Dental Implants Portland OR


a man with dental implants smiling Hunter Dental Care in Portland, ORDental implants have revolutionized restorative dentistry, offering a durable solution for replacing missing teeth.

If you are interested in getting dental implants, you may have many questions.

Our team and dentists here at Hunter Dental Care are ready to provide you with proper care, a healthy mouth, and a confident smile.

Who Needs A Dental Implant?


Many of our patients are good candidates for dental implants.

Anyone from teens to our older patients can make use of this method of replacing lost teeth.

However, you do need to be in good health.

If you have been suffering from gum disease, we will need to determine how to treat that condition first.

In some cases, we may also need to do a bone grafting procedure to build up your jawbone.

If you have lost too much mass in the jaw bone, it will not be able to support the titanium posts used in implants.

Why Choose Dental Implants


Both implants and dentures serve the same purpose: they replace lost or missing teeth.

However, dental implants have a number of benefits over other options such as dentures or dental bridges.

You do not have to remove them.

To clean them, you brush and floss existing teeth as you normally would.

Implants are permanent and very durable, so many people see them as the better option.

Single and Multiple Tooth Replacement with Dental Implants


You can get a single implant to replace a missing tooth among natural teeth, or if you are missing multiple or all of your teeth, other implant options are available to you!

The All-on-4® Treatment Concept is an implant option that allows us to easily place implants for all of your top or bottom teeth using only four titanium posts for each implant set.

How Long Does It Take To Get Dental Implants?


The amount of time it takes to place dental implants depends on a few factors.

Bone Grafting for Implants


If you require bone grafting to build up the mass in your lower jaw, that procedure will need to be done first.

It can take several months for the grafted bone to fuse properly.

Once that has occurred, we can place the titanium posts.

For some, those posts will need to be placed and integrated into the bone before we can put your permanent crowns on.

In other instances, we may be able to do same-day dental implants. It all depends on your unique oral health conditions and other factors.

Dental Implant Procedure


The procedure begins with a first visit and detailed consultation with your dentist or oral surgeon.

Your oral health is assessed through advanced imaging evaluation techniques.


This ensures a personalized treatment and support plan tailored to your unique needs.

The dental implant itself, a titanium post, is precisely placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia.

This phase is crucial, as the tooth post acts as a new root for the tooth, integrating with the bone through a process called osseointegration.

After this healing period, which may last a few months, an abutment is attached to the post.

The final restoration, a custom-made crown is fixed onto the implant abutment, completing the placement of the implant and restoring the natural look and function of your teeth.
