What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone to support crowns, bridges or dentures. Implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth, making them a popular long-term option for tooth replacement. Patients often choose implants for their durability, comfort and natural appearance.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health and help determine whether dental implants are the right fit for your smile.

Types of Implants

• Single Tooth Implants: Replaces one missing tooth with a single implant and crown.
• Single Arch Implants: Replaces several teeth in the same upper or lower arch using multiple implants.
• Full Mouth Implants: Restores all teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw with a full set of implant-supported teeth.
• All-on-4 Implants: Uses four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth.
• Endosteal Implants: Titanium posts placed directly into the jawbone. Endosteal implants are the most common implant type.
• Subperiosteal Implants: Placed under the gum but above the jawbone for patients with low bone density.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dousman Family Dental works closely with trusted specialists to help patients restore function and confidence with dental implants. Benefits include:

• Comfort: Feels like a natural tooth without the irritation of removable partials or dentures.
• Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
• Strength: Doesn’t rely on surrounding teeth for support like traditional bridges or partials.
• Aesthetics: Designed to match your natural teeth and improve your smile.

Implants offer a stable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional dentures for many seniors and adults of all ages.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

Dental implant costs in Southeastern Wisconsin typically range from $4,500 to $6,500 per tooth, depending on your needs. Full mouth implants or multi-tooth restorations may cost significantly more. We’ll review pricing during your consultation and help you explore payment options.

Does Insurance Cover Dental Implants?

Some dental plans may cover parts of the implant process, like the crown or initial exam. Full coverage is less common. We accept most major insurances and help you understand your benefits before treatment begins.

The Dental Implants Procedure

Dental implant treatment follows a step-by-step process designed to support long-term success:

1. Consultation: We examine your oral health, review your medical history and determine whether implants are the right choice.
   
2. Referral: If you're a good candidate, we refer you to a trusted specialist for implant placement.
   
3. Tooth Removal (if needed): Any remaining damaged teeth are removed before treatment begins.
   
4. Healing Period: The implant site heals and the titanium post integrates with the jawbone, typically over 3 months.
   
5. Restoration: A custom crown, bridge or denture is placed over the implant for a natural, functional result. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants may be a great option if you have healthy gums, sufficient bone density and no unmanaged medical conditions. We’ll evaluate your oral and overall health during the consultation, including X-rays or scans if needed. Certain conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking, may affect healing and implant success.

Our team helps you understand what’s needed to move forward with treatment confidently.
