You deserve a smile solution that is long-term, comfortable, and natural-looking. Rather than settling for missing and damaged teeth, consider meeting with an expert Billings, MT dentist to discuss dental implants.
Dr. Matt Larsen on the Cost of Implants
It’s time to give yourself a better life with a solution that works for you. But don’t settle for anyone but Yellowstone Family Dental. Our world-class facility provides all-inclusive implant dentistry, offering you continuity of care from root to crown.
Pioneered nearly 50 years ago, this technology has grown in popularity recently due to how well it mimics the feel of your natural teeth. But that’s not the only benefit of dental implants.
Get back to eating everything you love, because you’ll enjoy up to 90 percent of your natural bite force. Melt years off your appearance by providing natural structure to your cheeks. Say goodbye to gum irritation from dentures or normal wear and tear. Dental implants preserve your jaw bone and prevent the natural shrinkage that WILL occur with bone loss. A bridge or removable partial denture does not preserve or maintain your bone. Enjoy a lifetime with your new smile if it’s properly cared for.
Does this sound too good to be true? Call Yellowstone Family Dental at 406-245-7026 for your free consultation to see for yourself!
Enjoy Consistent Care Throughout The Entire Process
We’ll work with you to determine which dental restorations are right for you. Our experienced dentists provide several options so that you can have the best fit for your goals and budget.
Traditional dental implants support individual crowns, which we will custom-create for you right here in our office.
- All-on-4® dental implants require only four implants and can support an entire arch of teeth.
- Mini dental implants are structured like traditional implants but are smaller, making them less invasive.
- Implant-supported dentures and implant-retained dentures have the strength and security of dental implants with the convenience of removable dentures. And our load-bearing implant-retained dentures can give you a same-day smile.
Whenever possible, we’ll do everything in our power to offer you affordable full-mouth dental implants if you are missing most or all of your teeth.
Avoid Dental Anxiety With Our Sedation Options
Although you won’t feel a thing during any stage of the implant process, we understand that some patients still experience dental anxiety. Our goal is for you to feel comfortable while in our care, so we’ve equipped each of our private operatories with a TV in the ceiling. Enjoy the distraction of Netflix while we work distraction-free.
And if you still feel nervous, ask us about sedation dentistry. We have three options to help you relax, all of which are safe and administered by our trained professionals.
Get a smile that looks and feels great and will make you look and feel great. Call Yellowstone Family Dental at 406-245-7026 or use our handy online form to request an appointment at our Billings, MT office.
Frequently Asked Questions: Dental Implants
Q: I’ve been told that dental implants might be an option for my missing teeth. What can you tell me about them?
We have several implant options that can replace your teeth and give you back your chewing power and smile. Depending on your situation, we can use implants as a base for a crown (made the same day right here in our office), implant-retained or implant-supported dentures, or a complete arch of teeth with All-on-4®. We can even place mini implants if you’re not a good candidate for traditional implants.
Q: What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from medical-grade titanium that are placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, it supports a custom crown, bridge, or denture that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Dental implants are widely considered the most durable and natural-feeling option for tooth replacement.
Q: Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
Dental implants are one of the most reliable and long-lasting solutions for missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants integrate with the jawbone and provide stability when chewing, speaking, and smiling. They also help prevent bone loss that can occur after tooth loss.
Q: Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report that dental implant surgery involves minimal discomfort. The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia or sedation dentistry to ensure comfort. After the procedure, mild soreness is common but usually manageable with over-the-counter medication.
Q: Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults who are missing one or more teeth can be candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates typically have:
- Healthy gums
- Adequate jawbone density
- Good overall health
- A commitment to oral hygiene
During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine if dental implants are right for you.
Q: Do dental implants look natural?
Yes. Dental implants are designed to look and function just like natural teeth. Custom crowns are created to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from your natural smile.
Q: How do dental implants compare to dentures or bridges?
Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options:
- More stable and secure
- Prevent bone loss in the jaw
- No slipping like dentures
- Do not rely on neighboring teeth like bridges
For many patients, implants provide the most natural and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.
Q: How do I care for dental implants?
Dental implants can be cared for just like natural teeth. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups are essential for maintaining long-term implant health.
Q: How do I know if dental implants are right for me?
The best way to determine whether dental implants are right for you is to schedule a consultation with an experienced dentist. During your visit, your dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan.
