For Lasting Functional and Beautiful Smiles

Missing or damaged teeth can keep you from smiling with confidence or speaking freely. Missing teeth may even cause you to avoid your favorite foods. Fortunately, Dr. Michael Boldt is a general and cosmetic dentist in Medford, Oregon with expertise in implant dentistry to create functional and beautiful smiles.

Dental Implants for Tooth Replacement

Dental implants are artificial tooth bases that are permanently implanted in the jawbone. Dental implants act like the root of a tooth to provide secure support for a single replacement tooth or implant-supported partial or full dentures. Whether you use dental implants to replace one or more missing teeth or create a stable foundation for dentures, feel confident that Dr. Boldt is a dentist with a solid reputation for creating exceptional healthy, beautiful smiles.

The first step of the dental implant process is to schedule a consultation and examination with Dr. Boldt. He will carefully listen to your concerns and explain your treatment options in terms that you can understand. Our dentist will let you know if you are a good candidate for dental implants. For some people, dental implants are a better alternative to crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Dr. Boldt works as a team with your surgeon in planning your implant procedure. Each dental implant begins with implanting a titanium post into the jawbone. The post forms a stable base for the new crown (restoration) that will be applied after the placement site heals in about three to six months. In the final stage of the process, Dr. Boldt will secure natural-looking replacement teeth to the post. The replacement teeth will function and appear like your own teeth, and your smile will look as beautiful as you have always imagined.
