Are Dental Implants Right for You? Explore Candidacy Factors
Oral Health
You must be in good oral health to ensure a solid foundation for your dental implants. If you have concerns like tooth decay or gum disease, we can help you address them to improve your candidacy for dental implant placement.
Jawbone Density
Dr. Hill will evaluate your jawbone to ensure there is sufficient bone density to support dental implants. If you've suffered bone loss, you may require preparatory bone grafting.
Tobacco Use
Tobacco use can put you at an increased risk of issues such as dental infection, gum disease, and implant failure. We highly recommend patients permanently quit using all tobacco products before dental implant placement.

Explore the Life-Changing Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they function as tooth roots. Made from biocompatible titanium, these implants fuse with the bone gradually through a process known as osseointegration. This forms a stable foundation for attaching a crown, bridge, or denture, making dental implants a versatile, durable, and permanent solution for tooth loss. Here are several reasons why our patients choose implants:
- Longevity: When properly cared for, implants can last a lifetime, exceeding the lifespan of traditional dentures or bridges.
- Functionality: Implants restore chewing ability and speech clarity, which are often compromised with tooth loss.
- Bone Preservation: Implants help maintain jawbone density and prevent the bone deterioration that results from missing teeth.
- Aesthetics: Implant restorations are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
A Solution Tailored to You
Dental implants can help restore your smile, no matter how many missing teeth you have.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown paired with a dental implant can fill in the gap for patients with a single missing tooth. Your crown will be made to blend in seamlessly with your smile.
Dental Bridge
If you have multiple missing teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge may be right for you.
Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are a more secure alternative to traditional dentures that can address widespread tooth loss along one or both arches.

FAQ About Dental Implants
Are dental implants safe?
Yes, dental implants are a safe and reliable treatment with a high success rate of over 95% when performed by a qualified professional like Dr. Chris Hill. They are one of the most reliable dental treatments available for missing teeth.
Is dental implant placement painful?
No. Dr. Hill will ensure the area is thoroughly numbed before treatment begins. We also offer sedation dentistry at our St. Louis office. Some discomfort is to be expected as you heal. However, most people manage well with over-the-counter pain medications and comfort measures like rest, ice packs, and a soft food diet.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are made of durable titanium and can last a lifetime. Your denture, crown, or bridge will wear over time with use and will eventually need to be replaced. However, with good oral hygiene, regular cleanings, and routine dental exams, your restoration can last for up to 15 years or more.
