Dental Implants

Losing a tooth or teeth doesn’t limit you to dentures or bridges. Dental implants could be a viable option for you!

Dental implants represent a highly effective and popular method for replacing missing teeth. Composed of titanium and other biocompatible materials, these implant posts are surgically positioned in the jaw, serving as a robust anchor for replacement teeth. Designed to seamlessly integrate with your natural smile, dental implants are a durable and long-lasting solution.

The process of receiving a dental implant at BLVD Dentistry & Orthodontics typically involves three phases:

  • Step One: Surgical Placement : The dentist surgically places the implant(s) into the jawbone.
  • Step Two: Osseointegration : Osseointegration, the process by which the implant fuses with the bone, occurs. This crucial step makes the implant exceptionally strong. Patients often need to wait several months for the implant to fully integrate before moving on to the next phase.
  • Step Three: Placement of the Artificial Tooth/Teeth : The artificial tooth or teeth are then placed. For a single tooth implant, a dental crown is attached—a new tooth that is customized to match the size, shape, color, and fit of your original tooth, ensuring a seamless blend. If multiple teeth need replacement, custom-made dentures or bridges are created to fit your mouth and integrate with the implants.

Dental implants ensure that missing teeth don’t hinder you from sharing your brilliant smile!
