Why Choose Implants in Cottonwood Heights UT?

What makes implants so special is that, unlike a bridge, they don’t require altering the healthy teeth next to the missing one. The implant itself acts like a new tooth root, creating a strong and lasting foundation for a beautiful crown that blends seamlessly with your smile.

In some cases, we may recommend working with a trusted oral surgeon to place the implant, but we’ll be with you every step of the way—educating and guiding you through the entire process to ensure the best possible outcome.

Replacing a tooth with an implant can take time, but it’s truly remarkable how far implant technology has come. When you think about how long it takes for a natural tooth to come in, the ability to restore one with such precision and beauty is incredible.

Here’s a general idea of what to expect:

• If the tooth still needs to be removed, it can take about a year from start to finish before your new tooth is in place.
• If you’re already missing the tooth and have enough healthy bone in the area, we may be able to place the implant and complete the restoration in about 4 to 6 months.

Some of the biggest benefits of dental implants include:

• A natural look and feel—you may even forget it’s not your real tooth!
• Improved comfort and function when chewing.
• Long-lasting durability with proper care.
• Prevention of bone loss in the area where the tooth is missing.

We love seeing how implants can change lives, and we’d be honored to help you explore whether they’re the right option for you. Let’s work together to restore your smile—strong, confident, and uniquely yours.
