Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can impact your ability to speak clearly, chew comfortably, and maintain the health of your jawbone and remaining teeth. At Pure Smiles in Westerville, OH, we believe everyone deserves a full, confident smile. That’s why we proudly offer advanced dental implant solutions to restore your smile’s strength, function, and beauty. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, dental implants provide a long-lasting, natural-looking option that can transform your health and self-esteem.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, it serves as a stable foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or denture. Because implants mimic the structure of natural teeth, they offer unmatched durability, stability, and function.
Each implant treatment at Pure Smiles is customized to your unique dental needs and goals. Our skilled dental team uses advanced technology to ensure precision, comfort, and long-term success at every step of the process.
Benefits Of Choosing Dental Implants
Dental implants are widely regarded as the gold standard for tooth replacement—and for good reason. They offer a range of benefits that make them stand out from other restorative options:
- They look and feel like natural teeth.
- They preserve jawbone health and prevent bone loss.
- They support facial structure and prevent premature aging.
- They don’t slip or shift like dentures.
- They allow for normal chewing and speaking.
- They are easy to care for and maintain.
With proper care, dental implants can last for decades, making them a smart, long-term investment in your health and confidence.
Types Of Dental Implant Restorations
At Pure Smiles, we offer multiple types of implant restorations to meet your needs:
- Single-tooth implants: Replace one missing tooth with a dental crown supported by a single implant.
- Implant-supported bridges: Ideal for patients missing several adjacent teeth. These bridges are anchored by implants, eliminating the need to alter neighboring healthy teeth.
- Implant-supported dentures: Secure, full-arch dentures that are held in place by implants, providing greater comfort and stability compared to traditional removable dentures.
Our team will assess your oral health and goals to recommend the right type of implant-supported restoration for you.
The Dental Implant Process
Getting dental implants is a multi-step process, but the results are worth the time and care. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation and evaluation: We begin with a thorough exam, including digital imaging, to determine if you’re a good candidate for implants.
- Implant placement: The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
- Abutment placement: Once healing is complete, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant.
- Restoration attachment: Finally, your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely placed on the abutment, completing your smile.
We prioritize patient comfort and communication throughout the entire journey to ensure a smooth, successful experience.
Are You A Candidate For Dental Implants?
Many adults are candidates for dental implants, but a few key factors help determine eligibility:
- Good overall health.
- Healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density.
- No uncontrolled chronic conditions (such as diabetes).
- Commitment to oral hygiene and routine dental visits.
If you’ve been told you aren’t a candidate due to bone loss, don’t worry—procedures like bone grafting may make implants possible. Our Westerville team will thoroughly evaluate your case and recommend the best treatment path.
