DENTAL IMPLANTS IN UTAH

DENTAL IMPLANTS
PRESENTATION

To provide you with a better understanding of dental implants, we have provided the following multimedia presentation. Many common questions pertaining to dental implants are discussed.

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you’ll see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food). Both have a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum and is anchored into the jaw. The difference is that the implant is made of titanium – the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints. When you lose a tooth, you lose both the root and the crown. To replace the tooth, the surgeon first replaces the root with a small dental implant.

Time is allowed for bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. A support post (abutment) is then placed on the implant and a new replacement tooth (crown) is placed on top of the abutment. In many cases a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the implant immediately after it is placed. If all of your teeth are missing, a variety of treatment options are available to support the replacement teeth.

ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS AFFORDABLE?

Dental Implants are an investment in your health as well as your appearance. A full set of teeth makes eating a pleasure again, making it easier to eat a balanced, healthy diet. A full set of teeth also preserves the contours of the face, keeping you from looking old before your time.

Our office will provide you with a comprehensive treatment plan and estimate during your consultation appointment. We ask that you provide accurate insurance information prior to that visit in order to receive an accurate treatment estimate. It is also recommended that you check with your dental insurance carrier to see what portion, if any, of dental implants they cover.

We offer a number of convenient payment methods to meet your needs. If you require monthly payment options, we recommend PatientFi. They offer quick acceptance and low monthly patient options.

“DON’T BE AFRAID TO SMILE.”

For years I’d felt like a part of my body was missing — because my teeth were. My dentist told me that dental implants would make me feel and look a lot better. OK, I said. Now, I’m thrilled. I can smile, eat anything, and enjoy a good laugh with my friends.

SURGICAL ADVANCES IN DENTAL IMPLANTS

Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, Dr. Broadbent, Dr. Chandler, Dr. Hall and Dr. McCormick are able to place single stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them, but do require a minimum of six weeks of healing time before artificial teeth are placed. There are even situations where the implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction – further minimizing your number of surgical procedures.

Dental implant placement is a team effort between an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a restorative dentist. Drs. Broadbent, Chandler, Hall or McCormick performs the actual implant surgery, initial tooth extractions, and bone grafting if necessary. The restorative dentist (your dentist) fits and makes the permanent prosthesis. Your dentist will also make any temporary prosthesis needed during the implant process.
