Hillsboro dental implants are the best tooth-replacement solution for patients with one or more missing teeth. They are more comfortable and attractive than traditional prosthetics, and they are designed to last for up to several decades. However, they do cost more upfront than other tooth replacement options, including bridges and dentures. Our Hillsboro implant dentist will outline the cost-determining details of your plan during a consultation, as well as discuss your financing options.

Hillsboro Dental Implants: Restoring Your Smile with Confidence

During your first appointment, our team will examine your jawbone structure to determine whether you have sufficient bone mass for implants. If necessary, we will recommend preliminary treatments like gum disease therapy or a bone graft to build up your jawbone density before proceeding with the surgery.

After placing your dental implants, you will need to wait for them to heal. During this time, you will typically eat only soft foods to prevent damaging your new restorations. Once your jawbone is healed enough, we will attach an abutment to the implant. This connector piece is necessary to ensure that your restorations are attached securely and will not become dislodged.

After the abutment has been placed, we will create a custom crown, bridge, or denture to restore your missing teeth. We use all ceramic materials that mimic the look of natural teeth and blend in with your smile, making it nearly impossible for others to tell where your replacements end and your natural teeth begin. Because dental implants stimulate blood flow and prevent bone deterioration, they also help preserve your youthful appearance for years to come.
