Our Dental Implant Services

Single Tooth Implants: Single tooth implants replace one missing tooth at a time. A titanium dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root that supports a natural-looking replacement crown. This option is ideal for patients missing just one tooth who want a permanent, stand-alone tooth replacement solution.
All-on-4 Implants: All-on-4 treatment restores a full arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants, offering strong support with a more conservative approach to bone involvement. It's designed for patients who need a complete upper or lower arch restoration without the bulk of traditional dentures.
Implant-Supported Dentures: Implant-supported dentures combine the familiarity of dentures with the added stability of implants anchored in the jaw. For patients who find traditional removable dentures unstable or uncomfortable, this option offers a noticeably more secure fit.
Full Mouth Restoration: Full mouth restoration rebuilds both the upper and lower arches using a combination of dental implants and other restorative procedures. It's designed for patients who need a complete overhaul of their smile rather than an isolated fix.
Implant-Supported Bridges: Implant-supported bridges replace multiple adjacent missing teeth by anchoring the bridge to implants instead of relying on neighboring natural teeth for support. This helps preserve the health of your remaining teeth while restoring function and appearance.

How Are Dental Implants Placed?

Dental implant treatment begins with the surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone, followed by a healing period, often a few months, during which the bone integrates with the implant to create a strong, stable foundation. Once healing is complete, a custom crown or restoration is attached to the implant.

While implant rejection is uncommon, it can occur in a small percentage of cases. When it does, the implant is typically replaced with a new one. Patients missing a single tooth may be given a temporary appliance to wear while the permanent restoration is being prepared.

In cases where the jawbone doesn't have enough density to support a dental implant, bone grafting may be recommended to build up the area before implant placement. Our team will walk you through whether this step applies to your treatment plan during your dental implant consultation.

Dental Implant Post-Operative Care

Following your dental implant procedure, a smooth recovery depends largely on how you care for the surgical site in the days after treatment. Most patients experience only mild discomfort, and many describe the recovery as easier than they expected.

Bleeding: Some minor oozing is normal in the first several hours. Apply firm, steady pressure with gauze, changing it as needed until bleeding subsides, usually within the first day.
Diet: Stick to soft foods immediately following surgery, such as smoothies, soups, mashed potatoes, and soft pasta. Avoid small, hard, or crunchy foods that could get lodged near the surgical site.
Swelling: Ice packs applied in short intervals during the first 24 hours can help minimize swelling, which may continue to build for two to three days after your procedure.
Activity: Plan to rest and avoid strenuous activity for the first few days to support healing and reduce the risk of complications.
Medication: Take any prescribed medication as directed, and reach out to our office with any questions about managing discomfort during recovery.

If you experience anything that feels outside the ordinary during your recovery, don't hesitate to contact our Union City office.

Dental Implants FAQ’s

1. What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a titanium fixture placed in the jaw to replace a missing tooth root. Once it fuses with the bone, a custom replacement tooth is attached, giving you a result that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.

2. What are the benefits of dental implants?

Implants are a strong option for patients who struggle with loose-fitting dentures, want to avoid removable partials, or need a tooth replacement that doesn't rely on adjacent healthy teeth for support.

3. Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Most patients healthy enough for routine extractions or fixed bridgework are also candidates for dental implants. A consultation with our Union City implant dentist team is the best way to confirm what's right for your case.

4. What does the dental implant procedure involve?

Many implants can be placed in one or two office visits, with additional appointments needed to fit the final restoration. Depending on your case, some bone building may be required before placement.

5. How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, implants can last for decades. We recommend a consistent maintenance routine to help protect your investment long-term.
