The Benefits of Dental Implants
Aesthetic Benefits
One of the main advantages of dental implants is their natural appearance. When we create your implant restoration, we customize it to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. This way, your new teeth blend seamlessly with your smile, providing a flawless look.
Dental implants also help restore your facial structure. Missing teeth can cause the face to look sunken, but we can help preserve your natural facial contours with dental implants. Implants restore volume, giving you a youthful and vibrant appearance.
Most importantly, dental implants restore your smile. Gaps left by missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious. With our dental implant options, we can close these gaps, giving you a durable, beautiful smile that allows you to feel confident again.
Long-Term Durability
Unlike dentures, which need replacement over time, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care and routine maintenance, making them a cost-effective solution compared to other options. This is an investment into your health and future.
Functional Benefits
Dental implants provide a significant functional benefit by restoring your ability to chew and bite with up to 90% chewing efficiency.
Another key advantage of dental implants is their ability to support your jawbone health. Anchors that go directly into the jawbone help prevent bone loss that can occur when teeth are missing. Permanent anchors maintain your jawbone’s structure and prevent facial changes over time. These implants help to stabilize bone structure over time.
Preventing Teeth Shifting
When you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth can shift into the empty space, causing alignment issues. By placing a dental implant, we prevent this, filling the gap with a stable, permanent solution.
Dental implants also improve speech. Missing teeth can cause speech issues, but dental implants allow you to speak clearly and confidently without worrying about dentures slipping or gaps affecting your articulation.
Finally, dental implants provide security and comfort. Since they have secure anchors in the jawbone, you don’t have to worry about them shifting. Unlike dentures, which can move around, implants stay firmly in place, offering a comfortable and stable foundation for your new teeth.
The Dental Implant Process at Van Galder Advanced Dentistry
At Van Galder Advanced Dentistry, we are committed to providing you with the best care and highest-quality dental implants. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment:
Consultation
Your journey starts with a consultation with Dr. Daniel Van Galder who holds a mastership with the Academy of General Dentistry, a fellowship with the International Congress of Oral Implantologist, an Associate Fellowship with the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and an active credentialed member of the International Association of Orthodontics. During this visit, we will assess your oral health and discuss your treatment goals. Our dentist will help you decide which implant option—whether single implants, implant bridges, overdentures, or fixed zirconia bridges—best fits your needs. If you need financing, we offer flexible options to make your treatment more affordable. Contact our office to learn more.
Advanced Technology & Planning
At Van Galder Advanced Dentistry, we use cutting-edge technology to ensure precision in every step of your dental implant treatment. Our Trios Intraoral Scanner and newest photogrammetry scanner captures accurate digital impressions, while our CBCT scanner and digital X-rays provide detailed 3D images of your jawbone for precise implant planning.
With CAD/CAM technology, we quickly design and mill custom restorations using our Zirkonzahn Milling Machine and 3D Printer. We use the Biolase Waterlase and Diode Lasers to enhance healing for soft tissue management. Our 3D Microscope ensures the highest accuracy in implant placement, helping us deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results. This advanced technology allows us to prepare final zirconia restorations in as little as 24 hours!
Implant Placement & Restoration
Once we’ve finalized your treatment plan, Dr. Van Galder will place a small titanium post into your jawbone, which is the root of your new tooth. After placement, the implant will fuse with the bone during healing, creating a strong foundation for restoration. Once fully integrated, we will attach a custom-made crown or other prosthetic to complete the restoration. The result is a natural-looking tooth that functions and feels like your own.
During your procedure, we ensure your comfort with amenities like cozy blankets, soft pillows, massage chairs, free Wi-Fi, TVs, and streaming services so you can relax and enjoy a stress-free experience. Our premium comfort services include sedation and exparel.
Post-Treatment Care
Following your implant restoration, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. We’ll also schedule regular check-ups to monitor the health of your implant and ensure it stays in optimal condition.
