Revive Your Smile With Teeth Implants
The technology behind teeth implants has grown by leaps and bounds over recent decades. Today, implants are usually made from medical-grade titanium because it was discovered that this metal actually fuses with your jawbone and becomes one with it. The fusion process means that implants make an excellent base for securing all kinds of replacement teeth, from single crowns to full arches of fixed teeth.
Our dentists are highly experienced in implant dentistry. For example, Dr. Mercer is a member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and Dr. Saunders is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. In addition, we’ll use a 3-D CT scanner to help design your implant treatment plan, so you can feel confident in our implant expertise. If you’re nervous about your procedure, oral sedation or complimentary nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can put you at ease.
Below are some of the implant options that may be available to you for replacing your missing teeth:
Single Implant With a Crown – Your dentist here will insert a single implant into your jaw where your tooth is missing. After the implant has fully fused with the bone, we’ll anchor a beautiful new crown to the top of it to give you back your biting and chewing ability.- Implant-Supported Bridge – Rather than anchoring to your natural teeth like a traditional bridge, this restoration will use two or more implants for a base. You’ll get your teeth back and, as with all implant restorations, protect the health of your jawbone.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – You’ve never had conventional dentures that fit this well! Your teeth will be secured using a system of snaps and balls, so you’ll be confident they will stay firmly in place without slipping.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – These are our best-performing dentures, as they anchor to a secure metal bar that is attached to your implants. They offer superior comfort and stability and are designed to only be removed by your dentist.
- All-on-4® Dental Implants – This innovative technique allows us to secure a full arch of replacement teeth using just four precisely placed dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, you’ll never have to remove these teeth for cleaning or care.

Dental Implant Post-Op Care
While every patient is different and there is no way of predicting if you will experience any discomfort, swelling, or bruising after getting dental implants, following our dentist’s instructions for post operative care will help keep you comfortable.
In the 24 hours after your implant procedure, you should avoid:
- Vigorous physical exercise (although you may return to work)
- Drinking through a straw or other sucking motions
- Smoking for about 48 hours
- Drinking alcohol as it will slow the healing process
- Food that is extreme in temperature or spicy foods
- Using strong mouthwashes that contain alcohol
Things you should do after your dental implant appointment:
- You may take a non-aspirin analgesic to relieve any tenderness or discomfort, such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol).
- Eat a well-balanced soft diet for the first day. You may chew on the opposite side of the treated area until it is comfortable to chew normally.
- Rinse with a warm saltwater rinse, a 1 teaspoon in an 8 oz. glass of water, 3 times a day.
- Brush your teeth very lightly in the treated area the first night. Then begin flossing lightly as well the next day, gradually increasing to normal force by the week’s end. After flossing and brushing, rinse with chlorhexidine gluconate (Peridex), if it was prescribed, for at least 60 seconds. Do this at least twice daily.
