Dental Implants

If you’re missing a tooth (or several), dental implants are one of the best ways to restore your smile for the long haul. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth, and they help protect your overall oral health by preserving bone and supporting surrounding teeth. At O’Shea Family Dental, we provide dental implant solutions that are custom-planned, precise, and built to last.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that’s placed into the jawbone where a tooth is missing or has been extracted. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone and acts as a strong foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Think of it as a new root for your replacement tooth. They’re strong, stable, and fully integrated with your natural anatomy.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

  • Look and feel like natural teeth
  • Support a strong, stable bite
  • Preserve jawbone and facial structure
  • No shifting or slipping like dentures
  • Long-lasting, often for life with proper care
  • Easy to care for with brushing and flossing

Your Implant Journey: What to Expect

  • Consultation & Planning: We start with a full exam, digital X-rays, and a CBCT scan if needed. This helps us evaluate your bone health, discuss your goals, and create a custom treatment plan.
  • Implant Placement: The titanium post is placed into the jawbone. The procedure is done using local anesthesia, and it is done with precision and comfort in mind.
  • Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implant bonds with your bone in a process called osseointegration. During this time, a temporary restoration may be placed.
  • Final Restoration: Once healing is complete, we attach a custom crown, bridge, or denture to the implant to match your smile and fit comfortably.

Are You a Candidate for Implants?

Most healthy adults with missing teeth and adequate jawbone density are candidates for implants. If bone loss is present, additional procedures like bone grafting may be recommended to ensure long-term success.

We’ll walk you through your options and help you determine the best path for your smile.
