What Can Dental Implants Do for You?
Your new smile starts where missing teeth end. Dental implants are a great option for patients who have lost one or more teeth. Designed to mimic the look of natural teeth, implants offer both a functional and aesthetic solution. Unlike traditional dentures that slip and make speech challenging, dental implants provide long term stability, help preserve jawbone health, and restore confidence in daily activities such as eating, speaking, and smiling! With proper care, they can last for many years, making them one of the most reliable tooth replacement options available today. Based on your needs, Dr Stephen Sala may recommend single or multiple tooth dental implants, or a Hybridge full arch restoration.

The Process
Dr. Stephen Sala ensures that all of his patients are comfortable throughout the process. It is important to understand what is happening in your mouth and what your options are. We can often extract a damaged tooth and place a dental implant during the same appointment, reducing the number of visits needed, and making the process more convenient for you! We use advanced regenerative techniques that incorporate growth factors from your own blood and combine them to bone grafting material. This approach can significantly shorten the healing process from 13 months to as a few as 2 months!
For precise dental implant placement, we utilize state-of-the-art cone beam CT technology. This provides us with detailed 3D scans of your head. These scans give us an accurate representation of the bone levels in your jaw for the best placement of the implant. By combining advanced imaging with modern techniques, we can restore one or more teeth efficiently, comfortably, and in significantly less time.

How Implant Supported Dentures Work
Another option for patients with missing teeth is implant supported dentures, or permanent dentures. This involves placing a set of dental implants into the jawbone to support a set of custom-made dentures. Dentures are permanently secured in place so there is no risk of the dentures shifting or slipping. Implant supported dentures provide the stability needed for biting and chewing food and can help you live a confident and healthy life.

F.A.Q.
Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots, providing a strong, stable foundation for replacement teeth. Once placed, the implant fuses naturally with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation that allows your new implant to look and feel completely natural.
Most patients with one or more missing teeth are excellent candidates for implant dentistry. Ideal candidates have healthy gums, sufficient bone density, and no untreated oral infections. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your oral health and bone structure to determine if implants are right for you.
We provide a wide range of implant solutions, including single dental implants, implant supported bridges and dentures, full-arch dental implants, and Hybridge implants. Our team will design a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and goals.
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or longer – often a lifetime. To maintain your investment, brush and floss daily, visit us for regular cleanings, and avoid smoking or grinding your teeth.
