Dental Implants in Grand Blanc
Beautiful, Permanent & Seamless Solutions for Missing Teeth
Many of our patients who have missing teeth often think that bridges or dentures are their only options for a complete and beautiful smile. However, dentures can sometimes be uncomfortable and are often difficult to get used to.
Additionally, while bridges are not easily removable and can make a remarkable difference, they are dependent on the health of the supporting teeth and could require replacement or repair. There are more permanent options available to you in the form of dental implants.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Just a few of the benefits of dental implants include:
- A natural look and feel to replace the missing tooth
- Protection from erosion of the jaw bone beneath the missing tooth
- When cared for properly, can last a lifetime
- Helping to maintain your natural face shape
- Permanence and durability
- They will not decay
Our patients love that dental implants look and feel just like their natural teeth. Your speech and appearance will remain the same as before you lost the tooth, implants do not have to be removed to be cared for, and you can eat any food you normally would.
How Dental Implants Work
Endosteal dental implants are currently among the most effective and safe options for our patients. This involves placing an implant (simply a man-made root) into the jaw bone then, after the gums have healed, an abutment is fabricated to seat within the implant and a crown is then cemented to the implant.
It is critically important to ensure that your hygiene is thorough to keep the area around the implant healthy and clean, but with the correct level of care, you can be certain that your implants are there to stay.
Who is An Ideal Dental Implant Candidate?
An ideal candidate for dental implants possesses several qualities that contribute to the success of the procedure and long-term oral health. Firstly, good overall health is crucial, as conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disorders can affect healing. Sufficient bone density in the jaw is also essential to support the implant securely. Additionally, candidates should have healthy gums and be committed to maintaining proper oral hygiene post-implant. A non-smoking status is favorable, as smoking can hinder the healing process. Lastly, the ideal candidate demonstrates realistic expectations and a commitment to follow the treatment plan outlined by their dental professional. By embodying these qualities, individuals can maximize their chances of a successful and lasting dental implant outcome.
