Dental Implants Rogers
An Unmatched Answer to Tooth Loss
In the past, replacing missing teeth required the alteration of your healthy teeth, which could put patients at a higher risk of tooth loss down the road. Dental implants in Rogers have revolutionized the process of replacing missing teeth by restoring both their visible biting surfaces as well as the root structures to allow for free-standing, durable restorations. We invite you to learn more about dental implants, including whether you’re a good candidate for the procedure, by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Gammenthaler today.

What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that Dr. Gammenthaler surgically places beneath the gumline, like the roots of your missing teeth. Their biocompatible nature allows them to fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, which stimulates the bone and provides it with blood flow, keeping it from eroding over time. The implants also serve as an unmoving foundation for any type of restoration to be attached to, from a free-standing dental crown to replace one missing tooth to a dental bridge or entire denture.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Consultation: Your first appointment will be with Dr. Gammenthaler to discuss all of your tooth replacement options. After examining your mouth and oral and medical history, he will help determine whether you’re a good candidate for dental implant treatment and create a plan for you.
- Dental Implant Surgery: Once you decide to move forward with Dr. Gammenthaler’s proposed treatment plan, the next step will be the surgical placement of your dental implant(s).
- Healing Period: Over the next three to six months after your dental implant placement, you’ll undergo a healing period, and your dental implants will fuse with your jawbone. Then, our team will attach small metal connector pieces called abutments to the top of your implants. After your gums heal around the abutments, you’ll be ready for your final restoration.
- Attaching the Restorations: When our office receives your final dental restoration from our laboratory, we’ll have you come back in one last time to attach your replacement teeth to your dental implants.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are a top choice for replacing missing teeth because they offer numerous unique benefits that set them apart from traditional tooth replacement treatments. By restoring the root structure of your teeth, dental implants provide unparalleled strength, restoring up to 80 percent of your original bite power, as well as a realistic appearance. Additionally, due to the one-of-a-kind techniques used in this treatment, your dental implants can last for up to 35 years with good oral hygiene and professional maintenance.
