Are you looking for a reliable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth? Dental implants are a fantastic solution for rebuilding your smile.

Matt and Kay Giulianelli for superior outcomes.

How does a dental implant replace missing teeth?

Dental implants provide a long-term solution for replacing a missing tooth. A dental implant consists of three main parts:

  • Implant post: It’s a small, screw-like fixture created from titanium or other biocompatible material. It’s surgically placed in the jawbone and fuses with the bone over time through osseointegration, providing a stable foundation.
  • Abutment: A connector that juts out of the gums to link the implant post to the final restoration.
  • Crown, bridge, or denture: It’s the visible part of the implant, customized to match your natural teeth for a seamless look and function.

Champlain Smile Solutions provides numerous dental implant options customized to your needs. Our single-tooth implants replace an individual missing tooth by pairing the titanium post with a crown. All-on-X dental implants provide full-arch restoration using just 4-6 implants. Full-mouth dental implants are more stable than traditional dentures. They also eliminate nightly soaks and messy adhesives.

How are dental implants placed?

We have refined the dental implant procedure to achieve the best possible outcomes while maximizing your comfort and time.

Here’s what the process involves.

  • Consultation: The dentist will check your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to assess your eligibility for dental implants. This examination will involve taking digital X-rays and 3D scans to develop a tailored treatment plan. Additionally, the dentist will inform you if any preliminary procedures, such as bone grafting or tooth extractions, are required before the surgery.
  • Implant surgery: We always prioritize your comfort during your implant procedure. We use powerful anesthetics to ensure a painless experience. Additionally, we offer multiple sedation options, including IV sedation, to provide next-level comfort. Once you are comfortable, the dentist will surgically place a titanium post at a pre-determined location in the jawbone.
  • Healing: The implants should be left to heal and fuse with the jawbone for 4-6 months. Following the dentist’s instructions during this period is important to ensure a successful procedure.
  • Abutment placement: The dentist will uncover the implant to attach a small metal connector. This minor surgery requires two weeks of healing.
  • Restoration: This is the most exciting step of the dental implant journey. The dentist will restore your implants with a customized, life-looking prosthesis. After restoration, you’ll regain instant function and aesthetic boost.
