Missing a tooth or struggling with a loose denture?

Dental implants can restore your bite and confidence with results that look and feel like natural teeth. At Kuljic DDS & Team, we combine CBCT 3D imaging, guided planning, and a coordinated surgical-restorative approach to deliver stable, beautiful outcomes.

A dental implant is a small post, most commonly titanium, that replaces the root of a missing tooth. After placement, your bone fuses to the implant (a process called osseointegration), creating a stable foundation for a custom restoration.

An implant-supported tooth typically has three parts:

• Implant (post): replaces the tooth root and integrates with the jawbone.
• Abutment: a connector that attaches to the implant.
• Restoration: the visible part—a crown, a bridge, or a full-arch prosthesis/overdenture—designed to match your smile and bite.

Because implants stimulate the jaw like natural roots, they help preserve bone volume and support your facial profile over time.

• Long-term stability & comfort
  Implants are anchored in bone, so they don’t shift or rub the gums. Everyday chewing feels natural.
• Helps preserve jawbone
  The implant acts like a tooth root, helping slow bone loss after an extraction.
• Protects neighboring teeth
  Unlike a traditional bridge, a single implant doesn’t require shaping adjacent teeth.
• Natural look & confidence
  Custom ceramics are color-matched and blend seamlessly with your smile, restoring both appearance and function.
• Clear speech & better chewing
  Stable teeth reduce clicking, slipping, and diet limitations common with loose dentures.
• Everyday care is straightforward
  Brush and clean around implants just as you would natural teeth, using a few simple tools (see the care guide below).

Daily home care

Brush your teeth twice daily with a soft brush and a low-abrasive toothpaste. Clean around the implant crown or bridge using floss threaders or “superfloss,” and an interdental brush with nylon-coated wire. A water flosser is a helpful adjunct, especially under bridges and around full-arch restorations.

If you wear an implant overdenture

Remove and clean the denture daily. Gently brush the implant attachments (locators/bars) and the underside of the denture. Soak liners as directed to reduce buildup and odors.

Professional maintenance

Most patients do well with 3–6 month professional cleanings, tailored to your risk factors. We’ll monitor the health of the tissues around your implants and take periodic images as needed.

Protect your investment

If you clench or grind, a custom nightguard helps protect implants and natural teeth. Avoid using teeth to open packages or bite very hard items (e.g., ice). Smoking and uncontrolled gum inflammation increase the risk of peri-implant disease—ask us for a personalized prevention plan.

Call us if you notice

Persistent bleeding, swelling, tenderness, a bad taste/odor, looseness, or changes in the way your teeth touch. Early evaluation prevents small issues from becoming major problems.

Background/ situation: Patient wanted the most reliable and long lasting solution for her broken front tooth.

Solution: We recommended removing the remaining root and placing an implant that would match her remaining tooth and restore her smile.

Background/ situation: Patient wanted the most long lasting solution for his failing front tooth and wanted to “upgrade” his smile with brighter teeth.

Solution: We recommended replacing his failing tooth with an implant, whitening his teeth and composite bondings on teeth that had exposed roots.

Background/ situation: Patient was unhappy with previous restoration complaining they did not naturally match her other teeth. She was also experiencing constant discomfort in her face and neck.

Solution: We recommended orthodontics to align her teeth and home whitening to achieve the desired shade of teeth. We then replaced her bridges with two implants resulting in a terrific, natural look.
