The Permanent Solution for a Confident Smile
Missing teeth can affect your confidence, oral health, and quality of life, but with dental implants, you can restore
your smile permanently. At Teverbaugh Dental, we specialize in state-of-the-art implant dentistry, providing you
with a natural-looking, durable, and fully functional smile that lasts a lifetime.
Single Tooth Replacement
Ideal for replacing a missing tooth while preserving the health of surrounding teeth. A single dental implant consists of a titanium post that integrates with the jawbone and a custom-made crown designed to match your natural smile.
This solution restores function, appearance, and confidence—allowing you to eat, speak, and smile naturally without relying on adjacent teeth or removable options.
Best represented through clean, close-up imagery that highlights the natural look of the crown and seamless integration with the gum line.
Implant-Retained Removable Dentures
(overdentures) Use attachments like bars or locators to connect to dental implants. These provide improved retention and stability without being permanently fixed. Common configurations include two to four implants per arch.
Hybrid Dentures - Implant supported fixed dentures
(e.g., All‐on‐4/6) are screwed into implants and typically remain fixed, only removable by a clinician. These deliver enhanced functionality and preserve the jawbone/face structure.
How dental implants work
1. Implant Placement
The implant replaces the root of the damaged or missing tooth. It’s placed under the gum and into the bone. Through a process called “osseointegration,” the bone will grow around this
new implant.
This is a simple procedure that can be done right in your doctor’s office. Most people experience little or no discomfort during the process. Dental implant procedures generally are no more involved than other simple dental procedures.
2. Placement of the Abutment
Once your implant has integrated with your bone, your doctor will perform a second small procedure to uncover the implant and place a healing abutment.
After a few days, an impression is made and a temporary abutment is placed. An abutment acts as a connection between the implant and the crown and supports your temporary tooth while your permanent tooth is made.
3. Creating your new tooth
Your new, permanent tooth is created using dental titanium and ceramics to match the shape and color of your teeth. Your dentist will deliver your new restoration, allowing you to enjoy the foods you love and smile with confidence once again!
Dental implants are a permanent solution for tooth replacement
The implant replaces the root of your tooth, and a crown is bonded to an abutment that fits into the implant,
forming your new tooth. Implants can also be used to stabilize your dentures.
