Dental Implants

implants-homeIf you are missing any teeth, Garr Dental Center offers dental implants to help replace your teeth—restoring not just your smile, but your full oral health as well!

At Garr Dental Center, Dr. Garr can handle every step of the dental implant process, from diagnosis and implant placement to crown restoration and cosmetic follow-ups. He received dental implant placement training at the White Cap Institute and teaches courses on dental implants, so you can rely on his experience and commitment to your care.

Our office also utilizes advanced technology like CT scanners to ensure precise placement of dental implants for each patient. We also care about the aesthetics of your smile and will ensure your teeth implants look beautiful, too.

Contact our office today to request a consultation.


What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a synthetic tooth root that can serve as a replacement for patients who have missing teeth. Dental implants are made with a special titanium alloy that fuses directly to the bone just like a regular tooth root. When combined with a dental crown, a dental implant can make a perfect artificial tooth replacement.

"Great dental group! Friendly staff that are professional and efficient. I really appreciate that they can build crowns while you’re there. Fantastic technology. I recommended them to my father who’s 89 after he tried other dentists. He now has several implants from Garr Dental."

Other restorative dentistry procedures replace just the visible surface of missing or lost teeth, leaving the jaw unsupported without a tooth root. Restored dental implants, on the other hand, replace the tooth root as well as the part of the tooth above the surface of the gum.

Benefits of Dental Implants

When a tooth is lost, and the tooth root is not replaced, the bone underneath starts to deteriorate. This deterioration can have a negative affect on the appearance of a patient’s face, and their overall oral health.

Dental implants keep the jawbone healthy and strong! They provide a beautiful, fully functional tooth that looks and feels completely natural. You can have a full and complete smile again, and your peers won’t be able to tell that you had a missing tooth in the first place.

Losing a tooth can be devastating, but dental implants can restore patients’ hope and allow them to enjoy day to day activities and social situations again.

At Garr Dental Center your dental implant can be placed and restored all in our office. You can have the entire procedure done by Dr. Garr—a dentist you trust—in one convenient, easy, location.

The Dental Implant Procedure

If you are a candidate for dental implants, we’ll be sure to explain each step to you before proceeding. The general process is as follows:

  • First Dr. Garr will prepare the area in the gums for the tooth implant.
  • Next, using a custom surgical guide, Dr. Garr will place the implant in precisely the right spot. This guide ensures the implant is placed exactly where it needs to be in your jaw for optimal function and aesthetics.
  • After the implant has healed, at a second appointment, Dr. Garr will fix the abutment, and attach a beautiful dental crown.
  • That day you will leave with a full smile and a beautiful, functional tooth.
  • Dental implants are cared for with flossing and brushing just like your regular teeth. Dental implants never get cavities and are durable enough to last a lifetime with the proper care.

    Tooth Replacement Options

    While dental implants aren’t the only option to replace teeth, they do have many benefits. At Garr Dental Group, we do offer alternatives such as dental bridges and traditional dentures, which can be good options for some people.

    When compared to dental bridges, dental implants are much more secure and last longer. Dental implants last a lifetime while bridges last around five to ten years.

    And, if you need dentures, implant-supported dentures allow you to have a full mouth of natural, strong teeth with only a few implants. Implant-supported dentures are much more comfortable than traditional implants.

    Bone Grafts and Sinus Lifts

    As an experienced dental implant dentist, Dr. Garr can help many patients receive the tooth implants they need.

    After you’ve lost teeth, your jaw bone may start to lose density. In these cases, you don’t have a strong enough foundation to support dental implants and support osseointegration, or the process of the implant fusing with your jaw.

    Dr. Garr offers additional treatments, including bone grafts and sinus lifts, that restore jawbone density. So, even if you’re not yet a good candidate for dental implants, these procedures can get you there.

    How Much Does a Tooth Implant Cost?

    Sometimes, patients aren’t sure dental implants are cost-effective, but there are many factors to consider. While it’s true that dental implants are usually more expensive up front than other options like dental bridges, they can be more worth your money in the long run.

    With tooth implants, you’re receiving a long-term investment that will likely last your lifetime. While other tooth restoration options have their place, you’ll likely need to replace them at least once or twice. Tooth implants also function and look more like your natural teeth.

    The other alternative to tooth implants is doing nothing. While this may be a tempting option, tooth loss can impact your health and happiness. Even one missing tooth can lead to loss of bone density and cause your other teeth to shift, leading to uncomfortable symptoms.

    Am I a Candidate for Implant Dentistry?

    Wondering if you’re a good candidate for implant dentistry? Setting up an appointment is the best way to know for sure.

    In general, however, you should meet the following requirements:

    • Be at least 18 years old
    • Have a strong enough jaw to support the implants
    • Be in overall good health
    • Avoid smoking

    But, if you don’t have enough bone to support implants, Dr. Garr and the dental team can perform sinus lifts or bone grafts to help you enjoy the benefits of dental implants.
