At Thomson Family Dental, we understand the impact of missing teeth on your confidence and oral health. Our dental implant services offer a long-lasting solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Whether you're missing a single tooth or several, our skilled team is here to help you regain a complete, healthy smile.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike dentures, implants are permanent and provide a more natural look and feel.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer numerous benefits over other tooth replacement options:
- Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
- Improved Oral Health: Implants help maintain the structure of your jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure.
- Comfort and Functionality: Unlike dentures, implants are fixed in place, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
The Dental Implant Process
The dental implant process typically involves several steps over a few months:
Initial Consultation and Planning
We begin with a thorough examination, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to determine the best placement for your implants.
Implant Placement
During a minor surgical procedure, the titanium post is placed into your jawbone. Over the next few months, the bone will fuse with the implant, creating a solid foundation.
Abutment Placement and Restoration
Once the implant has fully integrated, an abutment is attached to the post, followed by the placement of a custom-made crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. We use local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience, and any post-operative pain can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are key to maintaining your implants.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are good candidates for dental implants. We’ll assess your specific situation during your consultation.
