Dental Implants
How Do Dental Implants Work?
A dental implant acts as an artificial tooth root, surgically placed into the jawbone where it fuses with the bone.
Each dental implant consists of three parts: the implant post anchored in the jawbone, an abutment that extends above the gumline, and a dental prosthesis (such as a crown, bridge, or denture).
As shown in the animation to the right, a single dental implant can support a custom-made crown, providing a seamless replacement for a missing tooth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are widely regarded as the best solution for replacing a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or even a full dental arch. At our offices in Bountiful, Layton, Murray, and Lehi, our experienced dentists will create a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs. The titanium or ceramic implant posts closely mimic natural tooth roots and provide several long-lasting benefits, including:
Restored Functionality
Missing teeth can reduce functionality, making it difficult to eat and speak comfortably. Dental implants restore full function, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile confidently for years to come.
Prevent Bone Loss
Without the stimulation from tooth roots, the jawbone can begin to atrophy, leading to further tooth loss and visible signs of aging. Dental implants are the only restorative treatment that actively protects the jawbone from recession, helping maintain its structure and appearance.
Improved Appearance
Dental implants can fill the gaps left by missing teeth. Implants also help prevent jawbone recession and can help you maintain fuller and more youthful facial features.

Dental Implant Treatment Timeline
Planning Your Treatment
Visit one of our offices in Bountiful, Layton, Murray, or Lehi for a one-on-one consultation with an experienced implant dentist. During your initial consultation, you will discuss your medical and dental history with your dentist, and receive a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, jaw, and overall health.
Prerequisite Procedures
In some cases, patients may require a preparatory procedure before the implants can be placed. These treatments may include periodontal care for gum disease or bone grafting to rebuild lost tissue in the jaw.
Surgery & Implant Placement
During this initial surgery, the implant posts are anchored into the jawbone. The length of the oral surgery is usually about one hour if just one implant is placed and up to three hours when multiple implants are required. Compromised teeth can often be extracted and bone grafts can be placed at the same time that the implants are placed.
Healing Period
You may experience some minor side effects. These side effects are normal after implant placement and should subside within a few days. For traditional dental implant patients, it takes about four to six months for your jawbone to fuse with the implant posts in a process called osseointegration.
Placing Abutments
A second minor procedure is required to place an abutment on each implant. Recovery from this abutment surgery is typically about two weeks, giving the gums sufficient time to heal.
Implant Restoration
Once your recovery is complete, you will return to have your custom-made restoration placed, such as a crown. You will leave our office with full dental functionality and an attractive smile.
