Dental Implants at Westlake Dental Care

​

At Westlake Dental Care, we believe that a complete, healthy smile plays a vital role in your overall well-being. If you're missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a long-lasting and natural-looking solution. Our skilled team is committed to helping you restore both function and confidence with personalized, high-quality care.

 

What Are Dental Implants?

​​

Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant fuses with the bone—a process called osseointegration—a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to complete the restoration.

​

Implants offer many benefits, including:

​

• Exceptional stability and durability

• A natural look and feel

• Prevention of bone loss in the jaw

• Improved chewing and speech function

• No need to alter neighboring teeth, as with traditional bridges

• Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

• You may be a candidate for dental implants if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth

• Have sufficient bone density to support the implant

• Are free of active gum disease

• Are in good general health and can undergo minor oral surgery

 

We’ll perform a thorough evaluation during your consultation to determine if implants are right for you.

 

The Dental Implant Process

​

The dental implant procedure is completed in several stages:

​

1. Consultation & Treatment Planning

Your dentist will examine your mouth, review X-rays or 3D scans, and discuss your goals. A personalized treatment plan will be created based on your needs.

​

2. Implant Placement
Under local anesthesia, the titanium post is placed into the jawbone. Over the next few months, the implant integrates with the bone for a secure foundation.

​

3. Abutment Placement
Once healing is complete, a small connector (abutment) is attached to the implant. This will hold your final restoration in place.

​

4. Final Restoration
A custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture is created and securely attached to the abutment—restoring both the appearance and function of your smile.

​

Caring for Your Dental Implants

​

Caring for implants is just like caring for natural teeth. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are essential for long-term success. With proper care, dental implants can last for decades—or even a lifetime.
