What are dental implants?
An implant is the part that becomes the new root of your replacement teeth. Dental implants are created from titanium or other biocompatible materials. Like a natural root, the implant is surgically positioned in the jawbone. Over time, the implant fixture fuses with the surrounding bone naturally. Once this process is complete, the implant provides a strong foundation for the crown.
Since the replacement tooth is attached to the implant, it’s stable when eating or talking. No other form of tooth replacement replaces the roots of the teeth. So, this unique design provides many unique benefits over conventional forms of tooth replacement.
Can implants replace more than one tooth?
Yes! Dental implants can replace several or even all teeth in the upper or lower dental arch(s). The dentist places dental implants strategically in the jawbone to secure a dental bridge, partial, or complete denture. With modern implant systems and techniques, Dr. Warring can minimize the number of implants required to replace several missing teeth. This innovative design ensures a more comfortable experience and reduces the total cost of treatment.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Losing a tooth affects your quality of life, diminishing how you eat, smile, and talk. Dental implants are more than a tooth replacement. They help you reclaim your smile and life!
Here are the many benefits of dental implants:
- Stability: Dental implants are anchored directly in the jawbone, providing ultimate stability when eating or talking. No more worrying about embarrassing slips when using your teeth!
- Natural aesthetics: Dr. Warring restores your dental implant with a restoration that closely matches your natural teeth. The results are so natural that no one will know you have replacement teeth.
- Enhanced oral function: Dental implants restore your full chewing power, ensuring you eat all your favorite foods. You are no longer restricted to soft, easy-to-chew foods.
- Jawbone preservation: Dental implants don’t just replace the “crown” part of your tooth—they also replace the root. Like your natural teeth, a dental implant stimulates your jawbone when chewing or biting, stimulating bone regeneration to maintain your jawbone’s health and stability.
- Long-term fix: Dental implants last many decades—possibly a lifetime—providing a long-term solution for missing teeth.
The success of dental implants depends on careful planning and placement. With dental implants, Dr. Warring combines advanced technology with years of experience to achieve optimum function, comfort, and aesthetics.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.
