Dental Implants in Independence & Blue Springs, MO
Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth that helps restore both function and appearance. Each implant is made up of a titanium post that fuses with the jawbone, an abutment, and a custom crown designed to look and function like a natural tooth. Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch, providing long-term stability and comfort.

What are the advantages of dental implants compared to other tooth-replacement options?
Dental implants offer many advantages over other tooth replacement options. They are designed to be a long-term solution, often lasting many years with proper care. Implants function like natural teeth, improve chewing comfort, preserve jawbone structure, and enhance appearance. They are securely anchored, do not affect nearby teeth, and require no adhesives or removal, making them convenient and easy to maintain.

How long does a dental implant procedure take?
The length of a dental implant procedure varies based on your treatment plan. Implant placement itself typically takes one to two hours per implant. After placement, the implant needs several months to heal and integrate with the jawbone before the final restoration is attached. Your dentist will provide a personalized timeline based on your needs. -
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term tooth replacement solution and can last many years or even a lifetime with proper care. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding habits like smoking or teeth grinding all help extend their lifespan. While the crown may need replacement over time, the implant itself is very durable.
