What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials such as titanium that are surgically placed into your bone. Once placed, they provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.

Dental Implants – The Best Solution for Missing Teeth
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants are the best solution to restore your smile and oral function. A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth root. Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, a dental crown or bridge or a denture is attached to the implant to complete the restoration.
Dental implants offer several benefits over tooth replacement options, such as removable prosthesis. They look and feel like natural teeth, are more comfortable and stable, and help maintain the jawbone’s structure by stimulating bone growth.
Implant-Supported Prosthesis Options
Single Tooth Implants
Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth, this involves placing one dental implant and attaching a crown. It looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Used when multiple teeth are missing. Unlike traditional bridges, these are supported by implants rather than adjacent teeth, providing more stability and preserving natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
A secure alternative to traditional dentures, these are anchored by implants. They can be removable or fixed, offering improved comfort, stability, and chewing efficiency.
All-on-4/All-on-6
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, this solution uses 4 or 6 implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. It provides a stable and permanent set of teeth with fewer implants.
The Dental Implant Process at Young Smiles Family Practice
Consultation: During your initial consultation, our experienced dental team will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Implant Placement: The dental implant placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia for your comfort. Our skilled dentist will precisely place the implants into your bone.
Healing and Integration: Over the following weeks, the implants will fuse with your bone through a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for your new teeth which acts similar to your tooth roots.
Custom Restoration: Once the implants have fully integrated, custom-made restorations will be securely attached to the implants, completing your smile transformation.
Follow-Up Care: We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the longevity of your dental implants. Regular check-ups and cleanings at Young Smiles Family Practice will help maintain your oral health and the integrity of your implants.
