Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants in Lehi, UT

Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile. They can change how you eat, speak, and feel. At Dente Comprehensive Dentistry, we’re proud to offer permanent dental implant solutions that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.

Whether you’re missing a single tooth or several, Dr. Richards and our compassionate Lehi dental team are here to help you restore your oral health and confidence with long-lasting, natural-looking dental implants.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It is surgically placed into your jawbone, where it integrates with the bone to create a stable foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture.

Because implants mimic the structure of a natural tooth, they’re the most durable and lifelike tooth replacement option available today.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants do more than just fill gaps; they protect your oral health and restore your smile’s function:

• Permanent & Stable: Implants are fused to the jawbone, offering long-term stability with no slipping or shifting.
• Natural Look & Feel: Custom-crafted to match the shape and color of your natural teeth.
• Preserve Bone & Facial Structure: Implants help prevent the bone loss that often follows tooth loss, maintaining your natural facial shape.
• No Impact on Neighboring Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, implants don’t require grinding down healthy teeth.
• Low Maintenance: Care for your implants just like you would your natural teeth — brush, floss, and schedule regular checkups.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

The Dental Implant Process at Dente

Our team will guide you through each step of the implant process, ensuring your experience is smooth, comfortable, and customized to your needs:

1. Consultation & Exam: Dr. Richards will evaluate your oral health, take 3D images, and determine if you’re a good candidate for implants.
2. Implant Placement: The titanium post is gently placed into the jawbone by a skilled dental surgeon.
3. Healing & Integration: Over the next few months, your implant will fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
4. Custom Restoration: Once healed, we’ll design and attach a custom crown, bridge, or denture that blends naturally with your smile.

We work closely with trusted specialists for surgical placement, then complete the restorative phase right here in our Lehi office.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

You may be a good candidate for implants if you:

• Are missing one or more teeth
• Have healthy gums and sufficient bone density
• Want a long-term solution that looks and feels natural
• Are in overall good health

If bone loss has already occurred, bone grafting may be recommended before implant placement. Dr. Richards will thoroughly evaluate your needs and help you explore all options during your consultation.
