Best Dental Implants
Dental implants are perfect for replacing missing teeth and regaining lost confidence. They involve a simple surgical procedure and closely mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. Patients with dental implants can eat as normal with the installation of artificial teeth that closely match real ones.
At Precision Family Dental & Specialty, we can help you take charge of your oral health and feel good about your smile. You don't have to let missing teeth put a strain on your daily activities and relationships.

Reasons for Dental Implants:
Anyone who has lost teeth can benefit from dental implants. Patients with good oral health qualify for the procedure, and those with periodontal disease are, too, as long as you are treating it. Our dentists will examine your teeth and gums and discuss if any other treatments need to proceed before dental implant surgery.
We suggest booking your consultation for dental implants as soon as you lose teeth. Otherwise, you may be at risk for the following oral problems:
- Bite alteration
- Chewing difficulty
- Jaw joint pain
- Moving and shifted teeth
- Stress on other teeth
What to Expect From Our Surgical Procedure:
Our office makes receiving dental implants easy and as painless as possible. Dr. Jesse Hofer and associates place approximately 1500 dental implants annually, and have completed many forms of implant dentistry. We specialize in placing implants for full arch "same-day" teeth or "next-day" teeth. Here's what you can expect when you work with us:
- Consultation & planning: You will first meet with our dental specialist so we can examine your mouth and discuss your health. We personalize a treatment plan based on your bone health and mouth layout.
- Same-Day Implant installation: We like to call this "teeth in one day," where our patients can have teeth extracted, implants placed, and teeth screwed in, all in one day.
- Advantages for patients: You do not have to spend a single day without teeth.
- Disadvantages for patients: A very long and tiring appointment lasting about 5-6 hours in which teeth are "built in mouth" in real-time.
- Next-Day Implant installation: For our next-day teeth option, patients have surgery performed and return the next day to have teeth inserted.
- Advantages for patients: A shorter office visit, teeth are extracted, implants and abutments placed, impressions taken (about a 2 hour appointment, and teeth are inserted the next day with an approximate 10 minute appointment.
- Disadvantages for patients: You have to go home one evening without teeth.
- Healing: You can expect the healing process to last a few weeks, as the bone needs enough time to secure the implant.
Benefits of Dental Implant Surgery:
Dental implant surgery is a multi-step process that replaces missing teeth with high-quality and durable materials. Placing dental implants can improve the health of your remaining natural teeth and prevent your jaw from collapsing or shrinking.
How else can implants benefit you? Here are a few ways:
- They keep the bone structure intact by offering support.
- They protect neighboring teeth and help avoid bridgework.
- Unlike dentures, there is no difficulty speaking, moving, or eating.
- They feel and look just like natural teeth.
- They remain firmly anchored to the mouth, while some dentures are very loose.
You should try to eat soft foods in the first two weeks after your surgery, slowly transitioning to a harder diet. Remember to floss and brush your teeth two or three times a day and stay on top of good oral hygiene habits. Investing in your oral health improves your confidence and prevents numerous diseases.
