Looking to permanently replace a missing tooth? Dental implants are a great option for adult patients because they mimic the look and feel of real, existing teeth! An oral surgeon will place tiny, titanium rods into the jaw and attach a dental crown or bridge. This stimulates the jawbone, keeping it healthy and strong while restoring the functionality of the chewing surface.

Dental Implants Overview
Dental implants involve a surgical procedure to replace missing or damaged teeth. Gaps in your smile can cause more problems than just appearances. Your teeth will naturally move into a gap, changing the functionality of your chewing surfaces and leaving the gum line open to direct impact. This makes you vulnerable to infections and sores.
Dental implants can replace one tooth or even a full arch of teeth! You can have fully restored bite function in just a few months. Our dental implants are firmly attached to the jawbone, which makes them just as sturdy as natural teeth. Your smile will be as good as new!
Same-Day Tooth Replacement
Usually, the process of getting an implant takes several months. At Dental by Design, we can do better. We have amazing technology that allows us to place the implant and the restoration in the same appointment. You’ll be able to leave our office with a complete tooth replacement in place.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The main reason why people choose dental implants is because of their life-long security. Dental implants last longer than any other tooth replacement. They are artificial tooth replacements, but your body won’t know the difference! Dental implants keep the jawbone from weakening, changing the shape of our faces, and even altering our speech.
Here are just some of the benefits you can expect:
- Restored bone health. When we lose a tooth, we are also losing a connection to our jawbone which causes bone loss. Teeth stimulate the bone, keeping it strong and healthy. Dental implants work the same way as our natural teeth!
- Natural appearance. With color-matching composites, we can create an entirely new, false tooth that looks and feels just like the real thing. And the best part? It won’t ever get cavities!
- Permanence. Dental implants are so popular because they will last you for the rest of your life. Even if something happens to your dental crown, bridge, or denture, we can easily replace it.
- Easy maintenance. Artificial teeth are meant to be cleaned just like your existing teeth. Brush twice a day, floss, and use antimicrobial mouthwashes to keep your smile bright and shining for years to come.
- Restored bite alignment. Unlike other dental devices, you can fully bite down on your favorite foods without worrying about damaging your implants. Veneers can chip when we use full force to bite, which is why they are mainly only used on the front teeth.
Dental Implant FAQ
Why Is My Face Sunken?
Bone loss from missing teeth can create a weakened facial structure, causing facial sagging, sunken cheeks, or a shrunken jaw. Luckily, Dental by Design can do a bone graft and give you dental implants, restoring the functionality and look of your smile.
How Do Implants Compare To Other Tooth-Replacements?
Dentures can slip, or even fall out of our mouths when we talk or laugh. Dental implants are rooted straight into our jaw, there’s practically no chance of having this dental device fall out during family dinners.
Dentures can also be difficult to talk with. With dental implants, you can forget you ever got a tooth replaced. You’ll be able to talk and eat completely normally.
How Long Does it Take to Get Dental Implants?
The average time to get dental implants takes anywhere between 5 to 8 months. But it can be even faster with a same-day tooth replacement, which is available at Dental by Design, depending on your current condition. Our dentist will work with you on finding the right treatment plan just for you. With dental implants, you can get the smile of your dreams, and turn back the clock in half a year or less.
