The Benefits

Long-Lasting Solution

Through osseointegration, the titanium dental implants fuse with your jawbone to create a foundation that’s strong and stable like your natural tooth roots. This process strengthens and preserves your facial structure and provides long-term bite stabilization.

Better Investment

Unlike bridges or dentures that need to be replaced every 7-15 years, dental implants are a one-time investment for lasting tooth replacement. Though a higher investment upfront, this solution provides a much greater return over the life of your smile. We’ll walk you through your cost and insurance before any treatment begins. We also offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry to help fit your new smile in your budget.

Seamless Results

Our South Anchorage Dental Center doctors customize the shade, shape, and shine of each implant restoration using digital scans and planning to seamlessly blend with your natural smile.

Easy Maintenance

Modern implants resist decay and cavities. You can simply brush and floss your teeth as normal. Oral hygiene is much easier because implants function like natural teeth.

Healthier Smile

Unlike a tooth-supported bridge, dental implants don’t require reducing surrounding teeth for implant support. With more of your natural teeth preserved, you’ll enjoy better long-term oral health.

How It Works

Dental implants replace the root of a missing tooth with a titanium post placed in your jawbone. As you heal, the post fuses with the bone, creating a strong foundation for your new tooth. At South Anchorage Dental Center, every step happens in our office with a team you already trust.

Are You Missing Multiple Teeth?

Discover Complete Smile Restoration

All-on-4®

Using just four dental implants, our doctors precisely place these implants to anchor a full arch that replaces all of your upper and/or lower teeth. If you’re missing more than six teeth in an arch and have a healthy jawbone to support four implants, All-on-4® may be the perfect solution for your smile. Outdated methods required six or more implants and up to 18 months of treatment. All-on-4® often delivers your implants and a secure temporary arch placed on the same day, followed by your final arch only a few months later. Fewer implants. Faster process. Lasting results.

Benefits of All-on-4® Smile Restoration
‍

  • Show off your beautiful new smile
  • Eat foods you love again
  • No more annoying denture problems
  • Enjoy strong, secure, natural-looking teeth

All-On-X®

With a more personalized approach, All-on-X® uses anywhere from two to six implants depending on your specific needs. This solution is often best for patients who need additional jaw support or a more customized implant plan. Using 3D imaging and digital planning, we map out your new smile before treatment begins. Your treatment starts with implants and a temporary arch, followed by your final restoration once healing is complete. A safe and secure removable denture alternative, All-on-X® will give you a natural-looking, lasting full arch restoration.
