Dental Implants
Dental implants are a revolutionary dental restorative option that has transformed how dentists approach tooth replacement. Dental implants provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution to missing or damaged teeth, giving patients a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile. At Santa Fe Dental in Edmond, OK, we specialize in dental implant treatment, offering our patients the highest care and expertise. Led by Dr. Michael Hansen and Dr. Ryan Flake, our team is dedicated to providing personalized, comprehensive care to help you achieve optimal oral health and a beautiful smile.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a type of dental restoration that replaces missing or damaged teeth with a permanent, natural-looking solution. The implant is a small, titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone, fusing with the bone and creating a stable foundation for a replacement tooth or bridge.
Dental implants offer numerous benefits over traditional restorative options, such as dentures or bridges. They are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, and they can last a lifetime with proper care.
What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer numerous benefits over traditional restorative options, including:
- Durability: Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care, making them a long-term investment in dental health.
- Functionality: Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Aesthetics: Dental implants are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
- Convenience: Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants do not require special care or removal for cleaning, making them a convenient and hassle-free option.
Oral Health: Dental implants help preserve the health of your jawbone and surrounding teeth by preventing bone loss and maintaining the mouth’s structure.

Why Choose Santa Fe Dental for Dental Implant Treatment?
The first step in dental implant treatment is a consultation with one of our experienced dentists. During this consultation, we will examine your teeth and discuss your goals for treatment. We will also take X-rays or 3D images of your mouth to determine the best placement for your implant.
If dental implants are the right option, we will schedule a surgical appointment to place the implant into your jawbone. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and you may experience some swelling and discomfort afterward. We will provide instructions on how to care for the area and manage any pain or discomfort.
Once the implant has fused with the bone and healed, we will attach a small connector called an abutment to the top of the implant. This abutment will hold the replacement tooth or bridge in place. We will take impressions of your mouth to create your custom restoration, which will be attached to the abutment once it is ready.
We will monitor your progress throughout the process and ensure your implant is healing properly. We will also guide you on how to care for your implant and maintain good oral hygiene.
