What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium anchors that replace the root of a missing tooth. Once placed into the jawbone, the implant serves as a solid foundation for a custom dental crown, bridge, or denture — restoring appearance and function with exceptional stability.

Implants feel and look just like natural teeth and are a permanent solution for tooth loss, allowing patients to speak, chew, and smile with confidence.

All services are performed by a general dentist at Panatella Dental.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?

Not everyone is an immediate candidate for dental implants. Ideal candidates must have:

  • • Sufficient bone to support the implant
  • • Healthy, disease-free gums
  • • Stable overall oral health

If you have bone loss or require a tooth extraction, our team may recommend preparatory procedures like bone grafting before moving forward.

📍 Our dentists will perform a full evaluation to determine if dental implants are the best solution for your case. Contact our team now! 

Your Personalized Implant Evaluation

We begin with a comprehensive exam, including:

  • • X-rays and CT scans for precise imaging of your bone and surrounding teeth
  • • Plaster models of your bite and jaw for alignment planning
  • • A custom treatment plan based on your anatomy and long-term goals

Once approved, we’ll schedule your implant surgery and guide you through every step of the process.

→ Most patients find implant surgery easier than a tooth extraction, with minimal discomfort and short recovery.

Bone Loss & Implant Suitability

When teeth are missing, the jawbone no longer receives the stimulation it needs — leading to bone resorption over time. This can affect facial structure and make implant placement more difficult.

If bone loss is present, we may recommend:

  • Bone grafting: adding natural or biocompatible material to build bone volume
  • Sinus lift: gently raising the sinus floor and adding bone to support implants in the upper jaw

Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that actively stimulate bone, helping to preserve jaw structure and prevent future loss.

The Dental Implant Procedure: What to Expect

First Stage: Implant Placement

During this appointment:

  • The implant is placed into the jaw under local anesthesia
  • A healing abutment may be added to guide gum healing
  • In some cases, a second appointment is required to expose the implant after full integration

As healing progresses, the implant fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration), forming a stable base for the final restoration.

Second Stage: Restorative Phase

About three months after placement, the implant is ready for the final restoration:

  • Impressions are taken to craft a custom crown, bridge, or denture
  • The prosthetic is attached to the implant, either screw-retained or cemented
  • Appointments are typically short and require no anesthesia

The result is a natural-looking, functional tooth that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

  • Permanent, stable solution for tooth loss
  • Prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure
  • Restores full chewing and speaking ability
  • Preserves adjacent teeth (unlike traditional bridges)
  • Made of biocompatible titanium for safety and long-term health
  • Can improve both function and appearance — part of restorative and cosmetic dentistry

Long-Term Care and Follow-Up

Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth:

  • Regular brushing and flossing
  • Routine dental check-ups
  • Monitoring of bite forces to ensure implant stability

With proper care, dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime.
