Dental implants are a strong, modern option for replacing missing teeth with a result that feels stable and looks natural. At Marysville Family Dentistry, implants are used to restore smiles while supporting long-term oral function. Because implants are anchored in the jawbone, they can provide the secure feel of a natural tooth root—without relying on neighboring teeth for support.
An implant restoration typically includes a small titanium post placed in the jaw, a connector piece, and a custom crown (or a bridge/denture attachment) that completes the visible tooth. After placement, the implant heals and bonds with the bone, creating a solid foundation for chewing and speaking. Implants can replace a single tooth, support multiple missing teeth, or help stabilize dentures for patients who want less movement and improved bite strength.
Replacing missing teeth is important for more than appearance. When a tooth is lost, the bone in that area can gradually shrink. Implants help stimulate the jawbone, which may reduce bone loss and help maintain facial support. They also help prevent nearby teeth from drifting into the space, which can lead to bite changes and uneven wear.
Your implant process begins with a comprehensive exam and digital imaging to evaluate bone quality and plan precise placement. If preparatory treatment is needed—such as an extraction or bone graft—your dentist will explain the steps and timeline. Once healing is complete, your final restoration is designed to match your bite and blend with surrounding teeth.
With good daily hygiene and routine dental visits, implants can last for many years. Marysville Family Dentistry will guide you through each stage and help you decide if implants are the right fit for your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
Implant-supported dentures combine the convenience of a denture with the added security of dental implants. At Marysville Family Dentistry, this option is ideal for patients who want a steadier fit than traditional dentures can provide. Instead of relying only on suction and gum support, the denture is anchored to implants placed in the jawbone, which helps reduce slipping, sore spots, and the need for adhesive. Many patients find they can bite and chew more comfortably and feel more confident when speaking.
Implant dentures are a fixed restoration that stays in place. Because implants stimulate the jawbone, they can also help slow the bone shrinkage that often follows tooth loss, supporting facial structure over time.
Treatment begins with an exam and imaging to confirm bone support and plan placement. After healing, the denture is fitted and adjusted for comfort and a balanced bite. With routine checkups and good hygiene, implant-supported dentures can deliver dependable, long-term stability.
