What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are designed to replace the roots of missing teeth, creating a permanent base for either full dentures or other types of prosthetics to be attached to. The implants are made from biocompatible titanium, which naturally fuses with the jawbone to provide it with sustained stimulation. It’s thanks to this unique process that dental implants are able to feel as lifelike as they look.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Consultation: Your journey will begin with a consultation with Dr. DeVries to see if dental implants are right for you. Our team will explain the treatment process to you and answer any questions you may have. If you have underlying health concerns, we also partner with medical providers to make sure any and all unique health factors are taken into consideration.
- Placement: We partner with local experts to place your dental implants and ensure the best results possible.
- Healing: After your dental implants have been placed, you will begin your healing process. Many patients are able to return to their typical routine within a few days; however, it takes between three and six months for your implants to fuse with your jawbone.
- Restoration: After osseointegration (jawbone fusion) has occurred, our team will have you come back in to secure your replacement teeth (whether that’s a denture, bridge, or crown) in your mouth and complete the process!

Who Dental Implants Can Help
Not every patient is ready for dental implants right away; however, Dr. DeVries can design a comprehensive plan to help you become a good candidate if that’s the case. We typically look at a patient’s jawbone density and oral health to determine whether the dental implant surgery will be successful. Those with underlying health concerns, such as conditions that impact the immune system, may benefit most from traditional dentures.
Whether you need implant dentures or you just want to restore one missing tooth, this versatile treatment can accommodate patients experiencing a wide range of tooth loss. To learn whether the treatment can help you, schedule a consultation with our team today.
