When a patient has lost a functional tooth, a single dental implant is placed into the upper or lower jaw bone as a tooth root to support a new tooth crown. Dental implants are the longest lasting dental restorations with the highest success and survival rates in the field of dentistry today. A dental implant supported tooth is the most natural and longest lasting way to replace a tooth that is lost. Implant supported crowns are permanently attached and no teeth have to be taken in and out of the mouth.

Initial Consultation: The journey to a complete smile begins with a consultation at our state-of-the-art facilities in Omaha, Papillion, Fremont, and Council Bluffs. Our experienced oral surgeons will assess your oral health, take digital X-rays, and discuss your treatment options. We believe in personalized care, tailoring each treatment plan to your unique needs.

Implant Placement: Once you've decided on a dental implant, the next step is the surgical placement of the implant into the upper or lower jawbone. This titanium implant serves as a secure foundation for your new tooth. We use the latest technology to ensure precision and minimize discomfort during this procedure.

Healing and Osseointegration: After implant placement, a healing period is essential to allow the implant to integrate with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This ensures the stability and strength of the implant. Healing times may vary but typically range from a few weeks to a few months.

Custom Restoration: Once the implant has fully integrated, we'll create a custom dental crown. This crown is meticulously designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. The result is a seamless and natural-looking replacement.

Final Placement: The custom crown is securely attached to the implant, completing your smile. Our experts at Oral Surgery Associates ensure that your bite is comfortable, and your new tooth functions just like a natural one.
