Dental implants are an advanced tooth replacement procedure that mimics the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. By replacing the entire structure of missing teeth, from the roots upward, you’ll be able to improve the long-term health and appearance of your oral and facial structures. By completing the entire process for dental implants in our Winslow, AZ dental office, you’ll be dealing with the same dental professionals from the consultation, all the way through the placement of your final restoration.

ABILITY
A dental implant is a small, titanium post that fuses with your jawbone to restore the root of the missing tooth. Because it’s made from a biocompatible metal, the implant is able to chemically bond with your jawbone, providing it with stimulation and blood flow. An abutment, which is a small, metal connector piece, is then placed on top of the implant. Once your final crown, bridge, or denture arrives at our dental office, we’ll call you back in to secure the restoration and complete your smile.
One of the reasons why dental implants are so popular among patients and professionals alike is because they offer several unique benefits that distinguish them from traditional restorations. Here are a few advantages that set this procedure apart from the rest:
Eliminate slipping and shifting.
No need to alter healthy existing teeth.
A stronger bite due to fusion with the jawbone.
A natural look and
Extended lifespan of 35+ years with daily maintenance.
The best way to learn whether you’re a good candidate for dental implants in Winslow is to schedule a consultation. Based on our findings, we’ll be able to develop a customized treatment timeline to fit your needs.
To replace a single missing tooth, we’ll likely suggest placing one implant post below the gums. After it fuses with your jawbone, we secure an abutment to the post and attach a custom-crafted dental crown. This will prevent surrounding teeth from drifting out of place to fill the gap.
For several consecutive missing teeth, we can use two implants placed at either end of the gap in your smile to support a dental bridge. Instead of needing to alter two teeth to support the crowns on a traditional bridge, this restoration will be secured to the implants.
We can also utilize anywhere from four to eight dental implants to secure a full denture that can restore an entire arch of teeth. Because your restoration will be secured to your implants instead of relying on natural suction and denture adhesive, you won’t have to worry about them slipping or shifting.
If you want dental implants but don’t want to endure months of healing without having temporary replacement teeth until your permanent restorations arrive, Teeth-in-a-Day is a great solution. After your implant surgery is complete, we’ll secure a temporary restoration so you can have a complete smile throughout the entire process.
Each dental implant procedure is customized for every patient’s situation. When you schedule your initial consultation, we’ll examine your mouth and assess several cost-determining factors. A good rule-of-thumb is that the more teeth you need to have replaced, the more costly the treatment. However, patients that have gotten implants will agree that investing in this advanced restorative process is well worth it.
