Dental Implants

Rediscover the Joy of Eating, Speaking, and Smiling with Dental Implants

Missing teeth can take a toll—not just on your ability to chew and speak, but on your confidence and overall quality of life. If you find yourself avoiding certain foods, covering your smile, or feeling less like yourself, dental implants could be the permanent solution you’ve been looking for. Dr. Malone is highly skilled with placing implants in our office, using 3D technology to preplan exactly where the implant will go based on your individual anatomy.

At Schaefer Advanced Dentistry, Dr. Schaefer and Dr. Malone use cutting-edge implant technology to help patients smile, speak, and eat with ease again. With natural-looking results and unmatched durability, dental implants don’t just replace missing teeth—they restore your confidence.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone, functioning as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, these implants are topped with custom restorations like crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures to create a smile that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.

Over time, the implant fuses with your bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a secure foundation that helps prevent jawbone loss and supports long-term oral health.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Prevent Bone Loss
Unlike bridges or traditional dentures, dental implants actively stimulate your jawbone to prevent bone shrinkage and preserve your facial structure.
Long-Lasting & Low-Maintenance
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime—no adhesives, no slipping, and no special maintenance.
Look, Feel, and Function Like Real Teeth
Enjoy the freedom to eat, speak, and smile without hesitation. No more shifting dentures or avoiding certain foods.
Boost Confidence and Quality of Life
Dental implants offer a natural appearance and secure fit, helping you feel more like yourself—at home, at work, and in social settings.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

If you’re missing one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or periodontal disease, you may be an ideal candidate for dental implants. Most adults with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are eligible for implant surgery.
During your consultation, Dr. Schaefer and Dr. Malone will evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if implants are the right fit for you. If needed, we can also discuss bone grafting or other preparatory procedures to ensure long-term success.

What to Expect from the Dental Implant Process

The implant process is typically completed in stages:

  • Consultation & Planning – We’ll assess your oral health and map out a custom treatment plan.
  • Implant Placement – The titanium post is placed in the jawbone with precision and care.
  • Healing & Integration – Your jawbone will naturally bond with the implant over a few months.
  • Final Restoration – A beautifully crafted crown, bridge, or denture is placed on the implant.

The result? A secure, fully functional tooth replacement that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.
