Dental Implants

If you are missing one or more of your natural teeth, our dentists at Art & Science Family Dentistry may recommend a dental implant to restore your smile and improve your ability to chew and speak comfortably. A dental implant is designed with longevity in mind and it is intended to look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. Dr. Kinney, and Art & Science Family Dentistry invite you to contact our team today if you would like more information about a dental implant in Woodbury, Minnesota.

Dental implants are lasting, stable tooth replacements that can be used to replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth or complete arches of teeth. The dental implant post, which is a screw made of titanium, is surgically placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. It replaces the missing tooth root and ensures that your dental restoration is stable. A period of healing is then often required to allow the bone to begin to bond with the biocompatible post.

Great experience! I have been coming here for over 30 years...Great staff, latest in Denistry, always able to answer any questions or concerns. Highly recommend this family dentistry experience.

Following this healing period, our dentists will place the dental implant restoration, or replacement tooth, which fits on top of the implant post. Depending on which teeth are missing and your personal dental needs, your implant restoration might be a dental crown, dental bridge, or a complete or partial denture. Each dental implant restoration is custom made to fit your smile comfortably and aesthetically.

Replacing a missing tooth can restore your smile to optimal health, function and appearance. A dental implant is a great option for restoring your smile because the implant is designed to look, function and feel just like your natural teeth, and with proper care, it can last a lifetime.
