What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth. Implants fuse with your jawbone, offering permanent support for crowns, bridges, or dentures while preserving bone health and facial structure.

Benefits
Natural Look and Feel
Dental implants look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. They're designed to fuse with bone, becoming permanent. This means you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing your replacement teeth are secure and blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Long-Lasting Solution
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. They're a durable, long-term solution for tooth loss. Unlike dentures or bridges that may need replacement every 5-10 years, implants are designed to be permanent, making them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Improved Oral Health
Unlike tooth-supported bridges, implants don't require reducing other teeth. More of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. They also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene. Implants prevent bone loss, maintaining facial structure and jawbone strength.

Types of Dental Implants
At Valor Dental, we offer various implant solutions to meet your unique needs and restore your smile.
Single Tooth Implants
Ideal for replacing individual missing teeth, single tooth implants consist of a titanium post topped with a custom-made crown. They look and function just like natural teeth, preserving your smile's aesthetics and your ability to eat comfortably.
All-on-X Implants
All-on-X implants provide a full arch replacement using just four to six implants. This innovative technique offers a stable, permanent solution for those missing all upper or lower teeth, restoring full mouth function with a natural-looking smile.
Implant-Retained Dentures
These combine the stability of implants with the coverage of dentures. Several implants are placed to secure a full denture, offering improved comfort, speech, and chewing ability compared to traditional dentures. They're removable for easy cleaning.
Mini Implants
Smaller than traditional implants, mini implants can be used in areas with limited bone volume. They're often used to stabilize lower dentures or replace small teeth. The procedure is less invasive and often more affordable.

Implant Placement
Using advanced surgical techniques, we precisely place the implant into your jawbone. In some cases, we may perform bone grafting to ensure sufficient bone volume. The surgery is usually done under local anesthesia for your comfort.

Healing & Osseointegration
After placement, we allow time for the implant to fuse with your jawbone, a process called osseointegration. This typically takes 3-6 months. During this time, we may provide a temporary restoration to maintain aesthetics and function.

Restoration Placement
Once healing is complete, we attach an abutment to the implant and take impressions for your custom restoration. Whether it's a crown, bridge, or denture, we ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance before securing it to the implant.

Most patients report that the procedure is less uncomfortable than they expected. We use local anesthesia during the surgery, and any postoperative discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Many patients return to work the next day.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant itself, which is integrated into the bone, rarely needs replacement. However, the crown or other restoration attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.
