The Only Permanent Solution to Restore Your Smile

If you have missing teeth, you know firsthand that this can present daily physical, emotional, and social burdens. It’s difficult to talk, smile, and laugh when you have gaps in your smile, while the empty spaces can harbor bacteria and lead to tooth decay, gum disease, bone deterioration, and additional tooth loss. The good news is that dental implants can restore your smile function and aesthetics for an entire lifetime with proper care.

If you’re struggling with the many repercussions of tooth loss, it’s time to restore your smile and quality of life with affordable dental implants in Willmar, MN.

Dental implants are the optimal solution for tooth loss due to their unrivaled aesthetic appearance, durability, and lifespan.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a natural-looking and permanent three-part tooth replacement option. Once the biocompatible implant post integrates with your underlying bone, it helps prevent further bone deterioration while preserving your facial structure. A small titanium piece called an abutment placed on or built into the top of the implant connects to the third component: a single dental crown, multiple crowns, or a full arch prosthesis.

Our Dental Implant Options

Single Implants

Compared to other options, dental implants in Willmar, MN, offer a structure that most closely mimics natural teeth. The implant post replaces the missing tooth root, while the dental crown replaces the part of your tooth visible above the gum line. Implants restore the look and function of your smile and bite while enhancing oral health.

Dental Bridge

With traditional bridges, two healthy teeth must be modified and crowned to support the false tooth. This can place stress on neighboring teeth and compromise existing bone structure. Implant-supported bridges look and function like natural teeth, reduce the risk of gum and bone recession and lessen the risk of bacteria growth and decay around the bridge.

Implant Supported Dentures

Instead of resting on your gums, an implant-supported denture attaches directly to your jawbone with dental implants. The prosthesis can be designed as removable or fixed. The latter offers the most stability and function while eliminating the common daily issues associated with traditional dentures, bone loss, and undesirable facial changes down the road.

Full Mouth Dental Implants

All-on-4 to 6 full mouth dental implants in Willmar, MN offer a life-changing, streamlined solution for extensive tooth loss. The All-on-4 to 6 full mouth dental implants protocol is a perfect solution if you’ve already experienced significant bone loss and wish to get temporary teeth the same day as surgery. The anterior (front) implants are placed straight into your jaw, while the posterior (back) implants are inserted at a 45-degree angle, often eliminating the need for bone grafting.

Your Personalized Dental Implant Timeline

Our dental implant process is personalized to meet your specific oral health needs, smile goals, and budget. We’ll explain everything you need to know because we want you to make an informed decision and experience a complication-free journey to renewed oral health.

Consult and Planning

The first step is an in-depth consultation with Dr. Trent Neisen to determine if dental implants are right for oral health needs. The initial evaluation includes discussing your dental and medical history, digital X-rays, and a cone-beam computed tomography scan to analyze your bone structure, nerve tissue, and sinus cavities. Once your treatment is approved, we’ll provide a detailed treatment plan and cost estimate and schedule your surgery visit.

Implant Procedure

In addition to local anesthetics, we offer minimal sedation to deliver a comfortable and anxiety-free procedure. During the procedure, Dr. Neisen makes small openings in your gums and surgically places the titanium implants in predetermined sites in your jaw. The sites are cleaned, disinfected, and sutured closed.

Healing And Final Restorations

We’ll provide postsurgical guidelines to ensure your recovery progresses as it should. While initial healing typically occurs in less than two weeks, it takes implants about three to six months to bond with your jaw bone permanently in a process called osseointegration.

You’ll wear a temporary prosthesis with full mouth dental implants during healing/fusion. After this phase, you’ll return to our practice and be fitted for your beautiful final crown, bridge, or full mouth prosthesis crafted from the highest-quality zirconia.
