Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants provide many benefits and can be life-changing. Teeth implants are made out of titanium and are durable, allowing you to eat and speak with ease. At Corner Canyon Family Dental, we provide high-quality and gentle care and listen to our patients to help you decide if dental implants are right for you.

Function Restoration

Dental implants can help restore teeth, mouth, and jaw function and allow you to eat and speak like you would with natural teeth. You can relax in front of others and do not have to worry about your teeth slipping or falling out as is often the case with dentures or dental bridges. Tooth implants are permanent and act like natural teeth, giving you a beautiful natural smile.

Stimulates Bone Growth

Dental implants can stabilize other teeth in the mouth and prevent deterioration. Implants also stimulate bone regeneration and can help to restore bone density that has been lost. Other tooth replacement options such as dentures or bridgework do not offer this stability and oral health benefit. Not replacing missing teeth can cause other teeth in the mouth to move out of place and cause the jaw to look sunken in.

Durable

Dental implants are made out of titanium and are extremely durable. Tooth implants can last upwards of 15 years or a lifetime if they are cared for properly. Implants can withstand heavy pressure, and in some cases are stronger than our natural teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are permanent and provide a solution that requires little maintenance and a very low risk for replacement or repair.

Life-Changing

Implants can change your life and boost your self-confidence around others. There is no need to worry about others knowing you had dental work done. Implants look and feel natural and function just like your natural teeth. Taking that first step towards a new smile can rid you of pain and allow you to enjoy life again.

Caring for Implants Is Easy

Dental implants are cared for similarly to our natural teeth. Brushing and flossing are recommended daily and following good oral hygiene habits at home can keep your implants looking and feeling great. We recommend regular dental appointments at least twice a year to ensure your dental implants and overall oral health look great.

Implants in One Convenient Location

Corner Canyon Family Dental is proud to be able to perform the entire implant process right in the comfort of our Draper, UT implant dentistry office. Patients can restore their smiles and don’t have to run around to multiple locations. This is convenient and allows for a better overall experience for our patients.

Am I a Candidate for Implant Dentistry?

Most patients are good candidates for dental implants, and our detailed consultation process can determine if implants are the right choice. Our doctors will complete an exam and review your health history to develop a customized treatment plan. Ideal candidates should be in good general and oral health and have adequate bone in the jaw to support the implants. For patients that may not have enough bone in the jaw, we offer bone grafts or sinus lifts to help provide proper support. This requires additional preparation before you can begin the implant process.

Corner Canyon Family Dental is also proud to offer mini dental implants as another implant dentistry option for our patients. Mini dental implants can help patients that may not have enough bone density enjoy the benefits of dental implants. Mini dental implants are less invasive and don’t require as much jaw bone to be present.

How Does Bone Grafting Work?

If patients require a bone graft or sinus lift this can help restore bone density and provide proper support for the dental implants. Our bone grafting process can help thicken the jawbone, and add that necessary support to allow your implants to fuse to the jawbone.

Depending on the condition of your jaw bone and implant location, we will determine what type of bone grafting is necessary. Bone grafting involves placing synthetic bone material in the jaw to help secure the placement of your dental implants. There is a healing process involved with bone grafting, and the healing period can take between 8-12 months. Our consultation and exam process can help determine if you require bone grafting before your implants are placed.

At Corner Canyon Family Dental, we want all of our patients to be able to receive the dental care they need, and our doctors will work above and beyond to help you restore your smile.

How Much Do Tooth Implants Cost?

Dental implants are an investment in your oral health and overall well-being. Most patients are concerned about cost and during our consultation process, our team will discuss costs and offer financing options and payment plans to fit any budget. The cost for dental implants depends on the condition of your teeth and the number of implants that are required.

Dental implants are a permanent solution that can last a lifetime. Other tooth replacement options require regular maintenance or replacement and will not last as long. For patients that choose to not replace missing teeth, this can cause future complications and costly visits to the dentist. Taking control of your health with a durable tooth replacement option can save you pain and money in the future.

Many insurance plans do not cover dental implants, or some may only cover a portion of the implant surgery. We recommend all patients check with their insurance company prior to starting the implant process to understand their coverage. Medical policies may offer coverage and our team can help answer any questions you may have to help you understand what you will be responsible for after your treatment.

Dental implants are a long-term investment, and even though they may cost more compared to other replacement options, implants will provide you with a long-lasting smile. Take that first step towards restoring your smile with an option that will give you years of enjoyment and improve your oral health.

The Dental Implant Process

When speaking of a dental implant, many refer to a two-part cosmetic dental piece consisting of an implant and a tooth restoration. Together, these two pieces make up an entire artificial tooth and “root” to replace a tooth you have lost.

The Implant

Acting as the “root” of your new tooth, the implant is made of titanium and is surgically placed into the jaw bone under the gums. The implant’s job is to provide a stable and strong foundation for the restoration to be permanently secured to prevent unwanted movement. Many patients who are looking for a restoration to become permanent take advantage of dental implants.

Before receiving your new tooth, the implant must be surgically placed into the bone and healed completely. Healing time after implant placement is typically around six months. Due to new dental findings, dental implants can help support multiple different types and sizes of restorations rather than just a single tooth.

The Restoration

Generally, when one needs a dental implant to complete their smile, they search for a single-tooth restoration to be placed on the implant. A single-tooth repair is an artificial, custom-made porcelain tooth designed to be secured onto the implant. Implants can also support other restorations such as bridges and dentures.

Convenient Process

At Corner Canyon Family Dental, we perform the entire dental implant process in our office. Patients only need to visit one location, making the experience positive and comfortable. Our doctors only use the latest dental technology and surgical guides to help place the implants in the optimal position to guarantee results. Moving forward with dental implants can be stressful, and our team wants the process to be as easy as possible for our patients.

Why Get an Implant?

• When it comes to the health of your smile, if you are missing a tooth for an extended time due to the lack of stimulation caused by chewing, the bone and surrounding tissues start to deteriorate. Implants allow the stimulation of the bone to continue.
• If gums and bones start and continue to deteriorate, other surrounding teeth can be at risk for falling out.
• Dental implants are permanent and can’t be removed by anyone but a dental professional.
• Each restoration made in our office in Draper, UT, is fabricated out of porcelain. Porcelain gives off a beautiful pearly white sheen that resembles the look of other natural teeth.
• Due to the restorations being artificial, they can withstand cavities and infections. Although they are artificial, they still need to be cleaned properly through proper oral health practices.
