Missing teeth can make it difficult to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Skyview Family Dentistry, we offer dental implants as a long-lasting, natural-looking solution to restore both function and appearance.
Whether you’ve lost a single tooth or multiple teeth, implants can help you regain the full, healthy smile you deserve.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root.
Over time, it fuses with your bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Key parts of a dental implant system:
- Implant post: Serves as the artificial root.
- Abutment: Connector that links the post to the restoration.
- Restoration: Crown, bridge, or denture that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they:
- Look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
- Prevent bone loss in the jaw.
- Provide stability for chewing and speaking.
- Don’t require altering adjacent healthy teeth.
- Are durable and can last decades with proper care.
- Improve facial structure and prevent sunken appearance after tooth loss.
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults with one or more missing teeth may be candidates for implants if they:
- Have healthy gums
- Have sufficient jawbone density to support the implant
- Are in good general health
- Don’t smoke or are willing to quit during the healing process
- Commit to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits
Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, procedures like bone grafting may make implants possible.

Aftercare and Maintenance
Taking care of dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth:
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Floss or use an interdental cleaner to remove plaque around the implant.
- Visit your dentist for regular cleanings and checkups.
- Avoid using your teeth to open packages or bite hard objects.
With proper care, implants can last 20 years or more.

Implants (Surgical)
Many patients find the procedure of implant placement easier than they anticipated. Modern dental anesthetic numbs the site, and experienced hands carefully place the implant. A tiny guide hole provides a path for threading a small implant cylinder into place. The sterile piece is inserted into an exact location, and a smooth cover, or healing cap, protects the implant during the healing period.
In some cases, a temporary or permanent crown may be inserted at the time of surgery.
Implants can’t withstand normal bite forces until the bone has integrated fully into the implant body. Dr. Relan will help you decide what will work best during the initial healing period, ensuring you’re able to function while still protecting your implants. This period usually lasts 3-6 months as the bone grows around the implant. Most patients experience minimal discomfort after placement, especially compared to an extraction.
Implants (Restorative)
A well thought out treatment plan that includes implants creates the opportunity for different restoration options.
After the healing period, crowns or bridges are custom-made and attached to the implants with small screws or dental cement
One of Healthcare’s Greatest Values
Even with all the benefits, the cost of dental implants are an important consideration. When your case brings together the latest imaging, advanced training, and modern materials, this service offers one of the best values in health care. Compared to the replacement of other parts of the body, most dental implant procedures can be done at a small fraction of those costs. Most patients carry on with normal activities right away and usually enjoy a lifetime of normal chewing, bite stability, and appearance. We know the cost of dental implants is an important part of creating a complete plan that works for you.
The cost of dental implant services involves several critical factors unique to each patient. A fee quoted without careful evaluation and treatment planning may not only be incomplete, but doesn’t consider what’s best for your mouth as an individual. The doctor customizes your treatment plan after careful evaluation your current oral conditions, needs, wants, and budget.
One thing is certain: You’ll get the highest value possible in modern implant dentistry. That means years of natural function and a smile you are proud to show. We look forward to discussing how we can partner together for the best solution for you!
