Implant Dentistry

It is not uncommon for patients to suffer tooth loss as they age. At our West Des Moines office, serving the Greater Des Moines area, we provide exceptional restorations of dental implants to those who are seeking replacement teeth that look and feel like their natural teeth. We realize missing teeth can impair a person's ability to perform everyday functions such as speaking and eating. In the first stage of the dental implant procedure, we will schedule an implant consultation to take the appropriate xrays, diagnostic impressions to make a surgical guide, and often pre-op photographs. We will then schedule the implant placement appointment where the titanium implant will be placed into the patient's jawbone. After the implant has naturally integrated (fused) with the surrounding bone, we will then fabricate replacement teeth that are securely placed on the titanium implants.

With our skilled cosmetic ceramicists and lab technicians, we are able to discuss with you the cosmetic goals you have for your new smile. We can then tailor the look of your smile to meet your specific needs, aesthetically matching your facial structure. Dental implants last for many years. Our patients often find the permanence of dental implants to be comforting. Dental implants, simply feel more like their real teeth because they are not removable and are completely integrated into their jawbone.
