"Each Pregnancy Made My Teeth Gradually Worse Until I Couldn’t Take It Anymore"
Schedule NowWhat Are Dental Implants?
Your smile plays a crucial role in making a lasting impression, and missing or damaged teeth can affect your appearance, self-confidence, and overall well-being. Gaps in your smile increase the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, bite misalignment, and jawbone loss, which can alter your facial structure.
Dental implants offer a durable and natural-looking solution that restores function, protects jawbone health, and enhances your smile. With a titanium post, abutment, and custom restoration, dental implants are placed into the jawbone using advanced techniques for precise results. With our affordable implants in Thayer, MO, and Walnut Ridge, AR, you can enjoy a confident, functional, and long-lasting smile!
The Advantages of Dental Implants
- Restores natural function and aesthetics
- Enables natural speech
- Supports adjacent teeth
- Restores the ability to eat the foods you love
- Prevents bone loss and facial changes
- Requires the same care as natural teeth
Our Various Dental Implant Options
Single Dental implants
A single dental implant involves surgically placing a titanium post in your jaw, attaching an abutment during the same surgery or later, and securing a crown to the abutment after healing. We work with a nearby dental lab that uses superior materials that blend in with your remaining teeth for restored function and natural-looking beauty.
Dental Bridges
An implant-supported bridge is appropriate for two or more adjacent missing teeth in a row. Replacing missing teeth with a bridge that closely matches the shade and overall appearance of your natural teeth restores smile function and confidence.
Unlike a traditional bridge, an implant-supported bridge doesn’t require modification and crowns on healthy adjacent teeth. Dental implants replace your missing tooth roots, which keep your underlying bone healthy, while a false tooth (pontic) without a root replacement can lead to ongoing bone loss.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are a preferred treatment option if you have many missing teeth or are completely edentulous (toothless). This type of denture is secured in place using two or more dental implants rather than denture adhesive and suction, which often isn’t sufficient for traditional dentures to stay secure.
This far more stable restoration never slips or falls out. It stimulates your underlying jawbone and helps prevent a sunken-in facial appearance. Depending on your unique clinical needs and desires, these dentures can be full or partial and fixed or removable.
All-on-X Full Mouth Dental implants
All-on-X full mouth dental implants offer a revolutionary solution for patients with missing or failing teeth, providing a complete set of new teeth on a stable, secure foundation. Using just a few strategically placed implants, this advanced technique allows for restoring a full arch of teeth in a single procedure.
The All-on-X system is designed for optimal comfort and functionality, offering improved chewing ability, speech, and overall quality of life. With its ability to restore both appearance and oral health, All-on-X implants are a long-lasting and reliable choice for individuals seeking a permanent smile transformation.
Top 5 Mistakes People Make with Dental Implants
Do you have all the information you need to make the right decisions about dental implants? Don’t make any of these five common mistakes. Our exclusive checklist will steer you in the right direction.
What to Expect from the Implant Process
Consult & Planning
We will begin your treatment with a personalized consultation to discuss your dental and medical history, take digital X-rays, and create a customized prosthetic and surgical plan. We will perform a cone-beam computed tomography scan to further analyze your bone structure, nerve tissue, and sinus cavities and help plan precision implant placement. We will also discuss the cost of dental implants, so you’ll never encounter hidden fees when you entrust our team to complete your missing smile!
Procedure & Same-Day Teeth
At MoArk Dental & Implants, we offer personalized dental implant surgery that addresses your specific oral health needs and smile goals. Depending on your unique case, tooth extraction, and bone grafting may be possible during the same visit as dental implant placement. During your procedure, we will create small incisions within your gums in predetermined sites, and the implants will be placed.
Once placed, we will attach an abutment connector and affix your temporary prosthesis. This temporary set of teeth allows you to enjoy all the benefits of a complete smile while you heal! If you experience any swelling, applying a cold compress and rinsing with warm salt water can aid in the healing process. Many of our patients can resume most normal activities within 24 hours.
Follow-Up Appointments
We’ll provide postsurgical home-care instructions to help you get on the road to recovery and schedule periodic follow-up appointments. The first year following surgery is the most critical time for healing because osseointegration (fusion) can take 3-6 months, and your gums are most vulnerable to infection.
During follow-up visits, our team will assess your gums, implants, and surrounding teeth to determine if healing and fusion are progressing. We’ll also look for evidence of traumatic occlusion, signs of tissue inflammation, bleeding when probed, indications of infection (e.g., pus), and plaque/tartar growth.
Healing & Final Restorations
We will craft your final restoration from the highest-quality materials, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your face shape, skin tone, and the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth. Our team is dedicated to creating a natural-looking smile that complements your unique features.
Dental implants can maintain strength, beauty, and function for many years with proper at-home care and regular dental checkups. In fact, with diligent care, your implants have the potential to last a lifetime, offering you a durable and confident smile.
No matter how many teeth you’re missing, our high-quality and affordable dental implants offer unmatched versatility, durability, functionality, and aesthetics!
