Your Dental Implant Options

Single Dental Implants

  • We can replace a missing tooth with the closest thing to natural teeth—a single dental implant. The dental implant post functions as the tooth root, stimulating healthy bone growth and offering reliable function. Each implant is restored with a custom dental crown offering a seamless smile and natural-looking esthetics. No one will know the difference!

Dental Implant Bridge

  • Traditional dental bridges require you to weaken adjacent teeth to act as the foundation of your new bridge. Instead, we leave healthy teeth untouched and use one or more dental implants to support a new teeth bridge. This is ideal for those with two or more missing teeth.

Full Mouth Dental Implants

  • Full mouth dental implants provide a comprehensive solution for individuals seeking to restore their missing or severely damaged teeth. This transformative procedure involves strategically placing dental implants throughout the upper and lower jaw to support a complete arch of prosthetic teeth. By combining stability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal, full mouth dental implants offer a revitalized smile and improved oral health for those in need of extensive tooth replacement.

An In-Depth Introduction

Your initial visit involves a comprehensive review of your treatment plan created with Dr. Cramin Wiltz, during which we delve deeper into the procedure to ensure clarity and address any questions you may have. This step is crucial in fine-tuning the details and ensuring alignment with your smile expectations.

We’ll place your dental implants into your jawbone at a 45-degree angle to ensure optimal durability. Once placed, we’ll attach your abutment and temporary restoration so you can enjoy your brand-new smile immediately! With every step, we provide you with an experience that embodies expertise, precision, and a commitment to your needs.

Common Question We’re Asked About Dental Implants

1

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is made up of three parts—a titanium or ceramic post, an abutment, and a restoration. Built to function like natural tooth roots, dental implants provide bone support and a stable foundation for a single dental crown, a dental bridge, a denture, or a full arch prosthesis.

2

Who is a candidate for dental implants?

That slender tissue connecting your top lip to your gums or your tongue to the bottom of your mouth are each called a frenulum. If either of these tissues is too restrictive, you may have difficulty speaking or eating leading to a tongue-tie or lip-tie. Receiving a frenectomy in Madison & Decatur, AL releases this problematic tissue, freeing you to get full enjoyment out of meals, conversations, and even simply smiling.

3

How much does treatment cost?

The cost of dental implants is based on many factors, including how many teeth are missing and for how long, the types of materials used, and what additional procedures are needed. Our team can help you apply for dental financing and will file insurance claims on your behalf to help you afford treatment.

4

How long is the treatment process?

Dental implant treatment can range from a few months to over a year. In many cases, implants can be surgically placed soon after the consultation and treatment plan are complete. For patients needing bone grafting, this may be a separate procedure requiring several months of healing before dental implant surgery. After dental implants are placed, healing can take 3+ months before optimal integration is achieved and a final restoration can be permanently attached. In many cases, patients can wear a temporary restoration during healing.

5

How long can I expect dental implants to last?

Dental implants are designed to last for decades and have the potential to last for the rest of your life. Surgical technology and clinical experience, along with your health habits, ultimately affect the longevity of your implants. Choosing an experienced implant team like ours at Next Level Implant Center provides more precise and accurate surgery that better guarantees the long-term success of your treatment.
