Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants in Westlake, OH

Dental implants are advanced, long-lasting tooth replacements that are surgically placed into the jawbone to mimic natural tooth roots. They provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, helping restore the appearance and function of your smile. Made of biocompatible titanium, implants fuse with the bone over time, offering unmatched durability and support.

Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are fixed and feel just like your real teeth. They improve chewing, speech, and confidence—making them one of the most trusted solutions in modern dentistry for missing or damaged teeth.

Most healthy adults with missing teeth and good oral hygiene are excellent candidates for dental implants. Ideal patients should have healthy gums and enough bone density in the jaw to support the implant post. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, advanced techniques like bone grafting can still make implants a viable option.

Additionally, non-smokers and patients without chronic conditions like uncontrolled diabetes tend to have the best outcomes. If you’re unsure, our team at Westlake Dental can assess your health and goals to determine if implants are right for you.

Dental implants do more than replace missing teeth—they restore your confidence, bite strength, and long-term oral health. They help preserve the jawbone by stimulating bone tissue, preventing the sunken facial appearance often caused by tooth loss.

They’re also incredibly durable. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime—making them a smart investment for anyone looking for a permanent solution that feels and functions just like natural teeth.

The dental implant process typically involves a few key stages: consultation, implant placement, healing, and crown attachment. After a personalized evaluation, your dentist will insert the titanium post into the jawbone. This integrates naturally over time through a process called osseointegration.

Once healed, a custom-made crown is placed, restoring full function and aesthetics. At Westlake Dental, we ensure every step is precise, comfortable, and tailored to your smile goals using 3D imaging and advanced technology.
