Dental Implants in St. George, Utah

Permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth — rediscover the joy of a complete, confident smile.

Missing teeth affect every aspect of your daily life, from the foods you can enjoy to how confidently you smile in photos. At Virgin River Dental, we specialize in dental implant solutions that restore not just your teeth, but your quality of life. Dr. Davis and our experienced team use advanced implant technology to create replacements so natural, you'll forget they're not your original teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. These biocompatible posts fuse with your bone through osseointegration, creating an incredibly stable foundation for replacement teeth. Once integrated, we attach custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures that match your natural teeth perfectly in color, shape, and function.

Unlike traditional tooth replacement options, implants preserve your jawbone and facial structure by providing the stimulation bones need to maintain density. This prevents the sunken appearance often associated with tooth loss while giving you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile without worry. Modern implant success rates exceed 95%, making them the most reliable long-term solution for missing teeth.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer

Traditional Dental Implants

Traditional implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, featuring a titanium post typically 3.5-6mm in diameter. These implants work for most patients and situations, providing exceptional stability for single crowns, bridges, or denture support. The two-stage process allows complete osseointegration before loading, ensuring long-term success rates exceeding 95%.

All-on-4 Implants

This revolutionary technique supports an entire arch of teeth on just four strategically angled implants. By tilting posterior implants to maximize available bone, we often avoid bone grafting even in challenging cases. Patients leave with temporary teeth the same day, enjoying immediate function while the implants integrate.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Healthy Bone Structure

Successful implant placement requires sufficient jawbone to support the titanium post. Using our cone beam 3D imaging, we precisely evaluate your bone density and volume. Even if you've experienced bone loss, modern grafting techniques can often rebuild enough structure for successful implant placement.

Good Overall Health

Ideal implant candidates maintain good general health for proper healing. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking may affect integration but don't automatically disqualify you. We work with your medical team to optimize your health before implant surgery, ensuring the best possible outcome.

Commitment to Oral Hygiene

While implants can't develop cavities, they require regular cleaning to prevent peri-implantitis (gum disease around implants). Patients committed to daily brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings enjoy decades of trouble-free service from their implants.

The Dental Implant Process

Your implant journey begins with comprehensive planning using our advanced cone beam technology. This 3D imaging reveals bone structure, nerve locations, and sinus positions with remarkable precision. We use this data to create a surgical guide ensuring exact implant placement for optimal function and aesthetics.

The placement procedure itself is more comfortable than most patients expect. Using gentle techniques and effective anesthesia, we precisely position the implant according to our digital plan. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two. Over the following months, your bone cells grow around and fuse with the implant surface, creating a bond even stronger than natural tooth roots.

Once integration is complete, we take impressions for your custom restoration. Our lab crafts beautiful crowns or bridges that blend seamlessly with your smile. The final placement is simple and comfortable, completing your transformation with teeth that look and feel completely natural.
