Dental Implants in Salt Lake City, UT

A dental implant is a titanium post that is placed in an area to replace a missing tooth. A restoration similar to a crown is attached to the post to complete the procedure. At the Salt Lake City dental office of Dr. Robert Palmer, we recommend dental implants because they are as close to your natural teeth as possible—they feel stable, look beautiful, and are just as strong as natural teeth—without the potential for cavities or decay. Best of all, dental implants do not require the removal of healthy tooth structure to make room for supports as dental bridges do.

Dr. Palmer can adapt your dental implant to meet your oral health needs. If you are missing only one tooth, a single implant plus a replacement tooth will do the trick. If you are missing several teeth in a row or all of your teeth, a few strategically placed implants can support a permanent bridge or an implant-supported denture.

We offer dental implant treatment—from start to finish—from the convenience of our Salt Lake City dental office. Dr. Palmer is up to date on the most recent and best techniques to make implant placement easy and comfortable to every patient. We have the highest technology to assist in making sure every implant placed is supported by good bone and healthy tissue.

The procedure takes an hour or less and is very comfortable. If the tooth is already missing, Dr. Palmer will measure the area and makes room to place the implant. The implant is then placed and will need to heal for about two to six months. After the implant is fully healed in the bone, the crown will be placed on top of the implant. Implant after-care includes brushing and flossing, as well as professional cleanings with our hygiene team.
