Dental Implants

serving Salt Lake City, Midvale, West Jordan and surrounding areas in Utah

Losing or missing a tooth can be a huge burden. Not only can it change the way you eat, but it can also make a big difference in how you smile. If you have a missing tooth, it can create embarrassment or make you very self-conscious.

At Warr Dental in Salt Lake City, Utah, one option to repair your missing tooth or teeth is the use of dental implants. Dental implants are replacement teeth that are attached to pieces of metal, which are placed within the jawbone to restore both the look and function of your entire tooth, including the tooth root.

If you are missing a tooth, it can also cause other problems, such as allowing surrounding teeth to drift, limiting the foods you eat, and continued loss of bone mass where your tooth used to be. Through implant dentistry, you are able to eat foods, smile, brush, and floss with confidence, just like with your natural teeth.

Dental Implants - What to Expect

During the dental implant procedure, performed by several highly-trained specialists, you can choose to be sedated, so that you are not aware of any discomfort. A metal anchor will be placed within your jawbone, and then the incision will be closed. After the jaw and gums have had enough time to heal and settle, a custom-made implant is then placed onto the anchor.

Implant dentistry does take time to complete because the dental implant anchor must fuse to the bone prior to being outfitted with the replacement tooth. This may take as little as a few weeks or as long as a few months.

Unlike dentures, dental implants are natural-looking alternatives that offer a more permanent solution. Dental implants are widely used and are over 95% successful! Best of all, dental implants look and function like natural teeth. People will not even know that you have a replacement tooth, even with your ear-to-ear grin.
