Lasting Tooth Replacement You Can Trust
Dental implants are small posts that replace the root of a missing tooth. At our St. Louis dental office, these implants bond with the bone and support a custom crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration. The result is a stable, natural-looking smile you can use with confidence—without worrying about slipping or removing your teeth.
Implant Options We Offer
Our St. Louis restorative dentist will evaluate your goals, bone health, and budget to recommend the best approach. Common options include:
- Single-Tooth Implant: Replaces a single missing tooth with an implant and custom crown—no need to alter neighboring teeth. In some cases, a tooth can be removed and replaced the same day, when appropriate.
- Implant Bridge: A secure solution to replace several missing teeth in a row using two or more implants as anchors.
- Full-Arch Replacement (Snap-In Overdenture): Removable prosthesis that snaps onto several implants for added stability and easy cleaning.
- Full-Arch Replacement (Fixed / Screw-Retained): A non-removable option that stays in place for a natural feel and strong chewing function. Your dentist removes it when maintenance is needed.
What to Expect With Dental Implants
- Consultation & 3D evaluation – We review your goals, take any necessary images, and confirm your candidacy.
- Personalized plan & estimate – We outline timing, steps, and costs—plus insurance and financing options.
- Implant placement – The implant is positioned in the jaw; many patients return to normal activities quickly.
- Healing period – The implant bonds with the bone for secure support. A temporary tooth may be used during the healing process when necessary.
- Custom restoration – A crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis is designed for comfort, function, and a natural look.
- Follow-up & home care – We show you how to maintain the health of your implants and gums in the long term.
