Dental Implants in Henderson, NV
Restore Your Smile with Lasting Confidence
At Comprehensive Dental Implant Center in Henderson, NV, we specialize in high-quality dental implants that restore both function and appearance.
Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, our implant solutions are designed to offer strength, stability, and a natural look that lasts for years to come.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, these implants support custom crowns, bridges, or dentures that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Implants function like real teeth and help prevent bone loss in the jaw, making them one of the most effective and long-lasting tooth replacement solutions.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Unlike removable dentures or dental bridges, implants are a permanent solution that offers superior comfort and durability. With dental implants, you can:
Chew and speak with confidence
Preserve jawbone density and prevent facial sagging
Eliminate the discomfort of removable appliances
Enjoy a natural look and feel
Protect adjacent teeth from shifting or wear
Benefit from a long-term, low-maintenance solution
Comparing Dental Implants and Dentures
When exploring your tooth replacement options, it’s important to understand the functional and lifestyle differences between implants and dentures.
- Dental implants are a long-term solution that offers exceptional stability, jawbone support, and a natural feel. They’re ideal for patients who want a permanent replacement and are comfortable undergoing a surgical procedure.
- Dentures, on the other hand, are removable appliances that provide a quicker, non-surgical option for restoring your smile. While they’re more affordable upfront, they may require adjustments over time and can feel less secure.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your health, bone structure, and personal preferences to help you choose the option that aligns best with your goals.
| Feature | Dentures | Dental Implants |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Removable prosthetic | Surgically implanted into the jawbone |
| Stability | May require adhesives; can slip | Fixed and secure; feels like natural teeth |
| Jawbone Preservation | Does not prevent bone loss | Stimulates and preserves jawbone |
| Longevity | Typically lasts 5–10 years with proper care | Can last decades with proper maintenance |
| Comfort | May take time to adjust; less stable while chewing | High comfort and function once healed |
| Cost | More affordable upfront | Higher initial cost, but greater long-term value |

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
Got questions about dental implants? We’ve got answers.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They act as artificial roots and support crowns, bridges, or dentures for a permanent solution that looks and feels natural.
Do dental implants hurt?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Local anesthesia and sedation are available, and post-surgical discomfort is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How do dental implants work?
After being surgically placed into the jawbone, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, it provides a strong foundation for a replacement tooth that mimics natural tooth function.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more—often a lifetime. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are essential to their longevity.
How much are dental implants?
The cost of dental implants varies depending on how many teeth are being replaced, the condition of your jawbone, and the type of restoration needed. We provide detailed estimates during your consultation and offer flexible financing options.
