Losing teeth impacts more than just your smile

Most people know that losing teeth changes the way you look and feel, but what many don't realize is that the effects go much deeper than the surface. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it loses the stimulation it needs to stay healthy, and it begins to resorb and shrink. In just the first year after tooth loss, bone width can decrease by as much as 25%, and over time that bone loss adds up, causing the lower third of the face to gradually collapse, the lips to sag, and that familiar sunken appearance that can make someone look older or unhappy even when they're not.

Beyond appearance, significant bone loss can also make the jaw more prone to fractures. The good news is that dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that actually addresses  this problem at the root, because they replace not just the visible tooth but the root itself, restoring the stimulation your jawbone needs to stay strong. At Restoral Dental Dentures & Implants, we take tooth loss seriously because we know what's at stake, and we're here to help you do something about it before the hidden consequences compound.

How dental implants can help

Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard in tooth replacement, and for good reason. Here's what makes them different from every other option out there.

Natural look and feel

Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in both appearance and function. Most patients forget they even have them.

Built to last a lifetime

With proper care, dental implants can last decades, making them one of the most cost-effective long-term investments you can make in your oral health and your quality of life.

Helps prevent bone loss

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone underneath begins to deteriorate over time. Implants stimulate the bone just like a natural tooth root does, helping preserve your facial structure and preventing that sunken look that can come with tooth loss.

Life-changing treatment options

Single tooth implants

Single tooth implants

If you’re missing one tooth, a single dental implant is the closest thing to getting your natural tooth back. We place a titanium post into the jawbone and allow it to heal and bond with the bone over several months. After healing, we custom-fabricate a crown that attaches to the implant and matches the color and shape of the surrounding teeth. The result is a permanent, natural-looking replacement that doesn’t rely on or affect adjacent teeth. A dental examination and 3D scan are needed to determine whether a single-tooth implant is the right option for you.

All-on-X implants

All-on-X implants

All-on-X is a full-arch tooth replacement treatment for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth. Instead of placing one implant for every missing tooth, we place several dental implants, often four to six, to support a full set of implant-supported fixed or removable teeth. It’s truly one of the most transformative procedures we offer, and for patients who have struggled with failing teeth or ill-fitting dentures, it can be genuinely life-changing.

The “X” refers to the number of implants used, which is based on your bone, bite, and treatment needs. The new teeth can be securely attached, or fixed, to the implants so they do not move like a traditional removable denture. Patients can receive temporary teeth on the day their implants are placed. After the implants heal, the temporary teeth are replaced with a custom final restoration. A complete examination and 3D scan are needed to determine whether the treatment is right for you.

Mini implants

Mini implants

Mini dental implants are smaller and narrower than traditional dental implants. They are most often used to help stabilize a loose removable denture, especially a lower denture. Small attachments inside the denture connect to the implants and help reduce movement while eating, speaking, and smiling. Because mini implants are narrower, they may be considered for some patients who have limited bone or who may not be candidates for a larger implant procedure. Treatment is often less invasive, but mini implants are not appropriate for every patient or every type of tooth replacement. A dental examination and 3D scan are needed to determine whether mini implants are a suitable option for your mouth, bone, bite, and long-term treatment goals.

Implant-supported dentures

Implant-supported dentures

Implant-supported dentures combine the affordability and familiarity of dentures with the stability and security of implants. Instead of relying on adhesives or suction to stay in place, implant dentures snap onto a set of strategically placed implants, giving you a fit that stays put whether you’re talking, laughing, or eating your favorite foods. For patients who have been frustrated with traditional dentures that shift or cause discomfort, this is often a solution that can change everything. A dental examination and 3D scan are needed to determine how many implants may be appropriate and which type of implant-supported denture is best for you.

Extractions

Extractions

Many implant journeys start with removing a tooth that can no longer be saved. At Restoral Dental Implants and Dentures, we manage extractions in our office, so you don’t have to visit a separate provider before beginning implant treatment. From extraction to final restoration, your entire care plan happens under one roof with one trusted team. A dental examination and 3D scan are needed to evaluate the condition of your teeth and determine whether extractions and dental implants may be appropriate for you.

The dental implant process

1

Your free consultation and custom treatment plan

Your dental care journey with us begins with a thorough dental examination, 3D scan, and review of your medical history. We’ll help you develop a treatment plan that’s right for you, whether that means remaking your denture, determining if implants may be appropriate, or deciding which type of implant-supported denture best fits your needs. Your consultation is free.

2

Implant placement

On the day of your procedure, your implant or implants are placed directly into your jawbone in our office by our surgical team. We offer a full range of sedation options, including laughing gas, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, so you can choose the level of comfort that’s right for you. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the experience is.

3

Healing and restoration

After placement, your dental implant will heal and bond with the surrounding bone over a period of several months. Once it has healed and fully integrated, we’ll attach your custom-fabricated crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration, completing your new smile. Our team will be with you every step of the way, checking in and making sure your healing stays on track.

Most adults who have adequate bone density in their jaw are good candidates for dental implants. Even if you've experienced some bone loss, options like mini implants or bone grafting may still make implants possible for you. The best way to find out is to come in for a free consultation, where we'll take a 3D scan and give you a clear, honest assessment of your options.

With proper care and regular maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown or restoration attached to the implant may need to be replaced over time due to normal wear, but the implant itself is designed to be a permanent solution. Our team will give you everything you need to know to care for your implants and protect your investment long-term.

In many cases, yes. Bone loss is one of the most common concerns we hear from patients who have been living with missing teeth or wearing dentures for a while, and it doesn't automatically disqualify you from implant treatment. Depending on the extent of your bone loss, options like mini implants, All-on-X, or bone grafting may still make implants possible for you. The only way to know for sure is to come in for a free consultation, where we'll take a full CBCT 3D scan and give you an honest picture of what's possible for your specific situation.

I visited them and felt very comfortable. The staff was helpful and attentive and answered all the questions I had. Even though my insurance didn’t cover my procedure, they helped me set up a payment installment plan. Everything was handled very promptly, and I’m very happy I made the call. The location is also very convenient for me, only about a 15-minute drive from my home.
