Start Your New Dental Journey with Our Dental Implants in Meridian
If you’re missing one or more teeth, it’s time to reclaim your confidence and restore full functionality to your smile with dental implants in Meridian ID. At our practice, Dr. Fred Stillings specializes in implant dentistry that blends cutting-edge technology with personalized care to provide you with a long-lasting, natural-looking solution. Dental implants are widely regarded by both dentists and patients as the gold standard in tooth replacement. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants offer unmatched durability, stability, and aesthetics. When properly maintained, implants can last a lifetime — making them a smart, long-term investment in your oral health.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial roots for replacement teeth. Over time, these biocompatible posts naturally fuse with your bone through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, they provide a strong, permanent foundation for a custom dental crown that looks and functions just like a natural tooth. At our office, we tailor each implant to blend seamlessly into your smile. Every crown is custom-crafted to match the exact shade, shape, and size of your existing teeth for a flawless result. Whether you need to replace a single missing tooth or several, our dental implants in Meridian ID can restore your smile without compromising the integrity of your surrounding healthy teeth.
Advantages of Choosing Dental Implants
Patients love dental implants for many reasons, including:
- A completely natural look and feel
- Superior strength and durability
- Permanent, non-removable solution
- Designed to last a lifetime with proper care
Considerations Before Getting Implants
While dental implants are an excellent option for many patients, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- The initial cost is higher than other restorations, but they are a lifetime investment
- The process requires multiple appointments and healing time
- Although rare, surgical complications are possible and should be discussed beforehand
Types of Dental Implants We Offer
Dr. Stillings will work with you to determine the ideal type of implant based on your jaw structure, bone density, and individual dental needs. The three main types include:
1. Root Form Implants
The most common type, this implant is shaped like a tooth root and is ideal for patients with adequate bone structure.
2. Plate Form Implants
Designed for patients with narrow jawbones, this implant has a longer, flatter shape that provides a secure fit in tighter spaces.
3. Subperiosteal Implants
If your bone density is insufficient for traditional implants, this option rests on top of the jawbone but beneath the gum tissue, offering a viable solution for more complex cases.
