Dental Implants

Dr. Nickolas Felten has completed extensive continuing education in dental implant placement, offering patients throughout Maplewood, Minnesota a permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it has healed and fused with the surrounding bone, it supports a crown, bridge, or denture that looks and functions like your natural teeth. Implants are often considered the most durable and long-lasting option for replacing missing teeth.

Your Dental Implant Options

Single Tooth Implants

Replace one missing tooth with an implant and crown that blends naturally with the teeth around it.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Replace multiple missing teeth in a row without altering the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Secure a full or partial denture in place with implants for a stronger, more comfortable fit.

Bone Health Evaluation

Dr. Felten evaluates your jawbone health and density to determine whether you are a good candidate for implants.

Implant Placement & Restoration

From placement through healing to your final restoration, Dr. Felten guides you through every stage of treatment.

Long-Term Implant Maintenance

Routine checkups help keep your implant, gums, and surrounding teeth healthy for years to come.

The Importance of Dental Implants

Missing teeth affect more than your smile. Preserving Jawbone Health: An implant stimulates the jawbone the way a natural tooth root does, helping prevent the bone loss that often follows tooth loss. Restoring Full Function: Implants let you bite and chew with confidence, without the slipping or discomfort sometimes associated with removable options. Protecting Neighboring Teeth: Unlike a bridge, an implant does not require altering the healthy teeth next to the gap.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a senior citizen who had a troublesome wisdom tooth that needed to come out. My experience was good and the results are great so far. To say I was cautious about the whole procedure is an understatement; but Dr. Felton and his assistant went above board to assure my comfort. Many,  many thanks.
