Dental implants have really revolutionized dentistry. I was missing a tooth myself and I didn’t want a bridge, which would have involved cutting down the adjacent teeth that never even had a filling. I just didn’t get anything for a while. Eventually, I got an implant and was able to have full function back again.
The great benefit for single teeth but they also allow us a whole realm of things for people missing more than one teeth. If you have dentures and you want to not have something that’s removable, implants now fill that role. If you want bridges and you don’t have enough teeth for bridges, implants can fill that role. And there’s a big price range depending on your budget. They’re quite versatile in their application.
But when someone loses a tooth, it causes a cascade of events that can affect the way that person chews, the way they bite, the teeth start to shift, we call it bite collapse, and they don’t mesh as well anymore. So having a full set of teeth is critical for long-term health.
The implant procedure allows us to restore that tooth without damaging adjacent teeth. You can still floss, you can treat it as a normal tooth, and allows you to go back to full function. You can eat on both sides. And it’s the best solution dentistry has right now for a missing tooth.

Secure Your Beautiful New Teeth to Implants
Losing even a single tooth can lead to numerous problems in your mouth, including bone loss in your jaw. That’s why dental implants are so popular. These titanium artificial tooth roots act like your own tooth roots, restoring your natural oral function and jawbone strength. If you are interested in implants, you can trust Dr. Chris Mueller. He has over 22 years of experience restoring smiles and placing implants. With advanced technology such as 3-D scanning equipment and computer-guided placement technology, you can expect your procedure to go smoothly.
During your consultation, Dr. Mueller will examine your mouth to determine if you have the jaw strength to support implants.

Dental implants are small titanium posts that we place in your jaw to act as artificial teeth roots. They are an ideal way to replace missing teeth because the implant fuses with your jawbone to form a base for new teeth. Implants also help keep your jawbone healthy by stimulating the growth of new bone.
Most of our dental implant patients report little discomfort when they receive their dental implants. We’ll make sure your mouth is completely numb in the area where we’re working, and afterward, most discomfort can be eliminated with over-the-counter pain relievers. All in all, you should have a relatively pain-free dental implant experience.
Your exact cost for getting dental implants will depend on several factors, including the number of implants needed, their location, and the type of replacement teeth you get. We’ll be happy to work up a treatment plan and provide you with an accurate cost for your implant treatment, so you can decide what’s best for your wants and needs.
