Dental Implants In Sandpoint

If you have one or more missing teeth, you may experience inconveniences, such as impaired chewing ability, discomfort while eating, and even being self-conscious about your smile. Fortunately, at MacNeill Family Dental, we have a solution to help you achieve a confident and healthy smile – dental implants.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth that replicate the appearance, function, and durability of natural teeth. Dental implants consist of a biocompatible titanium post-surgically inserted into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. The post fuses with the bone tissue over time through a process known as osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for the artificial tooth or teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Choosing dental implants to replace missing teeth offers numerous benefits, such as:

1. Improved comfort and stability, comparable to natural teeth.
2. Restored functionality, allowing you to eat and speak without discomfort.
3. Enhanced appearance, as dental implants provide a natural-looking appearance.
4. Durable with proper oral hygiene – dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
5. Improved Jawbone Health - Dental Implants provide vital stimulation to the jawbone which can prevent deterioration and preserve proper contours.

The Dental Implant Process

At MacNeill Family Dental, we provide a comprehensive dental implant service that includes:

1.Consultation and assessment: During your initial consultation, Dr. MacNeill will assess your oral health and determine your suitability for dental implant treatment.

2.Implant placement procedure: At the surgical appointment, local anesthesia will be administered, and the implant carefully placed into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth.

3.Osseointegration and implant placement: Over the next several months, the titanium post will fuse with the surrounding bone tissue through osseointegration.

4.Implant restoration: Once the implant successfully integrates with the jawbone, Dr. MacNeill will attach a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to the implant, completing the restoration.
