Replace Missing Teeth With Dental Implants
In the past, patients with missing teeth had limited options. Partial dentures were sometimes used, but they can be bulky, less natural-looking, and may place stress on remaining teeth. Bridges offered a better alternative, but they still require removing healthy tooth structure. Today, there’s a far superior solution: dental implants.
Dental implants are permanent, fixed prosthetic teeth anchored directly into your jawbone, acting as replacement roots. They are long-lasting, non-removable, and provide excellent cosmetic results. Because they most closely replicate natural teeth in function and appearance, dental implants are often the ideal choice for replacing missing teeth.
How Dental Implants Work
If dental implants are the right solution for you, we will first scan your jaws using our cone beam CT scanner. This allows us to visualize your bone in three dimensions, ensuring your implant is placed with the utmost precision. After placement, we allow time for the implant to integrate (become strong in your bone). Once fully integrated, digital impressions are taken and sent to our lab to create a custom, esthetic, all-porcelain crown that fits seamlessly with your implant and surrounding teeth.
Your new implant will be easy to care for, appear completely natural, and can potentially last a lifetime. For answers to any questions about dental implants, speak with a friendly team member at Omni Dental today.

Why You Should Replace Missing Teeth
Your teeth function together as a single unit. When a tooth is lost, neighboring teeth begin to shift immediately, which can compromise the health and alignment of your entire mouth. That’s why replacing missing teeth is so important—to maintain the overall integrity of your smile and oral health.
