Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a long-term, natural-looking solution that replaces missing teeth with stability and strength—letting you eat, speak, and smile without worry or discomfort. Unlike dentures, implants fuse with your jawbone to prevent bone loss and preserve your facial structure. They’re durable, reliable, and built to last with proper care.
Implants also improve your confidence and quality of life by restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile. Ready to restore your smile? Schedule your dental implant consultation today!

What to Expect from Your Dental Implant Procedure

Step 1: Consultation & Planning

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your oral health, including digital imaging to assess jawbone strength and confirm that dental implants are the right solution for you.

Step 2: Implant Placement

If needed, bone grafting is performed to strengthen the jaw. Once ready, we surgically place a titanium implant post into the jawbone to serve as your new tooth root.

Step 3: Healing

The implant heals over 2–6 months as it fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a secure foundation for your future restoration.

Step 4: Restoration & Final Smile

A custom crown is designed to match your natural teeth and securely attached to the implant, giving you a fully functional, permanent smile with lasting results.

Benefits Beyond the Procedure

Dental implants do more than restore your smile—they help maintain overall oral health. By preventing bone loss and supporting adjacent teeth, implants preserve the natural alignment of your bite and reduce the risk of future dental issues. They also eliminate the need for removable appliances and allow you to eat your favorite foods without restriction.
In addition to functional advantages, implants enhance your self-esteem and speech clarity. You’ll feel more confident in social settings and won’t worry about slipping dentures or dietary limitations. With proper care, dental implants offer a lifetime of stability, aesthetics, and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions About DENTAL IMPLANTS
The stimulation from chewing promotes bone growth in the jaw bone but when teeth are missing and the stimulation is gone, dramatic bone loss can occur. For dental implants, bone grafting is a way to regenerate bone growth in an area where a tooth is missing. Bone is necessary for patients receiving an implant because the base of the implant must be anchored into the jaw bone. These grafts can be taken from various bone sources including synthetic materials, the patient, an animal, or another human. The bone is then grafted or placed in the area where the implant will go and act as a base for the new growth to build on eventually replacing the bone graft material.
Historically, there have been two types of dental implants, endosteal and subperiosteal. Endosteal, the most commonly used procedure, refers to implants surgically implanted directly into the bone, while subperiosteal are implants consisting of a metal frame that rests on top of the jawbone under the gum tissue. In both procedures, an artificial tooth (or teeth) is mounted onto the post individually or grouped on a bridge or denture.
Additional dental implant options include All-on-4® or Teeth in a Day. These systems can replace an entire arch - all of your upper or lower natural teeth.
All-on-4 is a system of dental implants that can replace all of your teeth. It’s especially good for anyone who is missing most or all of their natural teeth. This is because All-on-4 implants can replace an entire arch (all of your upper or lower teeth) all at once. These techniques utilize four implants to lock your new teeth in place. Unlike conventional implants, All-on-4 and Teeth in a Day can be secured in a single visit rather than the typical six months and can heal in as little as six to eight weeks.
Many of our patients are curious to learn about the cost of dental implants. As you can imagine, every case is unique so your best bet is to schedule a consultation at our Lathrup South or Milford locations. Our Specialty Services leaders will review your financing and payment options, including third-party financing and Care Credit.
Implants need the same care as your real teeth, including brushing, flossing, rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash, and regular dental check-ups and cleanings.
Historically, a patient needing a dental implant would be referred to an oral surgeon by their general dentist. Today, however, many general dentists have extensive surgery training and experience and are able to place implants. At Fortson Dentistry, we have trained with a top Prosthodontist, Dr. Albert Wesley, but rest assured, if your case is more complex than we can confidently handle, we will refer you to a specialist.
Dental implants are very common in the United States. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, over 3 million people have dental implants in the United States and about 500,000 implants are placed each year. Dental Implants are not only common but they are extremely beneficial for patients with missing teeth.
It may sound painful to have a dental implant placed, but for most patients, the process is easier than removing a tooth. At Fortson Dentistry, you have sedation options, including conscious sedation and IV Sedation. We work with a Nurse Anesthetist to ensure our patients are monitored and comfortable throughout the process. We also offer a non-narcotic pain management injection that helps our patients remain pain-free for the first couple of days post-surgery.
