Dental Implants in Maple Grove, MN
Imagine the disappointment of not getting to order your favorite item on the menu because you’re unable to comfortably chew your food. This is only one of the considerations you have to make when you’re living with a missing or compromised tooth.
Tooth loss is devastating in so many ways. It makes chewing and eating food uncomfortable and may also make you self-conscious about gaps in your smile when you meet someone new.
Losing a tooth also contributes to many unseen issues, such as bone loss. When you lose a tooth, you also lose its root, which leaves your jawbone with nothing left to support it and keep it stimulated. Bone loss eliminates support for surrounding teeth and can even change the appearance of your face, making you look older than you are.
The good news is that dental implants in Maple Grove eliminate these concerns by replacing your tooth and root.

How Dental Implants Restore Your Smile
Tooth implants use three integral parts to replace your tooth:
- The implant — We carefully place the implant into your jawbone during a simple surgical procedure.
- The abutment — This attaches the implant to its custom restoration, which is a porcelain crown for a single tooth replacement or a bridge or denture to restore multiple missing teeth.
- The restoration — After the healing and integration process, our dentists will place your final restoration.
Since a dental implant is made of titanium, which is biocompatible, it can naturally heal and integrate with your bone over a period of time through a process called osseointegration. This typically takes three to six months; our dentists will monitor your healing process.
