What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are tooth-replacement restorations attached to the jawbone to provide a permanent solution to missing teeth. Implant posts are titanium and surgically placed into the jaw. They serve as the root, and a prosthetic is added on top. The completed implant provides a permanent restoration that looks and feels natural. It is the most versatile and reliable solution as it replaces the whole tooth.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants provide a strong foundation for permanent and removable prosthetics, such as dentures. They also help prevent bone loss by restoring stimulation to your jaw, thus maintaining a youthful appearance and overall dental well-being. Other notable advantages include:

Durability: Implants function just like real teeth. With proper care, implants can last years, even a lifetime.
Improved Oral Health: Implants do not need to use remaining teeth for support, helping preserve more of your natural smile. This helps maintain your overall oral health.
Secure: Implants are the most stable option for tooth replacement as they fuse with your jawbone. They function just like real teeth and allow you to eat a varied diet.
Easy Care: Oral hygiene with implants is simple as they do not need special care.
Predictable: Dental implants often have a treatment success rate of up to 98% in healthy patients.

Who Qualifies for Dental Implants?

smiling african american woman Healthy adults with a missing tooth or teeth can get dental implants. However, there are a few conditions that you must meet for the procedure to be successful. First, your gums need to be healthy and in good condition. If you suffer from gum disease, we can treat it before you get implants. Optimal jawbone mass is necessary to support your implants. If your jawbone is weak, our nearby periodontist will likely perform a bone graft, or a sinus lift to increase bone density.

Before getting an implant, you should disclose any underlying health conditions to our team. This is because certain medical conditions like diabetes can increase the risk of complications. If you are missing teeth, our team will help you get the treatments you need to support optimal oral health.

Pre-Treatments for Successful Dental Implants

Sometimes, to get dental implants, pre-treatments are necessary. At Anderson Dental Care, we offer the following services to help increase your chances for successful treatment:

Gum Disease Treatment: Treating gum disease is essential. At Anderson Dental care, we use the Biolase® WaterLase Laser to address infection while providing you with better comfort, effective care, faster recovery, and healing time.

Extractions: We always aim to preserve your natural teeth as much as possible. However, extractions are necessary for removing teeth deemed unsavable due to severe damage, decay, or gum disease. We also use laser technology to improve the effectiveness of the treatment.

Bone Grafts: Our periodontist can perform a bone graft when your jawbone is too weak to hold implants. This procedure includes taking bone material from another area of your body or an artificial source and adding it into your jaw to improve bone mass.

Sinus Lifts: Our periodontist also performs sinus lifts when there is not enough space between your jawbone and your sinuses to place implants. This procedure also treats bone loss. New bone material is added to create efficient space and a strong foundation to support your implants.

The Dental Implant Placement Procedure Explained

3d render of dental implants After a complete exam and evaluation, Dr. Anderson works with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Procedure time depends on how many implants need placing and where.

We are part of an implant team. This means that Dr. Anderson works with a nearby periodontist for more complex dental implant placement. Your implant posts are surgically inserted into your jawbone with precision and skill. We use a 3D scanner and computer guided surgery to ensure your implants are placed for optimal success.

After placement, you take time to rest and allow for healing. This period is essential as it enables your implant to fuse with the jawbone to ensure stability. When recovery is complete, our dentist invites you back to place your new restoration to your implants.

Implant-Supported Restorations for Completing Your Smile

Implant-supported restorations are prosthetics that are secured in place by implants. In addition to replacing missing teeth, implant-supported restorations can fill large gaps or restore an entire dental arch. Our available solutions include:

Crowns for replacing a single missing tooth using one dental implant
Bridges for restoring several missing teeth in a row using two implants
Partial dentures for replacing multiple teeth throughout the smile
Full dentures for restoring all teeth lost in the upper or lower jaws, or both

These are great people who care about their patients. Steve will go above and beyond to make your experience great. Highly recommend Anderson Dental Care!

Richard L.

I have been a patient of Dr. Anderson, Steve, for many years even though I live over 70 miles away. His expertise, knowledge and personality, as well as his support staff make the drive well worth it.
I have tried out other dentists closer to home, and even though they were adequate, they lacked the overall qualities that I feel I receive from Anderson Dental.
The staff makes every effort to making an appointment that works within my schedule.

I highly recommend this team for any and all dental needs.

Anton S.

Very pleasant experience. I asked questions and the hygienist answered them well. Really liked that I recieved topical anesthetic before the cleaning, it helped with pain well. The hygienist was pleasant to talk to. The receptionist is delightful.

Richard T.

I took my five yr old daughter in for her very first visit and they had to cap a tooth. The whole process amazed me that there were no tears or fears what so ever! The entire staff were so nice and explained things very well. There was no pain for her afterwards and they even did a follow up phone call.
Anderson Dental care is the only place to go!

Best dental care around. Dr Anderson and his staff are always friendly, helpful, and personable. They treat you like family. They have the latest and greatest technology available. Dr Anderson always calls after treatments to check on how you are doing. It is so reassuring that when you call after hours, he will call you back personably. We truly appreciate Dr Anderson and his staff

Tracey K.

Thank you for your genuine concern and quick help for my husband. His chemo-infected mouth had kept him from eating and drinking for three weeks and resulted in high fevers and pain. Your staff got us in and worked on him on and off for a whole day! By the next morning his fever had gone down half, and his mouth stopped bleeding. By evening he could drink Ensure. The next morning his fever was normal, and he could eat oatmeal. You, Dr. Anderson, and your staff have been a blessing to us. Thank you for your gift of healing.

Gary & Sandy

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful work that you did on my teeth. I had been praying for a miracle, and God answered and sent me to you. I have never been treated so kindly, gently, or considerately by anyone in your profession. When you called me at home to check on me, I really understood what a truly remarkable person you are. I could never have imagined that I could have such pretty teeth! I am enjoying my new smile so much! I get lots of compliments on it and now, with my new promotion, I feel more confident and ready to face the future. You and your wonderful staff are surely angels in disguise. You have truly changed my life. And for that I am forever grateful.

Words cannot express how wonderful the staff and Dr. Anderson are. From my very first visit for a consultation for clear braces, I have felt at ease and confident in the level of care they provide. It is so refreshing to meet people in a professional setting that truly care about you and your goals from the moment they meet you! I cannot recommend them enough!!! My friends and family have heard my story over and over. You just cannot beat the care, service and level of comfort they provide. Thank you so much to all of the staff at Anderson Dental Care for making the road to my dream smile so easy.

Kevin & Peggy Jorgensen

I have definitely found my new dentist! After having issues with a tooth for some time and mentioning it to a number of friends, I was told to make an appointment with Dr. Anderson at Anderson Dental Care in Grand Island, NE. Considering the drive of roughly 90 miles round trip I procrastinated for months until I finally had to commit to making the appointment. Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted at the front desk by Shelley who made me feel like I had been to the practice before. I had a good time visiting and laughing with her. When it was my turn to be examined, Anita led me to the area and also made me feel extremely comfortable. Next Dr. Anderson was introduced and made me feel like a friend from way back! I was also very impressed when Dr. Anderson gave me a follow-up call that evening to make sure I was doing okay. My experience was amazing all the through the events of the appointment! My wife immediately made an appointment to get her teeth checked & cleaned! I would highly recommend Dr. Anderson and his entire staff for all of your dental needs!
