Dental Implants in Fargo, ND

If you are missing teeth, dental implants could be the ideal solution. Dr. Matthew Eaton provides implants to replace your missing teeth and give you back a healthy and fully functional smile. Unlike other prosthetic options, an implant replaces both the root and crown of your tooth to provide a long-term solution that will improve your oral health as well as restore your smile.

Implants consist of two main parts: the implant post and the implant restoration. The implant post replaces the tooth root and provides a stable foundation for your tooth by stimulating your supporting bone tissue to keep it strong and healthy. The implant restoration caps the post to complete your treatment. Depending on how many teeth you are having replaced, the restoration may be a crown, bridge, or a full or partial denture.

During your initial consultation, we will determine if you are a candidate for implant dentistry. Almost everyone is a candidate, however if you have a pre-existing condition such as tooth decay or periodontal disease, we will recommend you receive treatment to resolve that condition prior to receiving an implant.

When you receive an implant, our skilled dentist will surgically insert the implant post into your jawbone. After a period of healing, you will return to receive your custom-made implant restoration. We will provide you with post-op instructions as well as instructions on the best ways to care for your implant. Implants are designed to be permanent replacements for your teeth, and when properly cared for with good oral hygiene and regular preventive care, they can last for a lifetime.
