Dental Implant Surgery
No matter how many teeth you’re missing, dental implants are the “gold standard” solution. These permanent tooth replacements help restore your oral health, smile aesthetics, and dental function and do so for decades!
Our implant dentist Dr. Robert Palmer and our team at Velux Dental are experienced in providing dental implants in Salt Lake City, UT. We can help you achieve a new smile and quality of life with this life-changing and long-lasting solution.
A Closer Look To Dental Implants
Dental implants are made up of three parts—post, abutment, and restoration—that mimic the function of natural teeth. Secured in your jawbone, dental implants are one of the most preferred tooth replacements available, able to replace any number of missing teeth while also restoring function and aesthetics.
This permanent solution requires the precision of a skilled implant dentist and advanced surgical technology to optimize the outcomes of your treatment and its long-term success. Dr. Palmer routinely provides dental implant treatment across a variety of cases, leveraging state-of-the-art technologies and high-quality materials for best results.
In fact, he is particularly passionate about providing this life-changing treatment and strives to offer the most cutting-edge approaches to care. He’s done so for over 1,000 patients in our area! With our expertise, we can help you experience a life of health, function, and confidence with dental implants.
Our Dental Implant Treatment Process
Your dental implant treatment at Velux Dental is personalized to your specific oral health needs and smile goals. You’ll first complete a consultation with Dr. Palmer where we’ll discuss your dental and medical history, take digital x-rays, and create a custom treatment plan.
Next, you’ll undergo surgery, which may involve tooth extractions and bone grafting along with dental implant placement. We use fully guided techniques for all our surgeries to ensure an efficient procedure, with exact and predictable results. You’ll be resting comfortably under sedation and remain pain-free during your surgery.
In many cases, we’re able to attach a temporary tooth or set of teeth at this same appointment. As your mouth heals over the next three or more months, you’ll be able to eat comfortably and enjoy restored smile aesthetics until you receive your permanent, custom-made dental implant restoration.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants provide numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options. Unlike dental bridges, dental implants do not require healthy teeth to be present to support the restoration. Dental implants only need proper jawbone density to remain secure and strong, where they will in turn provide stimulation to keep the bone healthy.
Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanently secured in your jawbone and act like artificial tooth roots (implant posts). They are permanently fixed and stable enough to restore over 99% of natural biting and chewing power. For this reason, implants are one of the preferred solutions and virtually all patients who come see Dr. Palmer are candidates for dental implants.
