Dental Implant FAQs

What is a dental implant procedure?

A dental implant is a dental replacement tooth option for missing teeth. It’s a titanium post that is surgically placed by our dentists where your teeth are missing. A natural-looking replacement tooth is then placed on top as a crown, or used to support a bridge. Depending on your needs, we may recommend a crown, a bridge, or implant-supported dentures—options that can be customized to your needs.

Are you a good candidate for dental implants?

If you have a tooth that cannot be saved or you are living with missing teeth, our dentist and team can help you determine whether dental implants are the right solution for your needs. During your consultation, we review your dental and medical health, take advanced 3D imaging, and evaluate your jawbone and bone levels to plan safe placement and quality results. Even if you have gum concerns, certain health conditions, or have worn dentures for years, you may still qualify—your treatment plan may simply include additional steps to support long-term care and predictable outcomes. This appointment is also a helpful time to talk about how you want your new teeth to look and feel so your replacement tooth and final smile match your goals and feel natural.

What can I expect during treatment and recovery?

Dental implants are completed in stages. After the post is surgically placed, the area needs time to heal before the final tooth is attached, and your dentist will explain what happens at each visit and the expected time for each step of the procedure. Many patients return to normal routines the same day with clear after-care support, and our team focuses on keeping you comfortable throughout surgery and treatment. Once your crown, bridge, or implant-supported dentures are complete, ongoing dental care is important to protect oral health: daily cleaning at home and regular dental visit intervals help support the health of the implants and surrounding teeth. This will ensure you keep your smile healthy and attractive.

Why do I need dental implants?

When natural teeth are lost, your jawbone weakens and loses the ability to chew properly, which can affect health over time. Your face shape and smile may also change, which can impact confidence. That’s why dental implants are your smile saver, helping patients feel like themselves again. They not only restore your physical appearance, but also provide complete restorative support for oral health. Dental implants also support the bone and help protect long-term oral health, so patients can feel comfortable and regain confidence with a natural look.

“I drive almost 90 minutes to get to Grand Dentistry for every visit. The quality of their care makes the drive worthwhile. The dentists and staff are excellent!”
- Jim Szeyller

“I've been coming to Grand Dentistry for 15+ years. They make you feel like family right when you walk in. Dr. Bonar and Dr. Basso are so kind and such great listeners so you feel comfortable and relaxed. I love it here! Marlene is my hygienist and I love her. She is so gentle and thorough. When she's finished I know my teeth are sparkling clean. I don't trust my teeth with anyone else!”
- Shauna Rau

“Grand Dentistry has ALWAYS been top-notch.  Their people are all very friendly and personable.  I just had my teeth cleaned and Sonia is a joy to be with. She did a great job with the least amount of pain (I don't know about you but I've through lots of pain when I've had my teeth cleaned at other dental offices). They've been our dental office for many years and we'll never go anywhere else.
- Cameron Matthews

“I just switched to this dentist and this office has everything I have been looking for from the high tech equipment to the staff. They are very nice, professional and down to earth people. I felt very comfortable and not nervous as I usually do when I go to the dentist. This is going to be my new dentist for many years to come.”
- Mary Methot

“The entire staff, from front desk to dentists (including techs) is amazing. They are kind and friendly. I am terrified of dental work, and EVERYONE in the office is understanding and helpful. I have had previous dentists who shame or ridicule me for my fear, but not this place! Dr. Basso listens to my fears, and he works hard to make me feel safe. This place has helped me to come so far in reducing my fears!”
- Tamminy Fisk

“My husband & I have been going to Grand Dentistry for 2 years! The office staff is beyond amazing! Very friendly and accommodating. We both go to Dr. Basso - he is great! We definitely recommend this office to everyone.”
- Ashley Daoud
