Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth — and for good reason. They’re the only option that replaces the tooth root, preserves jawbone, and delivers a result that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
A dental implant is designed to replace your missing tooth from root to crown. It consists of three parts: a titanium implant fixture placed in the jawbone, an abutment that connects the implant to the restoration, and a custom-made crown that looks like your natural tooth.
Once placed, the implant bonds naturally with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong and stable foundation that allows implants to feel secure and function like real teeth.
Unlike bridges, implants do not require reshaping healthy neighboring teeth. Unlike dentures, they stay fixed in place and don’t move when speaking or eating.
Many patients comparing tooth replacement options look first at upfront cost — but the better question is long-term value. Dental implants do more than fill a gap. They replace the tooth root, help preserve jawbone, protect neighboring teeth, and provide the most natural long-term result.
Implant cost depends on how many teeth are being replaced, whether bone grafting is needed, and the type of restoration chosen. During your consultation, we’ll give you a clear treatment plan and honest pricing with no surprises.
Ideal for replacing one missing tooth with a natural-looking permanent solution.
Strategic implant solutions can replace several missing teeth efficiently.
Advanced full-arch options restore complete function and confidence.
CBCT 3D imaging evaluates bone volume and anatomy. We assess candidacy, discuss options, and create a detailed treatment plan with timeline and costs.
The titanium fixture is placed into the jawbone in a minor surgical procedure. Local anesthesia and sedation available. Most patients return to normal activity within 1–2 days.
The implant fuses with the jawbone over 3–6 months — creating the stable, permanent foundation that makes implants superior to all other replacement options.
A custom porcelain or zirconia crown is attached to the implant — matched precisely to the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. Indistinguishable from a natural tooth.

“My implant was placed and restored here without a single referral. One team, one office, total confidence throughout. The result is indistinguishable from my real teeth.”
“I was quoted $5,000 for a bridge that would require grinding down two healthy teeth. Got an implant instead for slightly more and kept my healthy teeth. It was the right call.”
“The team explained every step clearly. I felt comfortable from the consultation to the final crown.”
Most adults in good general health with adequate bone density are candidates. Medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can affect success rates. A comprehensive consultation with 3D imaging is the only way to confirm candidacy.
The implant fixture itself can last a lifetime in healthy patients — 20, 30, 40+ years well-documented. The crown typically lasts 15–25 years before replacement may be needed due to normal wear.
A single implant at Onalaska Smiles Dental typically varies depending on whether bone grafting is needed, crown material selected, and other individual factors. Complete itemized estimate provided at consultation. Financing available.
Performed under local anesthesia — pressure but no pain during the procedure. Most patients are surprised by how manageable recovery is — mild soreness for 2–5 days, controlled with OTC pain relievers or prescribed medication.
Exactly the same way you care for natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss, and keep regular cleanings and exams. Implants can develop peri-implantitis if oral hygiene is neglected, so consistent home care matters.
