We enjoy replacing teeth with dental implants in our dentist office in Salt Lake City and consider them an excellent treatment for restoring your smile. A dental implant is a predictable way to replace missing teeth without damaging other teeth.
It involves placing a titanium screw that is carefully inserted into the jawbone. It is then used to support a single permanent restoration, or a denture, or an entire mouth of new beautiful permanent teeth. Dental implants can look very natural and function like your real teeth.
Dental implants are made from the same materials as most hip and knee replacements. Titanium is among the most biocompatible materials that exist. There are some risks associated with dental implants, but in the hands of an experienced dentist, those risks are minimal. The dentists at Legacy Dental have placed and restored hundreds of dental implants and taken many hours of continuing education in implant dentistry.
With proper care, your dental implant post will last your lifetime. It’s a wise investment!
Although more expensive upfront than alternatives, implants last longer and require less maintenance.
Implants prevent bone loss caused by missing teeth, which also prevents premature aging.
Replacing a missing tooth avoids issues like adjacent teeth shifting or bite discomfort.
Finally, enjoy your favorite foods again! Implants are designed to withstand the pressures and motions of chewing.
Your end result will blend seamlessly with your natural teeth so that no one will notice.
‘‘The entire office at Legacy Dental are polite and respectful, and make your whole experience easy and delightful! I trust them all impeccably and can’t think of any other dentist office that has this high level of professionalism, respect, and care for their patients! I highly recommend them.’’
At your first appointment, we’ll have a consultation together to determine your wants and needs. Together, we can discuss the options you might consider for tooth replacement.
This visit is all about planning the specifics of your care. We’ll take a 3D x-ray and digital scan of your teeth. This will allow us to evaluate the exact amount of bone available and plan the exact position of the dental implant.
At the next appointment, your dental implants are placed. Some patients choose sedation dentistry for this appointment. However, the placement of the dental implant feels similar to other routine dental procedures, and many prefer only local anesthetic. Often a tooth or denture is placed on the dental implant immediately after it has been placed.
The dental implant is then allowed to heal for a few months. After that, final impressions are made, and the permanent teeth or dentures are fabricated and attached to the dental implants. The whole implant process from start to finish usually takes three to six months.
When contemplating dental implants in Salt Lake City, it is essential to find the right dentist for you. A competent dentist will identify if you are a candidate for implant dentistry and whether it is the ideal option for you.
Dr. Campbell and our team of experienced dentists can provide a second opinion if you’re unsure about a previous consultation. We’re happy to answer any questions and will spend time explaining the implant procedure.

This can be a little tricky as dental implants can be used in so many different ways. Also, sometimes additional procedures are needed to place and restore the dental implant properly. There are many payment options available to make dental implants fit your budget. We’ll give you a quote before starting any procedures.
