Dental implants

If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the most durable and natural-looking replacement. At McCann Dental, we specialize in high-quality dental implant treatments designed to restore your smile, confidence, and oral health. Implants not only improve the appearance of your smile but also help maintain jawbone strength and function.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small, titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a replacement root for a missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached, providing a secure and permanent restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like real teeth.
Long-Lasting: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
Preserve Jawbone Health: Prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure.
Improved Function: Eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
No Impact on Surrounding Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering healthy adjacent teeth.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates should have:

Good overall health
Healthy gums with no active periodontal disease
Sufficient jawbone density to support an implant
A commitment to proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits

The Dental Implant Process

Getting dental implants involves several steps, completed over a few months to ensure the best results:

Consultation & Assessment: Our dentists will evaluate your oral health and take X-rays to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.
Implant Placement: A small titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone.
Healing & Osseointegration: Over a few months, the implant integrates with the bone for a stable foundation.
Abutment Placement: A small connector is attached to the implant to hold the final restoration.
Final Crown Placement: A custom-made crown is securely placed, completing your new, natural-looking tooth.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer

Single-Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing one missing tooth with a natural-looking restoration.
Implant-Supported Bridges: Replace multiple missing teeth without the need for traditional bridges.
Full-Arch Restorations: Securely replace an entire upper or lower set of teeth with implant-supported dentures.
All-on-4 & All-on-6 Implants: A revolutionary treatment for full-mouth restorations using only 4 or 6 implants per arch.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. To maximize their longevity:

Brush and floss daily to maintain healthy gums.
Attend regular dental check-ups for implant maintenance.
Avoid smoking, which can interfere with healing and long-term success.
Use a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
