What are
Dental Implants?
Dental implants themselves are small titanium posts that are surgically placed below your gumline to restore the missing root structure of your teeth. They naturally fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, providing replacement teeth with a strong, stable, and unwavering foundation for restorations to be secured to. Whether you need to replace one teeth, several teeth, or an entire arch, dental implants can do it all, while allowing you to enjoy the look and feel of a natural smile.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?
The best way to determine whether dental implants are the right treatment option for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Davidson. During this appointment, our team at STAR Dental will capture X-ray images of your mouth and facial structure, ask you some questions, and help determine whether this procedure is the best option for your unique needs. We’ll also outline a detailed treatment plan so you know exactly what to expect throughout the process if you decide to move forward with getting dental implants.
Missing Single Tooth
For a single missing tooth, we can place one dental implant in the area below your gumline where your tooth is missing. Once the implant post fuses with your jawbone, we’ll attach a small metal connector piece to it, called an abutment. This will hold a customized dental crown in place that will fill the gap in your mouth.
Missing Multiple Teeth
Instead of getting a traditional dental bridge that would require the alteration of your healthy existing teeth, we can place two dental implant posts at either side of the gap in your smile. This will anchor your bridge in place and enhance your chewing and speaking abilities.
Missing All Teeth
If you’re missing an entire arch of teeth, we can secure a full denture to your smile by anchoring the prosthetic to anywhere from four to eight dental implants, which we’ll strategically place along your gumline. That way, you won’t have to deal with slipping or shifting restorations anymore.
Partners with Local Specialist in Belle Plaine
Dr. Davidson is proud to partner with oral surgeons in the Belle Plaine area during dental implant treatments to ensure that her patients receive ideal results. Whether you want to replace one tooth or an entire arch, our team will refer you to an expert who will provide you with a seamless surgery. After you heal, you’ll return to our office so our team can restore your implants and complete your smile.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
The cost of your dental implant treatment will depend on what your unique needs are. For example, how many dental implants will you need to place your restoration? What type of restoration do you require? And, do you require preparatory procedures? We’ll help determine all of these factors during your initial consultation, once we’ve conducted a visual examination of your teeth and gums and have outlined a treatment plan for you. Our team is more than happy to discuss financial options and dental insurance coverage as well.
