Missing teeth can affect not only your smile but also your overall oral health and confidence. At Parkway Smiles Dentistry, we offer advanced dental implant solutions to replace missing teeth and help you regain a beautiful, functional smile. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing personalized care and long-lasting results that look and feel natural.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant fuses with the bone, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached, restoring the appearance and functionality of your teeth. Implants are the most durable and natural-feeling solution for missing teeth, offering a permanent and secure alternative to traditional dentures or bridges.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Natural Appearance: Implants closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.
• Improved Oral Function: With implants, you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
• Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
• Preserve Bone Health: Dental implants prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone.
• No Impact on Surrounding Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require altering adjacent teeth.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. During your consultation at Parkway Smiles Dentistry, we will conduct a thorough evaluation, including X-rays and a 3D CBCT scan, to assess your bone health and determine the best treatment plan for you.

Candidates for dental implants should have:

• Healthy gums and sufficient bone to support the implant
• A commitment to good oral hygiene
• No untreated gum disease or serious health conditions that could affect healing

Our Dental Implant Process

• Consultation and Treatment Planning
  We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your goals, review your oral health, and determine the best implant solution for you.
• Implant Placement
  In a minimally invasive surgical procedure, the dental implant is placed into the jawbone. Over the next few months, the implant will fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
• Abutment Placement
  Once the implant has healed and integrated with the bone, we attach a small connector piece called an abutment to the implant.
• Restoration Placement
  Finally, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment, completing your dental implant treatment with a natural-looking restoration.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer

At Parkway Smiles Dentistry, we offer a variety of dental implant solutions to suit your specific needs:

• Single Tooth Implants
  Ideal for replacing one missing tooth, single implants provide a strong and permanent solution without affecting neighboring teeth.
• Implant-Supported Bridges
  For patients missing multiple teeth, implant-supported bridges offer a more secure and durable option than traditional bridges.
• All-on-4® Dental Implants
  This innovative solution provides a full-arch restoration with just four implants, offering a quicker and more affordable way to replace a full set of teeth.
• Implant-Supported Dentures
  Unlike traditional removable dentures, implant-supported dentures are securely anchored to dental implants, offering greater stability and comfort.
