Change Your Life With Dental Implants
Are you struggling with oral health concerns such as missing, failing, or decayed teeth? Failing oral health can not only open up other avenues for more severe dental concerns but also cause a decline in your self-confidence. If you feel your smile isn’t living up to its potential, we have a modern solution for you.
Our full mouth dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth while restoring balance and health to your smile. Dr. Nathan Doyel and Dr. Ben Aanderud, Dental Implant Specialists, make it a regular standard of care here at New Smiles to restore missing teeth and craft completely customized smiles by using some of the top technology dentistry has to offer.
Dental implants help not only bring back your smile but also bring back the best version of it!

The Basics
of Dental Implants
Dental Implants only require three basic components: a post, an abutment and a restoration.
Dental implants provide jawbone support and a stable foundation for a single dental crown, a dental bridge, implant supported dentures, and even a full arch prosthesis. Implants are secured into the jawbone to provide a solid, stable foundation for your final restoration to sit on, so you can enjoy daily activities such as chewing, talking, and smiling without any worry that your teeth may shift or fall out.
Placing dental implants into the jawbone limits bone recession and preserves facial appearance by avoiding sunken cheekbones and premature aging.
With our in-house dental technology and the expertise of our dentists, you can enjoy the life-long benefits of dental implants!

Our Dental Implant Treatment Process
At New Smiles, we provide top-tier care, high-quality materials, and vast knowledge and expertise in every patient appointment. For dental implant procedures, our Implant Specialists begin with a thorough consultation to assess the state of your current oral health. Our doctors complete a full examination, obtain 3-D x-rays, discuss your medical history and present all your treatment options.
Together we’ll decide on a treatment that aligns with your smile goals. Whether you are having a single implant or full mouth implants placed, our implant team will gather additional records, such as “Before” photos and a digital scan. We will then design your smile and a surgical guide, which will ensure every part of your surgery is precise, predictable, and error-free.
For single implants, the surgery is relatively straightforward, lasting under an hour and requiring only a local anesthetic. You may drive yourself home. The site may be slightly tender, but you may return to your daily routine the next day. We wait for the integration of the implant into your bone while you avoid eating on the implant site. You will then return for the final restoration (crown) and be able to chew normally.
For full mouth implants, the surgery is longer than a single implant and requires sedation provided on site. You will need a driver to and from your appointment. There may be some swelling and stiffness in the jaw, but you will leave with a post-op care packet and most importantly, a beautiful set of customized temporary teeth—your NEW SMILE! You can use your brand new smile (with soft foods!) for the first several months as your mouth heals. During this time, your jaw will go through a process called osseointegration, meaning your dental implants will fuse with your jawbone. You will have several follow-up visits to ensure you are healing as planned. Once healing is complete, our Implant Dentists will attach your custom-designed final set of teeth, made of a quality, long-lasting zirconia material. The final teeth will allow you to fully function and enjoy a confident smile that truly lasts a lifetime.
