Our smile-focused Hartland, WI, dental team recognizes the importance of a healthy smile and what it can offer your self-esteem and general well-being. When a smile is incomplete, you may avoid social events, posing for pictures, or even smiling in the mirror! Dental implants are a modern solution to help you restore function and esthetics when replacing missing teeth!

What Are Dental Implants And What Solutions Do We Offer?

This restoration involves prosthetic tooth roots, typically titanium, strategically placed into the jawbone to provide a stable and durable foundation for absent teeth.

Standard Dental Implants

• Standard implants are placed into the jawbone and require sufficient bone density to support the implant. They are designed to withstand significant chewing forces, making them suitable for replacing larger molars and restoring full functionality. Standard implants can last many years with proper care, offering a permanent solution for missing teeth while stimulating the jawbone, preventing bone loss, and maintaining facial structure​.

Mini Dental Implants

• These dental implants can be completed in a single appointment. They are about half the size of traditional dental implants and are often less involved than standard implants. Mini implants are an effective and swift way to stabilize dentures or replace just one absent tooth in an area too narrow to fit a standard implant. The restoration can anchor onto dentures or cemented crowns and bridges and preserve bone and facial makeup. Patients may experience a faster recovery period due to the less invasive nature of the procedure.

Procedure Process For Our Implants

Standard Dental Implants:

• Implant Placement: The standard implant is strategically placed into the jawbone after digital X-rays and molds are taken,
• Healing and Osseointegration: The implant must fuse with the bone during a healing period, which may last up to six months, to provide a stable foundation.
• Abutment Placement: Once healed, an abutment is placed on the implant to connect it to the final restoration.
• Crown Placement: A tailor-made crown is attached to the abutment, completing the procedure.

Mini Dental Implants:

• Implant Placement: Mini implants often do not require sutures or surgical flaps to support placement. Similar to standard implants, they anchor into the jawbone.
• Immediate Functionality: In many cases, these implants can support temporary restorations or dentures right away and stay in the mouth 24/7, allowing for immediate function.
