Dental Implants in Ashland, OH
Ashland Dental Arts places dental implants in our Ashland, OH office, so you can replace missing teeth without being sent elsewhere. An implant is a small post placed in the jawbone that supports a crown, a bridge or a denture.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant has three parts: a small titanium post (the implant itself) that is placed into the jawbone, an abutment that connects the post to the final tooth, and a crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Together they replace the entire tooth from root to tip.
Who is a good candidate?
Most adults with healthy gums and enough bone in the jaw are good candidates. Certain health conditions or habits may affect healing, so we review your full health history at your consultation. An exam and x-rays help us determine whether implants are the right choice for you.
Replacing one tooth with an implant crown
When a single tooth is missing, an implant topped with a custom crown fills the gap. The implant preserves the jawbone and does not require altering the teeth on either side, unlike a traditional bridge.
Replacing several teeth with an implant bridge
When several adjacent teeth are missing, two or more implants can support a bridge that spans the gap. This avoids the need to grind down healthy neighboring teeth and provides a stable, fixed result.
Implant-retained dentures
Implants can also anchor a denture so it stays firmly in place while you eat and speak. If you are already considering a denture, ask our team whether implant retention is an option for you. Learn more about dentures in Ashland.
Implants vs. bridges vs. dentures
Each option has advantages depending on how many teeth are missing, the condition of your remaining teeth, and your goals. Implants preserve bone and do not rely on neighboring teeth. Bridges are fixed and do not require surgery but do involve the adjacent teeth. Dentures replace a full arch and are removable. We will explain the trade-offs at your consultation so you can make an informed decision. See also crowns and bridges in Ashland.
What happens at your implant consultation?
At your consultation our team will examine your mouth, take x-rays, and talk with you about your goals. We will explain your options, walk you through the process, and give you a treatment plan and cost estimate before you commit to anything.
The implant process step by step
The process happens in stages. First, the implant post is placed in the jawbone. Then the bone heals and bonds to the post — this takes time and varies by patient. Once healing is complete, the abutment and final crown are attached. Our team will guide you through each stage and answer your questions along the way.
Nervous? Oral sedation is available for adults
If dental anxiety is a concern, oral sedation can help you stay comfortable during your procedure. Learn more on our sedation dentistry page.
Caring for implants
Implants are cared for much like natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up with regular cleanings and checkups. With proper care, implants can serve you well for many years.
Cost, insurance and financing
The cost of implants depends on your needs and insurance coverage. We are in-network with many PPO plans — including Aetna, Blue Cross, Delta Dental, Guardian, Humana, MetLife, and others — and will check your benefits before treatment begins. Financing is available through CareCredit and Sunbit. If you do not have insurance, ask about our in-office dental discount plan. Call (419) 496-0132 with any questions.
