What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a dental treatment designed to replace missing teeth by placing artificial roots into the jawbone. This implant procedure supports crowns and other restorative treatments, helping patients restore their smile with durable, natural-looking results.

Dr. Travis Wills and Dr. Ben Hiener, our trusted dentists in Shady Spring, Lochgelly, and Bluefield, WV, serving patients in Beckley, Princeton, Lewisburg, Oak Hill, Summersville, Fayetteville, Hinton, WV, Tazewell, Wytheville, Pearisburg, and Narrows, VA, thoroughly examine patients' existing teeth, jawbones, and gum tissues before recommending the treatment as a solution.

Implants replace the roots of lost teeth and are inserted under the gums as part of a precise implant procedure. After 3–6 months, the bones grow around and adapt to implants as if they were natural roots.

Once the implants are firmly in place and the surrounding gum tissue is strong, they are ready to support a crown or restored tooth as part of a complete restorative treatment. When the process is completed, the new teeth help restore your smile and are often hard to tell apart from your original teeth. We offer functional and aesthetically pleasing dental restoration in Shady Spring, Lochgelly, and Bluefield.

Bone Grafts

If the implant site does not have enough bone volume to support the appropriately sized implant, you will need a bone graft before proceeding with your dental implant treatment. Bone loss can result from periodontal disease, injuries, cysts, infections, or an extracted tooth, which can affect your ability to replace missing teeth successfully.

Normally, it can be determined if you will need a bone graft from your X-ray before surgery, though in some cases it is discovered during the implant procedure. Bone grafts are very safe and effective in supporting dental implant cases and long-term restorative treatments.

Once placed, the graft helps regenerate bone, making it possible to restore your smile and complete your dental restoration plan. Our skilled dentists in Shady Spring, Lochgelly, and Bluefield, Dr. Wills, and Dr. Hiener, ensure every step is handled with precision and care.
