What Are Dental Implants?
Addressing unsalvageable teeth is critical to the overall health and quality of the smile. To help Beachwood, OH clients overcome extracted or missing teeth effectively, Dr. Lisa Browning is extremely pleased to provide natural-looking dental implants, like All-on-4®, for tooth restoration. A dental implant uses a sturdy post as a substitute tooth root. A custom crown, bridge, or full arch replaces the visible portion of the lost tooth (or numerous teeth). If you have missing teeth or need an extraction, schedule an evaluation at Aspire Dental Spa and inquire about your oral implant options.
What Should I Expect from Dental Implants?
The surgical approach for fixed implants includes the precise positioning of the screw and the attachment of a realistic dental replacement (such as full-arch dentures, crowns, or bridges). When your mouth is ready for the implant, it will be dulled with anesthesia. Oral-conscious sedation may also be used to allow you to feel more comfortable during your operation. The titanium screw will be strategically secured within the bone at the correct area and allow time to merge with the jaw through a process referred to as osseointegration. Once the surgical area has completely healed (typically 6 – 9 months afterward), Dr. Browning will set a custom-made implant denture, crown, or bridge and evaluate the alignment of your bite.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are commonly selected due to the impressive scope of health benefits they offer. As efficient restorations, oral implants:
- Provide better biting strength and lifespan of replacement teeth
- Could improve your self-confidence when having conversations and anytime you show your teeth
- Function as a reliable tooth restoration option
- Connect with the jawbone to maintain jaw well-being and function
- Will not make use of neighboring teeth to keep their place
- Seem like natural teeth in capability and look
- Encourage the intake of a diverse diet

Dr. Browning is the best dentist I have encountered in my adult years being responsible for my healthcare plans! I left for a minute because I wanted a dentist closer to home- BUT I am back and it was the best decision that I could have ever made for me and my son! I was amazed with all the technology and how professional and knowledgeable her staff was. I also got to see Dr. Browning in her leadership role teaching her team as she was noticing things! She is the truth and I am glad to be back home with the Browning Team!
I always have a great experience at Dr. Brownings office! The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable and they are always willing to take the time to answer my questions. I highly recommend this office.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my dental implants feel like natural teeth?
Yes, dental implants are created to closely mimic the function and feel of your natural teeth. Once fully healed, you should not notice any significant difference between your implant and your natural teeth in terms of comfort and functionality. You can chew, speak, and smile confidently, knowing your implants are stable and reliable. Many people forget they even have implants because they integrate seamlessly into daily life.
Can I get a dental implant if I have had previous dental work like bridges or dentures?
Absolutely, dental implants are often a great option even if you've had other types of dental work, like bridges or dentures. In fact, many patients opt to switch from removable dentures to implants because of the stability and comfort they offer. Your dentist will assess the condition of your existing restorations and the health of your jawbone to determine the best approach. Implants can even be used to secure bridges or support dentures for a more permanent solution.
Can I still get dental implants if I have bone loss?
Yes, even if you've experienced bone loss, you may still be eligible for dental implants. In many cases, a bone grafting procedure can be performed to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone before placing the implant. Your dentist will assess your bone density and overall oral health to determine if grafting is necessary. Advanced implant techniques, like using smaller implants or placing implants in areas with more bone, may also be an option.
