Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, with a success rate exceeding 95%. At Cochran Family Dental, Dr. Brian Cochran performs both the surgical placement and the restoration of dental implants in one office. According to the American Dental Association, over 5 million implants are placed each year in the United States.
Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime. Having your entire implant procedure handled by one dentist you trust means a more streamlined experience with fewer appointments.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Over 3-6 months, it fuses with the bone through osseointegration, then a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached.
Studies published in the Journal of Dental Research show a 10-year implant survival rate of 90-95%.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone like natural tooth roots, restore full chewing power with no food restrictions, do not require alteration of adjacent healthy teeth unlike bridges, offer a permanent long-term solution, and look and feel completely natural.
Who Is a Candidate?
Most adults with good general health and sufficient jawbone density are candidates. If you have experienced bone loss, Dr. Cochran is trained in bone preservation and ridge augmentation grafting techniques to build up bone to support an implant.
Implant Options
Single tooth implants replace individual missing teeth. Implant-supported bridges replace multiple adjacent missing teeth. Implant-supported dentures use two or more implants to secure a denture, eliminating slipping. Dental Bridges Denture
The Dental Implant Process
Your journey begins with a consultation including digital X-rays and a 3D scan. After implant placement under local anesthesia, a healing period of 3-6 months allows osseointegration. Then your custom restoration is placed.
