Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

Missing teeth can make it harder to eat, speak, and feel confident in your smile. Dental implants offer a stable, long-term way to replace missing teeth by using small titanium posts that function like natural tooth roots.

Unlike traditional removable dentures, implants are anchored in the jawbone and can support replacement teeth designed to look and function like natural teeth.

At Fletcher Hills Dental Implant & Oral Surgery Center, Dr. Nick Gadler provides comprehensive dental implant treatment for patients who need to replace one tooth, several teeth, or an entire smile.

Time is allowed for bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.  A support post (abutment) is then placed on the implant and a new replacement tooth (crown) is placed on top of the abutment. In many cases a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the implant immediately after it is placed. If all of your teeth are missing, a variety of treatment options are available to support the replacement teeth.

Dental Implant Options at Fletcher Hills Oral Surgery

Every patient has different needs. That’s why Dr. Gadler offers a full range of implant solutions, including:

Single Tooth Dental Implants

A single dental implant can replace one missing tooth without requiring the surrounding teeth to be altered.

A typical single-tooth implant includes:

  • A dental implant that replaces the tooth root
  • An abutment that connects the implant to the restoration
  • A custom dental crown that replaces the visible tooth

Single implants can provide a natural-looking and stable replacement for an individual missing tooth.

Full Arch Dental Implants

Full arch implants can replace an entire upper or lower arch of missing or failing teeth.

Instead of placing an individual implant for every missing tooth, several strategically positioned implants support a complete set of replacement teeth.

Benefits can include:

  • Fixed, stable replacement teeth
  • Improved chewing ability
  • A more natural-looking smile
  • Improved confidence
  • Support for long-term oral function

All-on-4® Dental Implants

All-on-4® treatment uses four strategically positioned dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth.

This option can be particularly beneficial for patients who have:

  • Lost most or all of their teeth
  • Severely damaged or failing teeth
  • Difficulty wearing traditional dentures
  • Significant concerns about the stability of their dentures

Dr. Gadler can evaluate your bone structure, oral health, and goals to determine whether All-on-4® is appropriate for you.

Full Mouth Dental Implants

Full mouth dental implants can restore both the upper and lower arches for patients who have extensive tooth loss or severely damaged teeth.

Treatment is customized around your individual anatomy, oral health, and functional and cosmetic goals.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Implants can also be used to stabilize removable dentures.

Unlike traditional dentures that simply rest on the gums, implant-retained dentures attach to dental implants, providing additional stability and reducing movement while eating and speaking.

Sedation Options for Dental Implant Surgery

Feeling nervous about implant surgery is completely understandable. At Fletcher Hills Dental Implant & Oral Surgery Center, all three types of sedation are available to help make your experience more comfortable.

Depending on your procedure and individual needs, sedation can help you:

  • Feel more relaxed during treatment
  • Reduce dental anxiety
  • Remain comfortable during longer procedures
  • Make extensive treatment easier to tolerate

During your consultation, the team will discuss your sedation options and help determine which approach is appropriate for your procedure.

“Don’t be afraid to Smile.”

For years I’d felt like a part of my body was missing — because my teeth were. My dentist told me that dental implants would make me feel and look a lot better. OK, I said. Now, I’m thrilled. I can smile, eat anything, and enjoy a good laugh with my friends.
