We may be able to accomplish everything in one visit, or we may require a few visits. We offer All-On-4 implants as a one-stop implant experience; talk with your practitioner about whether the All-On-4 system is right for your needs.

Because we are known for our excellence in implant dentistry, we have many patients who come from across the state or even out of state to receive care here at Relax Dental.

Frequently asked questions

Implant Dentistry Q&A

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. This innovative solution provides a stable base for new teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, helping to restore both function and appearance. The process begins with the surgical placement of the implant, which eventually bonds with the surrounding bone.

Beyond aesthetics, dental implants enhance functionality, allowing individuals to chew and speak more comfortably. Additionally, they help prevent bone loss in the jaw that often occurs when teeth are missing. Overall, dental implants offer a long-term solution, enabling individuals to regain confidence in their smiles and enjoy a better quality of life.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

At Luna Family Dental, we start with a detailed consultation where we review your medical and dental history and perform a comprehensive oral examination.

Healthy gums and enough bone in your jaw: Dental implants need strong, healthy gums and plenty of bone in your jaw to stay in place. If your gums are infected or you’ve lost too much bone where the implant goes, it might not work right away. But there are ways to fix this.
Luna Family Dental’s step-by-step exam: When you come in, we’ll review your health history and check your teeth and gums. We’ll take detailed X-rays or 3D images of your mouth to see how much bone you have and if it’s ready for an implant.
Fixing bone problems if needed: If you don’t have enough bone for the implant to hold onto, we can perform a procedure called a bone graft. This adds more bone to your jaw so it’s strong enough for the implant.
Health conditions and lifestyle: Some health problems, like diabetes or bad habits like smoking, can make healing harder. We’ll help you understand what changes might be needed to make the implant successful.

Let the experts at Luna Family Dental assess your unique needs and schedule a consultation today to find out if dental implants are right for you!

Are dental implants better than dentures?

Dental implants offer significant advantages over traditional dentures, providing a more stable and natural solution for tooth replacement. They are anchored securely into the jawbone, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably without the fear of shifting. Key benefits include:

Superior stability and comfort compared to dentures.
Natural appearance and feel, enhancing self-confidence.
A permanent solution that can last a lifetime with proper care.
Simplified oral hygiene routine. Brush and floss like natural teeth.

Additionally, dental implants help preserve jawbone density, preventing the bone loss that often follows tooth loss. If you’re considering your options, contact Luna Family Dental today to explore how dental implants can enhance your quality of life!
