What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a restorative dental option for replacing a tooth from root to crown. Our implants consist of three primary components that give lasting support to those looking to regain the integrity of their smile. The three components are:
- Post: An implanted post made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, which fuse into your jawbone for added stability.
- Abutment: A connector piece that attaches the restoration to the implant post.
- Restoration: A crafted dental prosthetic visible above the gum line that blends into your natural smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are versatile in their approach, offering customization and longevity as well as looking and feeling like your natural teeth. There are various health and aesthetic benefits to having a tooth replaced. Some of the benefits of receiving a dental implant are:
- Durability: You can expect an implant for your teeth to last for years with proper maintenance. The implant post integrates with the jawbone and becomes a permanent addition to your smile.
- Functionality: There can be noticeable improvement in the bite, chew, and speaking ability after completing your dental implant treatment.
- Preservation: Having gaps in your teeth compromises the jawbone, so an implant helps preserve that bone while preventing teeth from shifting.
- Appearance: A dental implant will blend naturally into the appearance of your smile and revitalize its aesthetics.
Our Dental Implant Process
If you want to pursue a dental implant procedure, we are happy to help you start the process. Dr. Halle evaluates you by examining your teeth, jawbone, and overall oral health to determine whether this procedure meets your needs. Once you've qualified for treatment, he discusses expected outcomes and design a plan mapping how treatment will progress.
Dr. Halle first addresses existing dental issues with necessary pretreatment, so we can move forward with your dental implant. He can extract damaged or decayed teeth to make room and protect your oral health. Additionally, our practice can perform a bone graft, if necessary, to strengthen any compromised jawbone and better support the post. Once any pretreatments are complete, we'll coordinate your care with a trusted specialist who comes into the office to place your posts. Afterwards, our team goes over aftercare instructions to promote healing while you rest.
Once the posts have healed and anchored, we take impressions of your smile, and a lab designs your custom prosthetic pieces before creating them. Our office receives the final piece, and Dr. Halle places your restoration and makes final adjustments for a comfortable fit.

No. An implant restoration integrates seamlessly into existing dental structures and will even ease the burden on any surrounding teeth.
With proper maintenance, implant posts can last your entire lifetime. The restorative elements, like crowns, bridges, or dentures, can last well over a decade if you are attentive to their care.
Should your dental restoration piece become damaged or worn, we will work with you to replace or repair it. Since you have already undergone the post placement, renewing the implant is a simple process that usually doesn't require additional surgery.
