A Long-Lasting Solution for Missing Teeth
Losing a tooth doesn’t have to affect your confidence or your ability to enjoy everyday life. Dental implants provide a strong, permanent solution that restores both the look and function of your smile.
At Columbus Periodontics & Implants in Columbus, IN, the implant process is simple and designed for lasting results:
1. A small titanium post is placed in the jaw to act as a secure foundation
2. The area heals as the implant naturally fuses with the bone for stability
3. A custom-made crown is attached, creating a natural-looking, fully functional tooth
With dental implants, you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a wonderful alternative for treating empty spaces caused by tooth loss or for stabilizing a loose fitting denture. The procedure is virtually painless and is usually completed in 30-45 minutes.
Q.
Why Choose a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are a long term permanent solution for tooth loss. In most cases, dental implants offer the best aesthetics and can't be differentiated from your natural teeth.
Q.
Why is a Dental Implant Better than a Bridge?
Dental implants are a quick efficient solution to replace a missing tooth. A bridge requires cutting on adjacent healthy tooth structures or removing good crowns to close the space. Research shows a dental bridge has an average life span of 10 years and replacement becomes complicated when a bridge fails. A dental implant, if maintained well, can last a lifetime.
Q.
How does a Dental Implant Stabilize my Denture?
Most patients that have had dentures for ten or more years have experienced a change in the way their denture fits and is retained. They will slowly lose bone over time making it difficult to chew on food or speak with their denture. A denture can physically be snapped onto a dental implant allowing for much more proficient speaking, chewing, and confidence in your denture.
Q.
Can a dental implant be placed after extraction?
Often yes — many patients are candidates for implant replacement. Timing depends on your bone health and specific situation, which we’ll evaluate during your visit.
