How Can Implants Help Me?
Dental implants may be a solution to consider if:
You want to replace one or more of your teeth.
Missing teeth can lead to poor oral health and changes to your facial structure. Dental implants can restore your smile and revitalize your confidence. Our implant dentist in St. Louis can replace one, multiple teeth, or even full arches of teeth with natural-looking implants. We’ll help our patients fall in love with their new smiles.
You want to improve your health.
A full set of healthy teeth makes it easier to maintain good oral health and hygiene. This will reduce the risk of infections caused by missing teeth. With restored teeth, you’re more likely to reap the benefits of smiling. These benefits include the release of endorphins to reduce stress and enhance your mood.
You want to gain more freedom and confidence in your life.
Dental implants will help eliminate any embarrassment you might feel in social situations. You’ll no longer feel the need to hide your teeth from your family and friends. Feeling comfortable with how your teeth look will make you want to smile more, and leads to a boost in self-esteem. Dental implants will also allow you to speak and chew freely without pain.
Who Qualifies for Dental Implants?
Most patients are viable candidates for dental implant surgery. Our dentist will thoroughly examine your oral health to determine if you meet the requirements. For example, you’ll need to have good overall oral health and sufficient jawbone mass to ensure the surgery is successful.
During your consultation, Dr. Brace will examine your oral health and create a customized treatment plan that will address any needs before the dental implant procedure.
For your convenience, we also offer mini dental implants and All-on-4 dental implants. These solutions allow for faster recovery time and less invasive treatments. During your consultation, our dentist will explain the benefits of these procedures so you can make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
If I have gum disease, can I still get dental implants?
If you suffer from gum disease, you’ll need to eliminate the infection before starting your dental implant treatment. Gum disease interferes with the jawbone’s ability to heal properly around the surgery site, which may interfere with your implant placement.
Are there age restrictions on dental implants?
You’re never too old for dental implants, but you can be too young for dental implants. Patients should wait until their jawbone is fully developed to avoid complications.
Dental implants are the preferred method for tooth replacement because they can last a lifetime.
Unlike other restoration procedures, dental implants increase your bone density, thereby preventing deterioration. You won’t have slippage or difficulty speaking like with traditional dentures, and you’ll quickly become accustomed to their natural look and feel.
