Do I Need a Dental Implant?
Your oral health plays a huge role in your overall health, so while a missing tooth might not seem like a big deal, it can have negative effects on your whole body.
Keep Your Jaw Healthy
One of the biggest impacts of a missing tooth is the deterioration of the jawbone. Your jawbone requires regular stimulation through your teeth from chewing, biting, and speaking forces. Without these constant forces, the supporting jawbone structure under a missing tooth can deteriorate by around 25% within just one year.
Fortunately, an implant can prevent this deterioration. Our state-of-the-art zirconia implants is biocompatible and safe to use in the body. Your jaw bone will safely integrate and fuse with the new ceramic implant much differently than the standard titanium implants. Ceramic implants provide the same forces as a natural tooth structure to maintain bone structure and integrity.
Dental Implants Last Longer
Dental implants can last over 25 years, which is much longer than other tooth-replacement methods – bridges last 5-10 years, and dentures only last 5-10 years. So, while dental implants are more expensive than the other options up front, they are often cheaper over a patient’s lifetime since they don’t need to be replaced nearly as often.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer
We offer several different types of dental implant treatment options to meet your specific needs.
Single Tooth Replacement
If you’ve lost just one tooth due to tooth decay, gum disease, or an injury, or if you are missing a tooth due to any other reason, we can replace it with a single-tooth dental implant surgery.
The implant will consist of three pieces: a ceramic implant into the jawbone, a porcelain abutment, and a ceramic crown which is the visible part that looks like a tooth.. We use ceramic crowns because they are non-toxic, biocompatible, metal-free and they are closest in appearance to your natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
If you are missing several teeth in a row, we can fill the gap with an implant-supported bridge. This is simpler and more affordable than replacing each tooth with an individual implant and still provides beautiful natural-looking results.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
You may have heard of the “snap-on” denture option. If you’ve lost an entire row of teeth or all of your teeth entirely, we offer full-arch restoration, which is similar to dentures except that the replacement teeth snap into place on the implants. This offers greater stability than traditional dentures and is currently the standard of care at our practice.
Dental Implant Costs in Portland
The cost of dental implants varies based on the scope of the surgery and whether there are additional steps needed before the implant can be carried out. These steps include a CT scan and imaging, tooth extraction and/or bone grafting if necessary, LPRF, implant surgery, and the final restoration when the crown is put in place. Naturally, a full-mouth dental implant will be more expensive than a single-tooth implant. But, the details of your specific case will dictate the exact cost.

Dental Implant FAQs
Explore commonly asked dental implant questions from our Portland community. Can’t find your query? Reach out to us during our business hours.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are surgical fixtures placed into the jawbone, acting as a stable foundation for tooth replacements. Over time, they fuse with the bone, providing durability and a natural appearance, unlike traditional dentures or bridges.
How do dental implants benefit oral health?
Dental implants not only restore the aesthetics of your smile but also prevent jawbone deterioration, which can occur due to a missing tooth. They provide the necessary stimulation the jawbone requires, preventing loss of up to 25% of its volume within the first year of tooth loss.
Are dental implants painful?
No, the dental implant procedure is pain-free. Patients are anesthetized for comfort, and post-surgery, any discomfort can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 25 years or more, making them a durable solution compared to bridges or dentures which last between 5-10 years.
