Restore your smile and renew your quality of life at Envision in Columbia.

Too often when people seek dental implant dentist, they start by searching for "dental implants near me". Yet if you're considering dental implants as a tooth replacement solution, finding a qualified prosthodontist is a critical step.

Prosthodontists are dental specialists who pursued at least three additional years of training on restorative dentistry after dental school. They specialize in diagnosis, treatment planning, and repair or replacement of missing and damaged teeth. From simple to complex restorative needs, prosthodontists are best qualified to deliver custom-made fixed or removable dental prosthetics including dental implants, dental crowns, dental bridges, dentures, veneers, and more.

Ideal candidates for dental implants have good oral health and enough bone density to hold an implant. Non-smokers with no significant chronic health issues have the greatest success with dental implant placement. People with chronic health conditions may also be candidates, as long as your oral health supports the procedure. For dental implant success, you must commit to effective oral hygiene and regular dental care.

At Envision Dental Implants in Columbia, you have a full range of dental implant options to restore function and aesthetics to your smile.

Single Dental Implants

Replace a missing tooth to complete your smile using a single dental implant that fuses to your jawbone with an artificial tooth (crown) that perfectly matches your surrounding teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Replace multiple missing teeth in a row using dental implants that fuse with your jawbone with a custom bridge to perfectly fit and flow with your other teeth. Unlike traditional bridges that require neighboring natural teeth to be modified for support, implant supported bridges are anchored into your jaw to help maintain bone health.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Replaces an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using dental implants that fuse to your jawbone to stabilize your dentures. Dentures can still be taken in and out but are supported by fixed implants that preserve bone and provide improved chewing function.

Full Arch Dental Implants

Also known as All on 4 dental implants

Replace an entire upper or lower row of teeth using 4-6 dental implants that fuse to your jawbone with a permanent, fixed full set of replacement teeth. Full arch treatments provide maximum function, aesthetics, and easy maintenance.

Full Mouth Dental Implants

Replace all the teeth in your mouth using 4-6 dental implants fused to both your upper and lower jawbone and permanent, fixed sets of prosthetic teeth. Like full arch implants, this tooth replacement solution provides a permanent restoration of the look and function of your mouth.

Zygomatic Implants

A specialized type of implant for those with severe bone loss, zygomatic implants replace the entire upper arch of teeth with implants attached to your cheekbones or zygomatic bone.

When it comes to tooth replacement options, dental implants are the standard of care. If you have lost one or more teeth, no other restorative treatment offers the benefits of dental implants, including:

• Jawbone health to maintain your bone density and natural facial profile
• Maximum bite strength to chew your favorite foods comfortably
• Exact form, fit, and feel of natural teeth for comfort and proper speaking
• Perfectly matched to your face and mouth for a bright, confident smile that can last a lifetime
• Permanent, fixed placement requiring just standard daily brushing and flossing
• Peace of mind, knowing your smile is healthy, stable, secure, and ready to share with the world

The cost of dental implants is impacted by a variety of factors unique to your individual treatment. Factors including procedure complexity, tooth extraction and grafting needs, anesthesia options, and the type of dental implants affect pricing. For example, the cost of full mouth dental implants will be greater than the cost of a single dental implant. Dental implants are a lasting investment for your smile, and it’s important to consider the long-term benefits and overall improvement in your quality of life.
