Types of Dental Implants

Dr. Dagli offers comprehensive implant options to meet your specific needs:

Single Tooth Implants

Perfect for replacing one missing tooth, a single implant consists of a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone, topped with a custom crown. This option preserves your surrounding healthy teeth and provides the most natural-looking and feeling replacement.

Full Mouth Implants

For patients missing most or all of their teeth, full mouth implants offer a permanent solution that’s far superior to traditional dentures. Options include:

  • All-on-4 — Four strategically placed implants support a full arch of teeth
  • All-on-6 — Six implants provide additional stability for a complete arch
  • Individual implants — Multiple single implants when bone density and oral health permit

Each approach provides excellent stability and function while eliminating the problems associated with removable dentures.

Are Implants Safe?

Dental implants have an excellent safety record and success rate of over 95%. Dr. Dagli uses biocompatible titanium implants that naturally integrate with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation that can last a lifetime with proper care.

The implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia in our comfortable office environment. Dr. Dagli’s extensive training and experience ensure that you receive safe, effective treatment with minimal discomfort and optimal results.

Dental Implants Pros and Cons

Understanding the advantages and considerations of dental implants helps you make an informed decision:

Pros

  • Permanent solution — With proper care, implants can last a lifetime
  • Natural appearance — Custom crowns match your existing teeth perfectly
  • Preserve jawbone — Implants stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss
  • No impact on adjacent teeth — Unlike bridges, healthy teeth remain untouched
  • Improved function — Eat and speak with confidence
  • Easy maintenance — Care for implants just like natural teeth

Cons

  • Higher initial cost — More expensive upfront than bridges or dentures
  • Surgical procedure — Requires minor surgery and healing time
  • Time investment — The complete process can take several months
  • Not suitable for everyone — Requires adequate bone density and good oral health

Are Implants Worth It?

While dental implants require a larger initial investment than other tooth replacement options, they offer unmatched value over time. When you consider the benefits of implants versus cheaper alternatives, the long-term value becomes clear:

Durability — Unlike bridges that may need replacement every 10–15 years, or dentures that require frequent adjustments and replacements, implants can last a lifetime.

Bone Health — Cheaper options like dentures can actually accelerate bone loss, leading to facial collapse and the need for additional periodontic care over time.

Quality of Life — Implants restore full chewing function and confidence, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and smile without worry.

Cost-Effectiveness — When calculated over decades, implants often cost less than repeatedly replacing bridges or dentures.

Dental Implant Process

Dr. Dagli follows a systematic approach to ensure successful implant placement:

Consultation and Planning — Comprehensive examination, X-rays, and treatment planning using advanced imaging technology.

Implant Placement — The titanium implant is surgically placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia.

Healing Period — 3–6 months for osseointegration, where the implant fuses with your jawbone.

Abutment Placement — A small connector piece is attached to the implant.

Crown Fabrication — Your custom crown is created to match your natural teeth perfectly.

Final Placement — The crown is securely attached, completing your restoration.

Dental Implant FAQ

Care for implants just like natural teeth with regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings.

Pricing and Insurance

Dr. Dagli believes in transparent pricing and will provide detailed cost estimates during your consultation. While dental implants represent a significant investment, they offer exceptional value when compared to the ongoing costs and limitations of cheaper alternatives.

Many insurance plans provide partial coverage for implant treatment. Our team works with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits and help make treatment more affordable. We also offer flexible financing options to help you achieve the smile you deserve without compromising your budget.

When considering cost, remember that implants eliminate the need for future replacements, adjustments, and additional periodontic treatments often required with other tooth replacement options.
