Dental Implants & Placement in
Las Vegas, NV

A Long-Term Solution for Missing Teeth

Tooth loss can affect more than just your appearance—it can impact your ability to eat, speak, and maintain proper oral health. At Blue Diamond Oral Surgery, we provide dental implant solutions designed to restore both function and aesthetics. Led by Dr. Kristi Agari, our team specializes in advanced implant procedures, offering patients in Las Vegas, Blue Diamond, Enterprise, Spring Valley, and Southern Highlands a permanent, natural-looking alternative to bridges or dentures.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium post that serves as an artificial tooth root, placed directly into the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone, creating a secure foundation for a long-lasting replacement tooth.

Advantages of Dental Implants

• Permanent Tooth Replacement – Unlike traditional dentures, implants do not require adhesives or removal.
• Prevents Bone Loss – By stimulating the jawbone, implants help prevent deterioration that occurs after tooth loss.
• Enhanced Comfort and Stability – Implants function like natural teeth, allowing for normal chewing and speaking.
• No Impact on Adjacent Teeth – Unlike bridges, implants do not require modification of surrounding teeth.
• Aesthetic and Natural Appearance – Custom prosthetics are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.

Types of Dental Implant Solutions

At Blue Diamond Oral Surgery, we offer a range of implant-based solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.

Single-Tooth Implants

For patients missing just one tooth, a single dental implant topped with a custom crown offers a seamless and durable replacement. This option restores both function and aesthetics without affecting adjacent teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For those missing multiple teeth, implant-supported dentures provide a more stable alternative to traditional removable dentures. These restorations attach securely to dental implants, eliminating slipping and discomfort.

Full-Arch Restoration

Patients missing an entire arch of teeth can benefit from full-arch restoration with implant-supported prosthetics. This approach provides a stable, long-term solution that looks and functions like natural teeth.

The Dental Implant Procedure

Our team follows a comprehensive approach to ensure successful implant placement and long-term stability.

1. Consultation and Evaluation

A thorough assessment, including CBCT imaging, is performed to evaluate bone density and determine the best treatment plan.

2. Surgical Implant Placement

A titanium implant is placed into the jawbone during a minimally invasive procedure. Patients have the option of IV sedation or nitrous oxide for comfort.

3. Healing and Osseointegration

Over several months, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, ensuring a secure foundation.

4. Abutment and Crown Placement

Once healing is complete, a custom abutment and prosthetic tooth are attached, completing the restoration.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most patients with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates should:

• Have adequate jawbone density to support an implant
• Maintain good overall oral health
• Not have untreated gum disease or underlying health conditions that affect healing
• Be seeking a long-term, fixed solution for tooth loss

For patients with bone loss, bone grafting may be necessary to enhance implant stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. The prosthetic crown or denture may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.

Is the procedure painful?

Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during implant placement. Sedation options are available to ensure a comfortable experience.

How much do dental implants cost?

The cost varies depending on the number of implants needed and additional procedures such as bone grafting. Our office provides financing options to make treatment accessible.

What is the recovery time?

Most patients can resume daily activities within a few days. Full healing and implant integration typically take three to six months.

How do I care for dental implants?

Implants require the same care as natural teeth, including daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.
