Are missing, damaged, or decayed teeth making you self-conscious or affecting your ability to eat and speak? Missing and unsalvageable teeth can lead to many issues, such as difficulty chewing, changes in facial shape, and even bone loss in the jaw. Dental implants offer a lasting solution to these problems!
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root of titanium placed into your jawbone. It has three parts: the post, which is surgically implanted into the jawbone; the abutment, which provides a stable connection; and the crown or prosthesis, which replaces the visible portion of your teeth. With our Teeth Tomorrow protocol, Dr. John Walker can transform your smile and your life in just one day with a proven track record for successful, affordable dental implants in Las Vegas, NV.
If you’re missing one tooth or individual teeth in separate areas, a single dental implant is as close as it gets to having a healthy natural tooth again. Dr. Walker can place a single implant post and individual crown that will blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Unlike a traditional dental bridge, a dental implant doesn’t require placing crowns on neighboring teeth, making it a conservative approach that preserves as much healthy enamel as possible. Your dental implant will also relieve excess strain on the surrounding teeth, which can lead to shifting, wear, and even cracks.
We can replace multiple teeth in a row with a durable dental bridge anchored to as few as two implant posts. A bridge is a single restoration crafted to have the appearance and function of several individual teeth. Implant-supported bridges can last decades longer than traditional bridges. Unlike a partial denture, they also restore full function to your bite.
Do you wish there was a way to ensure your denture didn’t slip, shift, or rub and cause sores? Snap-in dentures offer the versatility of a removable prosthesis with the enhanced stability of dental implants. You’ll be able to eat a wider variety of food comfortably and never need uncomfortable adhesives to hold your teeth in place.
Full mouth dental implants are a comprehensive solution for replacing all the teeth in the upper and lower jaw, providing a stable and long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures. This procedure involves placing multiple implants that support a full arch of prosthetic teeth, restoring both functionality and aesthetics to the smile. Full mouth implants offer a natural look and feel, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Using our Teeth Tomorrow protocol, you’ll have a brand-new smile in just one day.
Your path to renewed oral health begins with a consultation. We want to understand what led to your current oral health struggles and your goals for your renewed smile. We will discuss your medical history and perform a complete oral health exam. We will collect detailed diagnostics and digital X-rays and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique situation. This step ensures your dental implant selection is the best solution.
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Walker will make a small incision in the gums to access the underlying bone and place your implant posts. Depending on your unique needs, you may require preliminary procedures, such as bone grafting or extraction, to remove unsalvageable teeth or build a better foundation for your implants. We will then insert each implant post into your jawbone at an angle to ensure optimal support.
Once your implants are in place, we will attach an abutment connector and set your temporary teeth on top. With our Teeth Tomorrow protocol, we can deliver lightweight restorations for full mouth dental implants within 24 hours of your surgery so you can enjoy your normal routine while your implants heal!
After your procedure, our team will help you set up a follow-up appointment to check your progress. This visit ensures that everything is healing correctly and that your temporary teeth are comfortable. It also allows us to make necessary adjustments to prevent problems that compromise our healing.
Over the next several weeks, your implant posts will fuse with your jawbone during osseointegration, which is what gives dental implants their unbeatable function and strength. Once your implant posts have achieved complete stability, you’ll return to our practice for your final restoration. This final set of teeth is crafted from the highest-quality material and designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. With routine checkups and proper at-home care, your implants and restoration can last the rest of your life!
