.
