Dental Implants

Tooth Implant Dentistry With Your Yuma Dentist

Dental implants are the latest advancement in tooth replacement technology.They are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots, which are then topped with custom crowns, bridges, or dentures to create a permanent, natural-looking smile. Because they fuse directly with the bone over time, implants offer a level of stability, comfort, and longevity that traditional dentures and bridges simply cannot match.

At The Yuma Dentist, a privately owned and independently operated practice serving Yuma and Fortuna Foothills, we believe that when you’re missing teeth you deserve a restoration option that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing. You’ll work directly with Dr. Mann from your first consultation through your final restoration, with no corporate protocols and no pressure to pursue a treatment plan that isn’t right for you.

What Are Dental Implants?

Missing teeth can make chewing and speaking difficult, and many patients feel self-conscious about smiling. At The Yuma Dentist, we offer advanced tooth replacement options designed to restore your smile and confidence.

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, they are topped with custom crowns, bridges, or dentures — resulting in a long-lasting and natural-looking solution.

Implant Options We Offer

• Single Tooth Replacement: A porcelain crown is anchored to a single implant, giving you a new permanent tooth.
• Mini Implants: Smaller than traditional implants, mini implants offer a less invasive option with the same stability and aesthetic results.
• Implant-Supported Dentures: Combine the stability of implants with full dentures for a secure, worry-free fit — no slipping or adhesives needed.
• Implant-Supported Bridges: Replace multiple missing teeth in a row using implants to anchor a custom-designed dental bridge.

The Dental Implant Process

1. Consultation & Impressions: We evaluate your smile goals and take impressions for precise planning.

2. Bone Preparation: If needed, we can perform bone grafts or sinus lifts to ensure adequate support for implants.

3. Implant Surgery: Titanium posts are placed in the jaw during a minimally invasive procedure.

4. Same-Day Implants: In some cases, the full implant process can be completed in 24 hours.

5. Osseointegration: Over the next few months, your implants will fuse with your jawbone for permanent stability.

6. Implant Restoration: Finally, your dentist will attach custom crowns, bridges, or dentures for a fully restored smile.

Before and After Dental Implants

Preparing for Your Perfect Smile

Even if you’re not a candidate for implants today, our team offers bone grafts and sinus lifts to help prepare your jawbone for implant placement in the future.

A Relaxing Dental Experience

Dental implant surgery is a straightforward, comfortable process. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options like nitrous oxide to ensure a relaxing experience — no need to be fully put under.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

• Natural Function: Chew, bite, and speak just like with natural teeth.
• Jawbone Preservation: Prevents bone loss and facial collapse.
• Flawless Appearance: Custom-crafted for a seamless, lifelike look.
• Easy Maintenance: Brush and floss just like your natural teeth.

What Are My Implant Options?

Whether you need to replace one tooth or a full arch, we offer tailored solutions including:

• Implant-Supported Crowns
• Fixed Bridges
• Implant Dentures

Why Choose Implants Over Traditional Options?

While traditional dentures and bridges restore your smile, they lack the comfort, security, and health benefits of dental implants. Implant-supported restorations are fixed in place, look more natural, and last longer.

Unlike removable dentures, implant dentures won’t slip or click, and they actively support the health of your jawbone.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

The cost of implants varies depending on your case and insurance. At The Yuma Dentist, we offer competitive pricing and long-lasting results that make your investment worthwhile.

Patient Testimonial

Called for a last-minute appt due to pain in my jaw. I waited until the last minute because dentists make me nervous, but they took me in right away, ended up pulling a tooth and getting an implant. The staff made me feel very welcome, and with everything I had done, it only took an hour. With all said and done, I would recommend to others. The doctor and nurse talked me through everything and made going to the dentist less scary! Thank you!!! – Amanda
