Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone are candidates. If bone loss is present, additional procedures like grafting may be recommended. At Majestic Dental, we’ll evaluate your oral health and create a personalized plan for implant success.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. The crown or restoration attached to the implant may need replacement after 10–15 years, but the implant itself is designed to be a permanent solution.

Is the implant procedure painful?

No. We use local anesthesia and sedation options to ensure comfort during the procedure. Most patients report only mild soreness afterward, similar to having a tooth extracted, which usually subsides within a few days.

What are the benefits of dental implants compared to other options?

Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike bridges or dentures, they prevent bone loss in the jaw and don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support. At Majestic Dental, implants are one of the most effective ways to restore your smile long term.

Q: What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. At Majestic Dental, implants support crowns, bridges, or dentures, offering a strong, natural-looking, and permanent tooth replacement solution.

Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. At Majestic Dental, we are proud to offer state-of-the-art dental implant services to our patients. Our experienced team of dental professionals is dedicated to providing personalized and compassionate care to help you achieve a beautiful and healthy smile.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a replacement for the roots of missing teeth. Once the implants have bonded with the jawbone, artificial teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, can be attached to the implants to complete the restoration. Dental implants are an excellent choice for those looking for a long-lasting and natural-looking solution to missing teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

There are many benefits to choosing dental implants as a solution for missing teeth. Some of the benefits include:

Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel just like your natural teeth, making it nearly impossible for anyone to tell the difference.
Improved Functionality: Dental implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. You won’t have to worry about slipping dentures or bridges that can be uncomfortable and inconvenient.
Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run.
Preserved Jawbone: Unlike traditional bridges or dentures that rest on top of the gums, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, preserving the bone and preventing further deterioration.
Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges that require reduction of healthy teeth, dental implants do not require the reduction of healthy teeth, preserving your oral health and overall wellbeing.

The Dental Implant Procedure

We offer a comprehensive dental implant solution, from the initial consultation to the final restoration. The procedure typically involves several stages, including:

Initial Consultation: During the initial consultation, our dental professionals will assess your oral health and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. We will also discuss your goals and expectations, and develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs.
Implant Placement: During the implant placement procedure, the dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. The implant placement procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on your individual needs and comfort level.
Healing Period: After the implant placement, a healing period is necessary to allow the implants to bond with the jawbone. This typically takes several months, during which time you will wear a temporary restoration.
Implant Restoration: Once the implants have fully bonded with the jawbone, the final restoration can be attached to the implants. This can include a crown, bridge, or denture, depending on your individual needs.
Follow-Up Care: After the final restoration, regular follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor your oral health and ensure the success of your dental implants.

One big plus is the office can make new crowns the same day. No more installing temporary crowns and having to come back on another day to get the new ones put in. Had to use this service twice! Both times it went great and the new crowns were ready to be put in place within an hour or so.  Amazing!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today was my first time at this office.  My insurance changed and I had to switch.   Brandy was my hygienist.  Even though I did not like the news, she was very kind and helped me with options. She was very pleasant to be around.  Same with the dentist.  He gave me several options to choose from.  He was also very kind.  I'd have to say A+.  The office was beautiful and modern.  The ladies at the front desk were also very kind.  I have to say, I'm so glad my insurance changed because I didn't get options from the last dentist.
