Dental Implants
Do you struggle to eat or speak due to missing teeth?
Dental implants are the gold standard to help fill in the gaps in your smile and restore your oral function.
Learn how our skilled dentists in Wasilla, AK, can help you smile confidently once more with implants.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots often made of titanium or ceramic. These tooth roots offer amazing stability by supporting a variety of restorations to replace missing teeth. Implants also offer incredible bone-saving benefits. When a patient loses a tooth, their jawbone no longer receives the stimulation the tooth root once provided. This means the jawbone can begin to deteriorate, which can lead to further oral health issues. Implants provide the jawbone with the stimulation it needs to stay healthy.
Creating Beautiful Smiles with Stunning Restorations
Dental implants paired with custom restorations are considered the very best solution for patients with missing teeth. Depending on your needs, our Wasilla dental practice can recommend a variety of custom restorations that look just like your natural teeth.
A dental bridge is designed to replace two or more consecutive missing teeth.
Dentures treat complete tooth loss and unlike traditional options, will never slip out of place.
See How Dental Implants Work
An implant is surgically placed in the jawbone. An abutment or connector piece tops the implant, securing the restoration to the implant. In this case, a dental crown is used to replace a single missing tooth.

Concerned About Costs? We Accept Insurance and Financing
We don't want financial barriers to prevent our patients from achieving healthy and beautiful smiles. Here is how we make dental care more affordable:
Dental Implant Candidacy
Wondering if you are a candidate for dental implants? During your initial consultation at our Wasilla dental practice, your dentist will help you determine if you qualify. You may be a good candidate for implants if you:
Have a Dense, Healthy Jawbone
You must have sufficient jawbone material for the dental implants to fuse with. If you have experienced bone atrophy, your dentist will determine if you need preparatory bone grafting and refer you to a trusted oral surgeon if needed.
Do Not Use Tobacco
Tobacco use is not only detrimental to your oral and overall health, but it can increase your risk of infection and implant failure. It is strongly suggested that you quit all tobacco products before dental implant placement to give you the best chance of success.
Caring for Your New Smile
With proper care and maintenance, your restoration can last for 15 years or more, while your dental implant can last a lifetime. Caring for your new smile is easy.
Dental Implant Treatment Timeline
Your treatment timeline may look different based on your needs and whether you need preparatory procedures such as tooth extraction or periodontal care. However, treatment typically consists of these stages:
We offer sedation dentistry options to ensure you are completely comfortable during treatment.
