A lasting way to replace missing teeth, planned around you.
A missing tooth affects more than the look of a smile. It can change how you chew and how the neighboring teeth share the work. Dental implants provide a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or larger restoration. At Bell Road Dentistry in Surprise, we begin with your goals and a careful evaluation, then explain whether implants belong in your plan.
An implant is placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth. The visible restoration is made to work with your bite and the appearance of your surrounding teeth. Replacing one tooth may call for an implant crown; several missing teeth may be addressed with an implant bridge or denture. We explain the alternatives, including a conventional bridge or removable option.
Dr. Nielsen reviews your oral health, remaining teeth, gums, medical history, and available bone. CBCT imaging can provide a three-dimensional view when it is appropriate for planning. Some patients may need additional treatment or a specialist referral before an implant can be placed. We will talk through stages, healing, timing, and costs before you commit.
The implant and bone need time to heal and integrate in many cases. A temporary tooth may be possible while the final restoration is being prepared. Immediate implant placement is an option for selected patients, but it is never a promise made before an exam. We explain maintenance too: daily cleaning and regular visits help protect the implant and surrounding tissue.
A consultation starts with your goals, a health review, and an exam of the space you want to restore. Imaging may help us assess bone and plan the next steps. We will explain the expected timeline, care involved, and costs before treatment begins.
Request an appointmentThat depends on oral health, bone, medical history, and your goals. An exam and imaging give us the information to advise you.
Implants can support a single crown or help anchor a bridge or denture, depending on the case.
Timing varies with healing and the type of restoration. We give you an individual timeline after evaluation.
