Dental Implants

What is your smile saying about you? If you are missing a tooth, multiple teeth, or suffer from severe damage or decay, it’s probably not sending the message you want it to and may even result in anxiety or embarrassment. Our compassionate Dupont Family Dentistry team understands, and we have a solution for you with dental implants. We perform dental implant restoration in-house.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are tooth root replacements that are surgically implanted into the jawbone, and used to anchor a replacement tooth, bridge, or dentures. Dental implants are permanent solutions to missing, damaged, or decayed teeth. Not only are dental implants a fantastic cosmetic solution to improve the appearance of your smile, but they have numerous benefits to your oral and overall health, and allow you to get back to living your life.

What are the benefits of Dental Implants?

Benefits of dental implants include:

  • Long-lasting results
  • Unmatched stability
  • Support dental bridges & fixed dentures
  • No cutting down of healthy teeth
  • Preservation of underlying jawbone
  • Preservation of facial structure
  • Normal speech & eating ability
  • Look & feel just like natural teeth
  • Comfortable
  • Regain confidence


Our Dental Implant Options

Dental implants are the #1 most popular tooth replacement option among doctors and patients alike. They are permanent restorations with the ability to regenerate a new tooth root, and are cared for just like natural teeth, so there are no dietary restrictions. Dupont Family Dentistry offers several different implant options in addition to traditional single-tooth implants. All implant procedures are performed here in our office, so there is no need for multiple treatment locations or outside doctors.

All-on-4®

The term All-on-4® refers to “all” teeth being supported “on four” dental implants—a procedure that is meant to replace all the teeth, whether they are missing completely or severely compromised by disease or other conditions. The four implants support a fixed prosthesis with 10-14 teeth that is placed immediately, typically within 24 hours of surgery.

If you are suffering from broken, decayed, or missing teeth, dental implants from Dupont Family Dentistry might be a good option for you.
