Dental Implants in Camas, WA

Prevent Bone Loss and Restore Your Smile

If you have missing or damaged teeth, we encourage you to visit our office in Camas, WA, and consider dental implants. Dental implants are an ideal solution for replacing teeth because of their close resemblance to natural teeth. More traditional options, such as bridges and dentures, focus on restoring the appearance of your smile; however, they do not address the functional issues that often accompany tooth damage and bone loss. Dental implants are uniquely designed to replace a tooth from root to crown, allowing them to provide you with similar function to a natural tooth. This complete restoration also helps patients avoid bone loss and dental shifting. At Beacon Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, our philosophy is to put patients at the center of everything we do and ensure they receive an outstanding experience. Contact our office in Camas, WA, to learn more about how we can improve your oral health.

Benefits of Dental Implants in Camas, WA

Types of Dental Implants

  • Single Dental Implants. One single replacement for a full tooth.
  • Immediate Implants. Your surgeon will place an implant post immediately following tooth extraction, lowering the amount of appointments needed to replace the missing tooth.
  • Implant-Supported Bridge. Dental implants are placed to support a bridge where many teeth are missing next to each other, eliminating the need to grind down healthy teeth to fit the bridge.
  • DIEM® Full-Arch Restoration Multiple dental implant posts are inserted to support a fixed denture in the upper, lower, or both arches, giving the patient a completely restored and functional smile.

Dental Implant Surgery Procedure

The key to successful implant placement is ensuring that each patient receives personalized and compassionate care. The first step of your treatment will be the consultation appointment, during which your oral surgeon will review your medical history, take 3D scans of your mouth, discuss your options for anesthesia, and answer any questions you may have. It’s important to us that you are at the center of your treatment team and always understand what to expect.

During your surgical appointment your oral surgeon will place your implant screw into the empty tooth socket. In some cases, the abutment and/or replacement tooth will already be attached to the screw; however, these are more commonly placed at a later date. When the screw is in position and your anesthesia has worn off, you can return home.

Over the next several weeks to months, your surgical site will heal, and the implant will integrate with your jaw bone. If your replacement tooth was not placed during your surgical appointment, you will visit your dentist when the integration is complete, and he or she will attach the custom-designed crown. Many patients also discuss a temporary crown with their dentist to wear during the initial healing period.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Patients with missing or damaged teeth who are healthy enough to undergo an outpatient dental surgery are often great candidates for dental implants. In most cases, patients need to have enough bone left in their jaw to support implant placement, but we also offer several bone grafting surgeries for those who have suffered bone loss.

Contact our office in Camas, WA, for a consultation where your oral surgeon will examine your mouth and jaws and determine which course of treatment is right for your tooth restoration needs. Our office serves patients in Camas and Vancouver and will determine if dental implants are suitable for your smile.

Cost and Value of Dental Implants

The cost of your dental implant is determined by the number of implants you need, your insurance coverage, your choice of anesthesia, and if you require additional bone graft procedures. All of this will be discussed with you during your initial visit

Removable dentures and bridges cost less upfront, but do not preserve jaw bone health by preventing bone atrophy. They require special rinses for cleaning and must be replaced every few years. Dental implants are a permanent solution that allow you to maintain your oral health with regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits.

Denture Replacement With Dental Implants

Dental implants are the ideal solution for patients looking to replace dentures. Dentures must be replaced every few years, cleaned in special rinses, and removed during meals and brushing. Many patients find removable dentures to be embarrassing and seek a more convenient, long-term solution.

Dental implants are a great way to get your smile back and alleviate the burden of traditional full or partial dentures. Several dental implant posts can support a fixed denture in one or both arches, resulting in a brand new, secure smile. This treatment is known as full-arch restoration. Call us to learn more about this life-changing treatment and denture replacement in Camas, WA.

Types of Anesthesia

We offer several options for anesthesia to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

Cooper Reviews Her Dental Implant Procedure

Watch Review

"Hi, I’m Cooper from Camas and I came to Dr. Rehrer for a dental implant. When I first walked in, the people at the desk were very welcoming. They knew my name and they took care of me right from the start. Dr. Rehrer, when he came in the room, sat down with me. He was very clear. He was patient. He was funny, and he explained everything I needed to know right away and very clearly. I would say I had probably the best experience you could have getting an implant. They did such a wonderful job with the implant itself—the fitting of it, the matching of the color. I can’t even tell anymore that I have it. I highly recommend Beacon Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons."

"My name is Lynne, I’m from St. Helens, Oregon, and I came to Beacon Oral Surgeons for two dental implants. The team was fantastic. Everyone was very friendly and very kind and thoughtful. Dr. Lieblick was very professional. He came in, he extracted them, he put in the implants—it was magic. I absolutely could not believe how amazing the appointment was. I experienced no pain whatsoever. They are very permanent, they’re very secure, and they look great. I feel fantastic. If anyone is considering having dental implants, I would recommend Dr. Lieblick here in Vancouver. I drove all the way from St. Helens, Oregon, just so I could see him."

Frequently Asked Questions

How painful is getting a dental implant?

Patient comfort is one of our highest priorities and we offer many different anesthesia and sedation options to ensure you are as comfortable as possible. Simple procedures like extractions and implant placements may only require local anesthesia, while IV sedation is used during more complex procedures so you can rest until the procedure is over.

What is the downside of dental implants?

There are possible complications with any surgical procedure, but our doctors and team at Beacon Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons will provide you with pre-operative and post-operative instructions to guide you through each part of your procedure.

Do they put you to sleep for dental implants?

Having a dental implant is a surgical procedure which means anesthesia or sedation (oral or IV) will be used to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Though some may choose to stay awake during the procedure, many opt into sleeping for the sake of comfort and relaxation.

How long does implant surgery take?

A dental implant procedure can take 1–2 hours per implant. The length of surgery will be discussed with you during your initial appointment, and our doctors and staff are available to answer any questions you might have throughout the pre-operative and post-operative process.
