Exceptional Dentistry in Gladstone, MO
A permanent answer to missing teeth
Missing teeth can affect more than your smile. Over time they can lead to bone loss, misalignment and long-term oral health challenges. Dental implants replace one or more missing teeth with a permanent, durable and lifelike result, and unlike traditional bridges or dentures, they replace both the tooth and the missing root, which helps prevent bone loss and maintain your facial structure. We have seen firsthand how implants change lives: patients regain the ability to eat, speak and smile with ease. Everything from consultation to surgery and aftercare is handled in our office, so there is no need for multiple referrals.

Implant options
Ways implants can restore your smile
From one tooth to a full arch, each option has its own page:
-
Implant Retained Crowns
An implant retained crown is a replacement tooth attached to a dental implant, a post placed in the jawbone where a tooth is missing.
-
Implant Supported Bridge
An implant supported bridge is a fixed row of replacement teeth held in place by dental implants rather than by natural teeth.
-
Implant Supported Dentures
An implant supported denture, also called an overdenture or snap-in denture, is a removable denture that attaches to dental implants placed in the jawbone.
-
Hybrid Prosthesis
A hybrid prosthesis is a fixed, full-arch set of replacement teeth that is screwed onto dental implants in the jaw.
-
Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are narrow implant posts, slimmer than standard implants, placed in the jawbone to hold a denture or a small replacement tooth.

Why replacing a missing tooth matters
If you have lived with a missing tooth for years, you may wonder why replacing it is so important. Implants replace both the visible tooth and the root. They stimulate the jawbone, which helps prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure. And because missing teeth let the neighboring teeth shift, replacing them protects your alignment and bite. As a permanent solution, implants are a long-term investment in your oral health.

The short answer
A dental implant is a replacement for a missing tooth that replaces both the visible tooth and its root, giving a natural-looking result that restores how you eat, speak and smile. Each implant is planned with 3D CAT scan imaging, digital impressions and guided placement, and options range from a single implant retained crown to All-on-Four full-arch replacement and mini implants for stabilizing dentures. Because an implant stimulates the jawbone, it helps prevent bone loss and keeps neighboring teeth from shifting, and with proper care it can last a lifetime.
Dental Implants FAQ
- How long do dental implants last?
- With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Their durability comes from replacing the root as well as the tooth, with the implant post placed in the jawbone. Daily brushing and flossing and regular checkups are part of that proper care.
- How are dental implants different from bridges or dentures?
- Implants replace both the visible tooth and the missing root, while traditional bridges and dentures replace only the visible tooth. Because an implant stimulates the jawbone, it helps prevent bone loss and maintain your facial structure. Replacing the missing tooth also helps keep the neighboring teeth from shifting, which protects your alignment and bite. During your consultation we also discuss partial dentures, full dentures and dental bridges so you can compare the options.
- What types of implants do you offer?
- We offer All-on-Four implants, mini dental implants and Teeth in a Day. All-on-Four is a full-arch replacement using just four implants per arch, and mini dental implants are a minimally invasive option for stabilizing dentures with less healing time. Teeth in a Day provides same-day implant placement for immediate results. Implants can also hold a single crown, a bridge, a snap-in denture or a fixed hybrid prosthesis.
- Will I need to go to another office?
- No, everything from consultation to surgery and aftercare is handled in our office. That means there is no need for multiple referrals as your treatment moves from planning to placement. Your implant is planned with 3D CAT scan imaging and followed through to aftercare by the same team.
- What is included in the $50 implant consultation?
- The $50 implant consultation includes a comprehensive oral exam, 3D X-rays (CT scan) and panoramic X-rays, a personalized implant treatment plan, detailed information on the procedure and answers to all your questions. It is a $608 value. The 3D imaging is what allows each implant to be planned precisely before treatment begins.
- Do you offer sedation?
- Yes, sedation dentistry is available for a relaxed, stress-free visit. It is worth raising during your consultation, where we explain every step and answer your questions. Along with digital impressions and guided placement, it is part of how we keep implant treatment comfortable.
