Benefits of dental implants
An implant fuses with your jawbone to give you a stable base for a replacement tooth that looks and works like the real thing.
-
Natural look and feel
You can smile and talk without anyone noticing it's an implant.
-
Built to last
With good care, an implant often holds up for decades.
-
Bone preservation
The implant puts pressure on the jawbone, which slows the bone loss that follows a missing tooth.
-
Eat normally
A stable bite means you don't have to think about what's on your plate.
-
No adhesives
Implants stay put. No creams. No slipping at dinner.
Are you a good candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults are candidates for dental implants. A consultation with Dr. Mighion evaluates your medical history, gum health, and bone density to confirm the right path forward.
Ideal candidates often have:
- One or more missing or badly damaged teeth
- Healthy gums and a regular brushing and flossing routine
- Enough jawbone density, or you're open to a bone graft if needed
- No uncontrolled health conditions that would slow healing
Bone grafting and guided surgery can make implants possible for many patients who were previously told they weren't candidates.
Implant options at Dr. Mighion's office
From one missing tooth to a full arch, we have an implant solution.
-
Single-tooth implants
Replace one tooth with an implant and crown, color-matched to the teeth on either side.
-
Implant-supported bridges
Replace several missing teeth without touching the healthy ones beside them.
-
Implants on X (All-on-X)
A full arch of natural-looking teeth anchored on just a few implants. Often quicker than people expect.
-
Mini implants for dentures
When there isn't enough bone for standard implants, smaller-diameter mini implants can anchor a denture and keep it from slipping.
-
Implant-retained removable dentures
A denture that snaps onto implants for a secure fit and still lifts out for easy cleaning.
How the dental implant process works
Here's what to expect, from your first appointment through the final restoration.
-
Consultation and 3D imaging
A thorough exam plus digital scans so we can plan the placement before we touch anything.
-
Implant placement
The titanium post is placed in your jawbone using guided surgical techniques.
-
Healing and osseointegration
Over the next few months the implant fuses with the surrounding bone. You go about your life.
-
Abutment and custom crown
A crown, bridge, or denture is attached on top, color-matched to your other teeth.
-
Follow-up care
Regular checkups keep the implant and the rest of your mouth healthy.
Caring for your dental implants
Daily oral hygiene and regular checkups are what make implant longevity real.
- Brush twice a day and clean around the implant carefully
- Floss daily. Water flossers and interdental brushes help around the gumline
- Wear a nightguard if you grind
- Skip smoking and go easy on alcohol while you heal
