What to Expect
The Implant Advantage
Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, dental implants:
-
Preserve jawbone health: Implants stimulate bone just like natural tooth roots, preventing deterioration
-
Provide permanent stability: No slipping, no adhesives, no discomfort
-
Protect adjacent teeth: Single implants don't require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth
-
Restore full function: Eat whatever you want with confidence
-
Look completely natural: Custom crowns or prosthetics match your existing teeth perfectly
Single Tooth Replacement
Lost a tooth to injury, decay, or extraction? A single dental implant with a custom crown provides:
-
A permanent solution that can last a lifetime with proper care
-
No impact on surrounding healthy teeth
-
The same function and appearance as your natural tooth
-
Preservation of bone structure in the jaw

Implant-Supported Bridges or Dentures
Multiple Teeth Replacement
For several missing teeth, implant-supported bridges offer:
-
Fixed, stable tooth replacement without removable appliances
-
Fewer implants needed than individual teeth (implants can support multiple teeth)
-
Restored chewing function and clear speech
-
Natural aesthetics that blend seamlessly with your smile
Full-Arch Restoration
When all teeth are missing or failing, implant-supported dentures or bridges deliver life-changing results:
-
Superior stability: Your denture stays firmly in place — no slipping during eating or speaking
-
Enhanced comfort: Implant support means less bulky prosthetics and no palate coverage
-
Improved nutrition: Chew properly again, expanding your food choices
-
Restored confidence: Smile, laugh, and live without worry about your teeth
-
Long-term solution: Properly maintained implants can last decades

Our Technology:
Dentistry is always evolving, and Dr. Stangebye is committed to staying ahead of it. He offers Cone Beam CT (CBCT) 3D imaging, which captures detailed views of your bones, nerves, and soft tissues — allowing for precise diagnosis and treatment planning before a procedure ever begins. This technology is especially critical for successful dental implant surgery. He also uses the iTero Digital Scanning System, which means no more messy impressions. Digital scans are 10 times more accurate on the first try than traditional impression methods, resulting in better-fitting restorations with fewer remakes.
