Dental Implants in Redmond, OR

Missing a tooth can affect more than the way your smile looks. It can make chewing more difficult, affect nearby teeth, and leave you feeling self-conscious. At Select Dental Care, we offer dental implants in Redmond, OR, as a long-term option to replace missing teeth and restore comfortable function.

We take the time to understand your oral health and goals before recommending treatment. If dental implants are appropriate for you, we’ll explain the process, what to expect, and any other options to consider.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth. A small implant post is placed into the jawbone, where it can integrate with the surrounding bone. Once healing is complete, the implant supports a dental restoration, such as a dental crown, bridge, or denture.

For patients missing several teeth, implants can also support bridges or dentures. Your treatment depends on how many teeth you’re replacing, your oral health, and the condition of your jawbone. We offer a range of dental implant options, including single-tooth implants, implant-supported restorations, and All-on-X solutions, depending on your needs and treatment goals.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants in Redmond, OR, can provide several benefits for eligible patients. Your dentist will assess your individual needs before determining whether implants are an appropriate option.

Restore Everyday Function

A dental implant can restore your ability to bite and chew more comfortably. Once your restoration is in place, it functions as part of your smile and can make everyday activities feel more natural.

Replace Missing Teeth Permanently

Unlike traditional removable dentures, an implant-supported restoration is anchored in place. This can provide stability and confidence when eating, speaking, and smiling.

Support Your Long-Term Smile

Replacing a missing tooth can help prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the space. Because the implant replaces the tooth root, it also stimulates the surrounding jawbone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental implant treatment usually takes several months because your jawbone needs time to heal and integrate with the implant before we place the final restoration. The exact timeline varies depending on your oral health, the number of teeth you replace, and whether you need additional treatment first.

What Happens First?

We begin with a comprehensive examination and appropriate digital imaging to assess your teeth, gums, and jawbone. We also discuss your goals, medical and dental history, and whether implants are suitable for your needs.

How Is the Implant Placed?

When you’re ready, we place the implant into your jawbone. At Select Dental Care, we use X-Nav® technology to support guided implant placement. This technology combines 3-D digital imaging with computer-guided planning to help us carefully plan the implant’s position.

After placement, the implant needs time to heal and integrate with the surrounding bone. This healing period is an important part of creating a stable foundation for your restoration.

When Do I Get My New Tooth?

Once the implant has healed sufficiently, we place the abutment and custom restoration. In some cases, you may need additional treatment, such as bone grafting or gum disease treatment, which can affect your overall timeline.

What to Expect During Dental Implant Treatment

Dental implant treatment typically takes place in several stages, and we guide you through each. We begin with a thorough exam and use appropriate digital imaging to assess your teeth, gums, and jawbone. We also discuss your medical and dental history, treatment goals, and whether an implant is a suitable option for you.

Guided Implant Placement with X-Nav®

When you’re ready for implant placement, we use X-Nav® technology to support precise, guided treatment. Using 3-D digital imaging and computer-guided planning, we carefully map the implant’s position before treatment. This helps us plan placement with accuracy and supports a more predictable approach.

We then surgically place the implant into the jawbone, where it needs time to heal and integrate with the surrounding bone. Once healing is complete, we place the abutment and custom restoration to complete your new tooth.

In some cases, you may need additional treatment before implant placement, such as bone grafting or treatment for gum disease. We explain what you can expect at every stage and answer your questions before treatment begins.

Caring for Your Dental Implant

Good oral hygiene remains important after implant treatment. You’ll need to brush and clean around your restoration as recommended and continue with regular dental exams. Although an implant itself cannot develop tooth decay, the surrounding gums and tissues can still develop problems. Maintaining healthy gums and keeping up with professional dental care helps protect your investment.

Is a Dental Implant Right for You?

Dental implants can be an excellent option for many people with missing teeth, but they aren’t right for everyone. We consider your overall oral health, jawbone, gums, medical history, and treatment goals before recommending an approach.

Testimonial

"I highly recommend Select Care Dental."

My first visit to Select Care Dental was a positive experience. I have been working out of the U.S. for many years where I was reluctant to visit local dentists. Consequently, I had not been to a trustworthy dentist in over five years. Dr. Anderson and his staff were up to the challenge, and they did an excellent job of getting me back on the road to good dental hygiene and assessing some urgent dental repair work that I needed. The dental office is clean, nicely appointed, and seems to have all of the latest dental equipment / technology. The office is easy to navigate to and they have ample parking. I highly recommend Select Care Dental.
