Missing teeth can affect both your confidence and oral health. At Hellgate Family Dental, Dr. Brandon Sturgell offers dental implants—a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for replacing one tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch. Contact us to schedule a consultation and explore your options for restoring your smile.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a stable foundation for a custom restoration like a crown, bridge, or denture.
How Dental Implants Work
- Implant Placement – A titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone.
- Healing & Integration – The jawbone bonds with the implant over a few months.
- Restoration Placement – A replacement tooth or prosthetic is securely attached to the implant.
All-on-4 and All-on-X Implants
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, All-on-4 and All-on-X dental implants provide a modern, efficient alternative to traditional dentures. These full-arch solutions use four or more strategically placed implants to support an entire set of upper or lower teeth. This approach offers exceptional stability, improved chewing function, and a natural appearance, often with fewer implants and less bone grafting required.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Looks & Feels Natural – Seamlessly blends with your natural teeth.
- Restores Function – Eat, speak, and smile comfortably.
- Prevents Bone Loss – Maintains the strength and shape of your jaw.
- Long-Lasting Solution – Designed to last with proper care.
