Dental Implants in Henderson, NV - Permanent Tooth Replacement Solutions

Dental implants are a cutting-edge tooth replacement option that replicates the structure and function of natural teeth. Each implant consists of a biocompatible titanium post-surgically embedded into the jawbone. Over time, the post fuses with the bone in a process known as osseointegration, creating a sturdy foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. Unlike other solutions, such as Dental Bridges or Partial Dentures, implants provide unparalleled stability, maintain jawbone health, and blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth.

Dr. Alivia's advanced training from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry allows him to approach each implant case with precision and a commitment to patient comfort. Whether you're looking to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants offer an ideal, long-lasting solution that keeps your smile looking and feeling natural.

‍

1. Consultation and Assessment
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, where Dr. Alivia will evaluate your oral health, review your medical history, and discuss your goals for tooth replacement. During this assessment, we’ll take Dental X-rays to determine if you have sufficient bone density to support an implant or if preparatory procedures, like bone grafting, are necessary.

2. Implant Placement
Once you’re ready for the implant procedure, Dr. Alivia will place the titanium post into your jawbone with precision and care. This minor surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the process.

3. Healing and Osseointegration
The implant then undergoes osseointegration, a healing process where it fuses with the jawbone. This step, crucial to the success of the implant, typically takes several months, creating a secure foundation for your new restoration.

4. Crown or Restoration Placement
Once healing is complete, Dr. Alivia will place a custom crown, bridge, or denture onto the implant. We work closely with top dental labs to create restorations that match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless finish.

Compared to traditional tooth replacement options, dental implants offer distinct advantages:

• Durability: Implants are designed to last for decades with proper care.
• Jawbone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.
• Enhanced Comfort: Unlike dentures, which may slip, implants remain firmly in place, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
• Improved Oral Health: Implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, maintaining the health of your surrounding teeth.

If you’re interested in comparing dental implants with other options, such as Dental Bridges or All-on-4 Implants for full-arch restoration, our team is happy to guide you through your choices.
