Dental Implants at Port Road Dental
Dental implants are a modern way to replace missing teeth with results that look natural and feel secure. At Port Road Dental in Fox Point, Wisconsin, we use careful planning, advanced imaging, and custom restorations to rebuild your smile so you can chew comfortably and smile with confidence again.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed in the jawbone to act like a tooth root. Once the implant fuses with the bone, it can support a custom crown, bridge, or denture. Because implants sit securely in the jaw, they help preserve bone, protect neighboring teeth, and provide a strong, stable foundation for your new smile.
Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
Implants offer many advantages compared with traditional bridges or removable dentures.
- Look and feel like natural teeth Each restoration is custom-made to match your bite, shape, and tooth color.
- Protect your jawbone and facial shape Implants stimulate the jawbone and help prevent the sunken look that can happen after tooth loss.
- Stay firmly in place Enjoy eating, laughing, and speaking without worrying about slipping dentures or removable appliances.
- Long-lasting investment in your health With good home care and regular checkups, dental implants can last for many years.
What to Expect from the Implant Process
We will walk you through each step so you know what to expect and feel comfortable with your care.
- Comprehensive exam and 3D imaging to review your bone health, gums, and overall oral condition.
- Personalized treatment planning to decide how many implants you need and what type of restoration will work best.
- Comfort-focused implant placement using gentle anesthesia and clear aftercare instructions for smooth healing.
- Healing period to allow the implant to fuse with your jawbone for a strong, stable foundation.
- Placement of a custom crown, bridge, or implant denture designed to fit your bite and blend with your smile.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Many adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. Healthy gums, adequate bone support, and good overall health are important factors. Even if you have worn dentures for years or have been told you have bone loss, you may still qualify with the help of grafting or other supportive procedures. During your consultation, we will review your medical history, take detailed images, and discuss all of your options.
Our team will also review your insurance benefits and go over the expected costs before treatment begins. We can discuss payment plans or financing options to make care more manageable. If you are interested in dental implants, contact Port Road Dental to schedule a personalized consultation and learn whether this treatment is right for you.
Dental Implants: Frequently Asked Questions
- Are dental implants painful?
- Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure feels. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to keep you relaxed. You may notice mild soreness or swelling afterward, but this is usually managed with over-the-counter pain relief and improves over a few days.
- How long does it take to get a dental implant?
- The full process can take several months, depending on your healing and whether any additional procedures are needed. After the implant is placed, it typically takes a few months for it to fuse with the bone before the final crown, bridge, or denture is attached.
- How long do dental implants last?
- With good brushing and flossing habits and regular checkups, dental implants are designed to last many years. The crown or restoration on top may need to be replaced over time due to normal wear, but the implant post itself can often last decades.
- What if I am missing several or all of my teeth?
- Dental implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth in a row, or support an entire arch of teeth. Implant-supported bridges and dentures provide added stability compared with traditional removable dentures.
- What if I do not have enough bone for an implant?
- If you have had missing teeth for a long time, you may have some bone loss. In many cases, bone grafting or other supportive procedures can rebuild the area so an implant can still be placed. We will review this with you during your exam.
- How do I care for dental implants?
- Implants should be brushed and flossed just like natural teeth. Regular professional cleanings and exams at Port Road Dental help keep the surrounding gums and bone healthy so your implants remain stable.
- Are dental implants covered by insurance?
- Coverage varies by plan. Some insurance policies may help with portions of the procedure, such as the crown or extraction. Our team will review your benefits, provide an estimate before treatment, and help you understand your out-of-pocket costs.
- Can I eat normally with dental implants?
- Once your implant has healed and your final restoration is placed, you should be able to enjoy most of the foods you love again. We may recommend softer foods during the initial healing phase, but long term, implants are designed for comfortable, confident chewing.
- How do I know if dental implants are right for me?
- The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation. We will examine your mouth, review your health history, and discuss your goals so we can recommend whether dental implants or another solution will best meet your needs.
