Dental Implants
Benefits of Dental Implants
Using teeth implants, we can give you back your full smile even after you’ve suffered a devastating tooth loss. With a dental implant from Ione Family Dentistry, you can forget that you ever lost a tooth. Each implant is created specifically for each patient to restore smile beauty, functionality, and health.
Our implants can be used to replace single teeth, but they can also help patients who are missing multiple teeth as well. With dental implants we can create permanent dentures that will never slip or click out of place. Our dental implants allow us to provide patients with an excellent alternative to traditional false teeth that require sticky dental adhesive.
Choosing implant dentistry to restore your smile comes with many patient benefits including:
Comfort and Functionality
After the healing period, a dental implant with a porcelain crown will feel as comfortable in your mouth as a natural tooth. With a perfectly placed dental implant, you’ll enjoy a full, comfortable bite and complete tooth functionality. Our teeth implants can also provide greater comfort for patients who require false teeth or dentures. Permanent dentures provide a more secure and comfortable fit and will never slip or click out of place.
Health
When you lose a tooth, the bone underneath the lost tooth can start to deteriorate. Over time, this bone loss can cause other dental problems and create a more sunken facial appearance. Dental implants prevent jawbone deterioration and provide your jaw with the support that it needs to stay healthy and strong. Patients with dental implants look younger and feel better.
Beauty
Each dental implant is restored with a beautiful, custom-made porcelain crown. Our crowns are created specifically for each patient to enhance and improve their smile. We use molds and impressions of your natural teeth to craft crowns that will look and feel great. The people you meet won’t even be able to tell that you ever lost a tooth.
What Are Dental Implants?
A tooth implant is a “root” device, usually made of titanium, used in dentistry to support restorations that replace a tooth or group of teeth. Dental implants can be used to support a number of dental prostheses, including dental crowns, implant-supported dentures, or bridges. They can also be used as anchorage for orthodontic tooth movement. The use of dental implants permits unidirectional tooth movement without reciprocal action.
A typical tooth implant consists of a titanium screw (resembling a tooth root) with a roughened or smooth surface with the majority of dental implants being made of pure titanium. This same titanium alloy is used in hip replacements and other surgeries because of its ability to fuse with your bone in a process called ‘osseointegration.’

Our permanent dentures use strategically placed dental implants to keep your dentures in place and provide better jawbone support.
Dental Implant Options
We offer a complete range of restorative treatments that have been developed specifically to replace missing teeth. Whether you’re missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all of your teeth, we have an option that will meet your needs and get you smiling again.
REPLACEMENT TOOTH OR CROWN
A single tooth replacement refers to procedures that can restore one missing tooth. When you’re missing a single tooth, a dental implant is generally the very best option. Dental implants are synthetic tooth roots that can be combined with porcelain crowns to create a perfect tooth replacement that will keep your jawbone healthy and restore full smile functionality and beauty.
BRIDGES
If you are missing multiple teeth, we can restore your smile with an implant bridge. Bridges use porcelain crowns to “bridge” the gap left by missing teeth, and can be used to replace one tooth or more than one teeth in a row.
IMPLANT DENTURES
Full-arch replacements are used when a patient is missing a significant number, or all of their teeth. For patients who require full-arch replacement, we offer implant supported dentures. Instead of sitting directly on the gums, implant supported dentures can clip into the dental implants.
