At Anthem Hills Dental in Henderson, NV, we believe that losing a tooth should not mean losing your quality of life. Proudly serving our active 55+ community since 2004, Dr. Michael Wilson is dedicated to providing restorative dentistry that feels good, looks completely natural, and lasts a long time. We know that replacing missing teeth can feel overwhelming, which is why we start by listening to your unique needs and wants. In our clean, inviting, and up-to-date practice, you will be treated like an honored guest while we help you regain your confident, complete smile.
The Life-Changing Benefits Of Implant Therapy
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are the gold standard. We always advise our patients to do it right the first time and never cut corners. Unlike traditional removable options, implants replace both the root and the visible portion of the tooth. This deeply anchors the restoration and stimulates your jawbone, preventing the structural loss that often accompanies missing teeth. The ultimate benefit is a strong, secure restoration that functions flawlessly and mimics your natural teeth in every way.
Versatile Single Tooth & Full-Arch Solutions
Whether you are missing one tooth or require comprehensive restorative care, we offer solutions tailored to your unique anatomy.
- Single implants: Perfect for replacing an isolated missing tooth without altering the adjacent healthy teeth.
- Implant-supported bridges: An excellent option for bridging a gap of several missing teeth in a row.
- Full-arch restorations: For patients needing full-mouth restorations, we can anchor a complete arch of custom teeth securely to a few strategically placed implants for maximum stability.
Advanced Digital Planning & Diagnostics
Precision is everything in restorative dentistry. We utilize state-of-the-art technology, including iTero digital scanners and CBCT 3D imaging, to capture highly detailed digital x-rays of your jaw. This allows us to digitally plan your exact surgical placement before your procedure begins. By mapping out the precise angle and depth of your implant, we ensure an efficient, predictable process that completely respects your time.
Preparing Your Smile & Bone Grafting
A successful implant requires a strong, healthy foundation. During your comprehensive exam, we will carefully evaluate your bone density. If your jawbone lacks the volume needed to securely hold an implant, we may recommend a preliminary bone grafting procedure. This essential step builds up the necessary structural support, ensuring your final restoration is stable and built to last a long time.
The Surgical Placement Journey
We understand that dental anxiety is real, so we go out of our way to make your placement procedure comfortable and stress-free. Our experienced team will gently place the titanium implant post into your jawbone. Because we use advanced digital planning and prioritize your comfort at every step, the procedure is highly precise. Afterward, a healing period allows the implant to fuse naturally with your bone, creating an artificial root.
Restoring Your Function & Natural Appearance
Once your implant has fully integrated, it is time to attach your custom restoration. We collaborate exclusively with the best local lab to craft beautiful porcelain crowns and full-arch prosthetics. Dr. Wilson brings extensive training from the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies to ensure your new teeth seamlessly match your facial aesthetics. In fact, Dr. Wilson trusts this exact same high-quality work in his own mouth, so you can be confident you are receiving the very best.
Dedicated Long-Term Maintenance
We want your investment to thrive. Maintaining your implants requires the same diligent care as your natural teeth. You should brush and floss daily while continuing to attend your routine check-ups. During your regular visits, our dedicated team will provide expert hygiene therapy, monitor your gum tissue, and ensure your bite remains perfectly balanced so you can confidently enjoy your restored smile for decades to come.
