Our skilled dentists and team provide dental implants to replace your missing teeth and restore your smile, oral health and quality of life. Implants are an ideal solution for replacing teeth, as they replace your entire tooth and mimic the function of your original teeth. We invite you to call Heritage Dental Associates at 801-525-1415 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Andrew Nield or Dr. Alan Wilding and find out if you are a candidate for dental implants in Syracuse, Utah.

Dental implants are a great solution for restoring a damaged smile. A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth that is secured in place with a surgically placed titanium implant post. The result is a natural-looking and fully functional replacement for a missing tooth.

When you visit Heritage Dental Associates for your dental implants, the procedure will be given in two main parts: the dental implant post and the implant restoration. The implant post will be placed first. It is replacement for the tooth root and is usually a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone. The implant restoration is the visible part of the implant, which can come in the form of a crown, bridge or denture.

Patients looking to get a dental implant can expect the following steps in their treatment process:

• Consultation: The first step is a consultation with our dentists to determine if dental implants are the right treatment for you.
• Treatment Planning: If you are approved for a dental implant, we will create a treatment plan, using our advanced dental technology, to plan the implant placement and restorations for your smile.
• Implant Placement: The first part of the implant, the implant post, is surgically placed into the jawbone. A temporary restoration will be placed on the implant post during the healing period.
• Healing Period: The implant post will need time to fuse with the bone (a process called osseointegration), which typically takes several months.
• Restoration Placement: Once the implant has fully fused with the bone, the restoration (crown, bridge or denture) is attached to the implant post, giving you a full smile.

Dental implants can be a good option for patients who are looking for a stable and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. Not only do dental implants help prevent bone loss and other dental issues associated with missing teeth, but they can improve your smile’s appearance and allow you to eat, speak and smile more easily. Since dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care, you can share your improved smile for years to come.
