Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Over time, the bone fuses with the implant, creating a stable base for artificial teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Dental Professionals
Dental implants offer a lasting solution for missing teeth, restoring both your oral health and your smile. Designed for durability, they function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Our seamless implant process ensures a comfortable experience, and we handle everything—from simple placements to complex procedures—right here in our office.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants provide stable support for artificial teeth as metal posts or frames are surgically positioned and fused into the jawbone, beneath the gums. Implants function and look just like your natural teeth and can be a welcome alternative to dentures and bridgework. Implants have a long-term success rate of 95%. If you may need implants, don’t wait any longer to book your appointment! Our compassionate staff is standing by to assist you when you are ready to schedule your dental implant consultation at one of our Utah offices.
Implants are the perfect way to fill the gaps in your smile if you have missing or rotting teeth. By inserting titanium rods into the jawbone, the jaw will naturally reform around the rod. Once the artificial teeth are installed, you will be able to chew with strength and smile with confidence. For high-quality implant procedures, reach out to our dentists at Abundant Dental Care to schedule a consultation regarding the current state of your oral health.
What to Expect From Your Implant Experience
Before the dental implant procedure, your dentist will perform an assessment to determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants. After discussing your options and developing a plan, the next step is to surgically place the implant. You’ll receive sedation so you can stay calm and comfortable during the procedure. There will be a healing period which gives the bone enough time to grow around the implant, a process known as osseointegration. At your next appointment, your dentist will place a connecting piece called an abutment, which will hold your new custom replacement teeth, also known as crowns. To keep your teeth healthy, it’s important to brush twice a day, floss, and see your dentist for regular follow-up appointments.

FAQ
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth may be good candidates. Ideal candidates should have healthy gums, sufficient jawbone density, and be committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or longer—many last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential to ensuring their longevity.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and sedation to ensure comfort. Most patients report minimal pain during surgery, with mild soreness afterward that can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medications.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The full process usually takes several months, depending on healing time. After the implant is placed, osseointegration (bone fusing with the implant) may take 3–6 months before the final crown or replacement tooth is attached.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. Many insurance policies do not fully cover dental implants since they are often considered cosmetic, but some may cover portions of the procedure such as extractions or crowns. Our team can help review your benefits and discuss financing options.
