Missing teeth can impact more than just your smile—they can affect how you speak, eat, and feel about yourself. At Lund Family Dentistry, we offer high-quality dental implants to restore your smile's appearance, function, and confidence. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, our team provides expert care every step of the way.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are long-lasting, natural-looking tooth replacements. Made of a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, the implant acts as an artificial tooth root. Once it fuses with the bone, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached, restoring full function and aesthetics.
Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and are designed to last for decades with proper care.
Why Dental Implants Are Important
Dental implants offer numerous benefits beyond simply filling the gap:
- Restore natural function for chewing, speaking, and smiling confidently
- Preserve jawbone health by preventing bone loss that occurs after tooth loss
- Protect adjacent teeth by eliminating the need for grinding or altering them
- Provide unmatched stability—no slipping like removable dentures
- Enhance facial structure by maintaining the natural shape of your jaw and face
If you're tired of missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures, dental implants may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
Who Is a Candidate for Implants?
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, procedures like bone grafting can often make implants a viable option.
Our team will perform a thorough evaluation, including digital imaging and health screening, to determine the best course of treatment for your unique needs.
