Dental implants in Boise are one of the most advanced solutions for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are permanent replacements that function and look just like natural teeth. They consist of a small titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone, serving as a sturdy foundation for a crown on top.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. We use local anesthesia and, if desired, sedation options to ensure a relaxing experience. Any post-surgery soreness is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
The entire process typically takes several months. This includes the healing period needed for your jawbone to fuse with the implant (osseointegration) and the crafting of your custom restoration. Your personalized timeline will be discussed during your consultation.
Costs vary depending on how many teeth are being replaced, your bone health, and whether additional procedures (like bone grafting) are needed. During your consultation, we’ll provide a transparent, detailed cost estimate and discuss flexible financing options.
Ideal candidates have healthy gums, good overall health, and sufficient jawbone to support the implants. If you’ve experienced bone loss, additional treatments such as grafting can help make implants a viable option.
Caring for implants is much like caring for natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, visit for regular checkups, and avoid harmful habits such as smoking or biting hard objects. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are anchored securely into the jawbone, offering unmatched stability and function. They also help preserve bone density, prevent facial sagging, and provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution.
Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in both appearance and function, giving you a confident, natural-looking smile.
With proper care, dental implants can last for decades — often a lifetime — making them one of the most reliable tooth replacement options available.
Because implants are anchored securely in your jawbone, they don’t slip or shift like dentures. You can eat, speak, and laugh comfortably and confidently.
Implants stimulate your jawbone just like natural tooth roots, helping prevent bone loss and maintaining your facial structure.
Unlike bridges, implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, preserving the health and integrity of surrounding teeth.
As with any surgical procedure, there’s a small risk of infection, nerve injury, or sinus complications (for upper implants). These risks are minimized through careful planning and sterile technique.
The osseointegration process — where the implant fuses with your bone — takes several months. Patience is required for optimal, long-term success.
Adequate bone density and healthy gums are necessary to support implants. If these are insufficient, additional procedures like bone grafting may be needed.
While rare, implants can fail to integrate properly due to factors like smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or poor oral hygiene. Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor healing.
Dental implants are an investment in your oral health and may initially cost more than other tooth replacement options. However, their durability often makes them more cost-effective long-term.
