Dental Implants
Kalispell, Montana and the greater Flathead Valley community
Are you looking for a permanent solution to replace one or more missing teeth? Dental implants provide a permanent, natural-looking option to restore your smile. At Ivey Dental, we use the latest technology and techniques to offer implant solutions that closely mimic nature's design, ensuring exceptional stability, function, and durability. Visit our Kalispell practice to learn more about today's gold standard in tooth restoration.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are precision-engineered titanium posts that we surgically insert into the jawbone beneath your gums. As the area heals, your implants will integrate with your natural bone structure, providing a stable foundation for one, several, or a complete arch of missing teeth. At Ivey Dental, we use BioHorizons implants, which are proudly crafted in the USA 🇺🇲 and recognized for their quality and craftsmanship.
What Are Your Dental Implant Options?
At Ivey Dental, we offer a range of implant restoration options, including the following:
- Single Implants: If you are missing a single tooth, a custom crown placed on an implant can restore your complete smile. Your new restoration will look and function like your natural teeth, enhancing your oral health and your quality of life.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: These aesthetic restorations offer a permanent option for restoring two or more adjacent teeth. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on natural teeth for support, implant-supported bridges are secured to dental implants on either side of the gap, providing exceptional stability and function.
- Overdentures: These removable implant-supported dentures snap onto two or more dental implants, providing an incredibly comfortable and secure fit. Overdentures offer a stable and functional alternative to traditional dentures, enhancing your smile’s health and function.
- All-on-4s: All-on-4s offer a superior solution for those requiring full arch restoration. As few as four implants strategically placed in your jawbone can support an entire arch of aesthetic replacement teeth, providing an incredibly stable and functional option to restore your smile.
At Ivey Dental, we offer implant restorations meticulously crafted to provide exceptional durability, function, and aesthetics. With over 1500 successful implant placements and counting, you can count on us for care that not only meets but exceeds your expectations!
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer numerous benefits over other traditional tooth replacement options, including the following:
- They Are Lifelike: Your new implant restorations are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, delivering beautifully lifelike results.
- They Prevent Bone Loss: Dental implants are the only restorations that can mimic the function of your missing tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone and maintaining its integrity.
- They Are Stable: Your implants fuse with your jawbone after placement in a process known as osseointegration, providing a solid foundation to support implant restorations meticulously crafted to match your smile.
- They Restore Function: Dental implants are the second best thing to natural, healthy teeth, restoring your ability to chew with comfort and speak without worrying your replacement teeth will shift out of place.
- They Enhance Your Oral Health: Dental implants prevent any remaining teeth from shifting out of position, stabilizing them and preserving the alignment of your teeth and bite.
- They are Predictable: Dental implants have an incredibly high success rate and have the potential to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
Preparing for Implant Placement
The success of your dental implant journey begins with meticulous planning. We typically start by capturing high-quality 3D images of your teeth and surrounding structures using our cutting-edge CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) unit. The intricate images provide a clear visualization of critical structures like your nerve pathways, sinuses, bone density, and more.
If you have bone loss in the area, we may recommend placing a bone graft to ensure the procedure's success. If, on the other hand, you have bone loss that extends into your sinus cavity, we may recommend a sinus lift. The procedure involves lifting the sinus floor to create the space needed for successful implant placement. Â
