Dental Implants

The gold standard for replacing missing teeth — permanent, natural-looking, and built to last a lifetime.

What Are Dental Implants?

A permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to create a restoration that is virtually indistinguishable from a natural tooth.

Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are a standalone solution that does not rely on neighboring teeth for support. They preserve your jawbone, maintain your facial structure, and allow you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.

At Kings Dental, our team has the training and experience to handle everything from single-tooth implants to full-arch restorations, right here in our Cincinnati and Mason offices.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Why dental implants are the preferred choice for tooth replacement.

Natural Appearance

Custom-crafted crowns match the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth for a seamless smile.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term investment.

Preserves Jawbone

Implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural roots, preventing the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth.

Full Functionality

Eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and live without the limitations that come with dentures or gaps.

Protects Adjacent Teeth

Unlike bridges, implants do not require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth for support.

Improved Confidence

Smile, laugh, and socialize without worrying about slipping dentures or visible gaps in your smile.

The Dental Implant Process

From consultation to your final restoration, here is what to expect at each stage.

1

Consultation & Treatment Planning

Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination, including digital X-rays and a 3D scan of your jaw. We evaluate your oral health, bone density, and overall candidacy for implants. Together, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals and budget.

2

Implant Placement

The titanium implant post is precisely placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Local anesthesia ensures your complete comfort. If needed, bone grafting may be performed at this stage to ensure a solid foundation for the implant.

3

Healing & Osseointegration

Over the next 3-6 months, the implant fuses with your natural jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates an incredibly strong and stable anchor for your new tooth. A temporary restoration may be provided during this period so you can smile confidently.

4

Final Restoration

Once the implant has fully integrated, an abutment is attached and a custom-made crown is placed on top. The crown is carefully matched to the color and shape of your surrounding teeth, giving you a beautiful, functional smile that looks completely natural.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about dental implants.

How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant post itself is designed to fuse permanently with your jawbone. The crown on top may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report that the procedure is less painful than they expected. Local anesthesia is used during placement, and most discomfort afterward can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Our team ensures your comfort throughout the entire process.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants needed, whether bone grafting is required, and the type of restoration. We offer financing through Cherry Financing and accept most dental insurance plans. Contact us for a personalized consultation and cost estimate.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good general health are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have sufficient jawbone density, healthy gums, and do not have uncontrolled chronic conditions. A consultation with our team will determine if implants are right for you.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The entire process typically takes 3-6 months from initial placement to final restoration. This includes time for the implant to fuse with your jawbone (osseointegration). Some cases may qualify for same-day implants where a temporary crown is placed immediately.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a success rate of approximately 95-98% when placed by experienced professionals. At Kings Dental, our team has extensive training in implant dentistry to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Can dental implants replace multiple teeth?
Yes. Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch. Options include individual implants, implant-supported bridges, and implant-supported dentures (such as All-on-4), depending on your needs.
How do I care for dental implants?
Dental implants are cared for just like natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss daily, and visit your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings. Avoiding tobacco and maintaining good oral hygiene will help ensure the longevity of your implants.
