I have been going to BC Nelson for many years. He and his staff are very friendly and professional. The quality of care I have received from BC over the years is outstanding. He cares about his patients and always calls to check up on you after any procedures. He has recently helped me navigate through some unique issues that I do not believe another dentist would have handled as well as BC. I highly recommend BC Nelson!
Missing teeth affect far more than your appearance. They change how you eat, speak, and smile and even impact your long-term oral health. If you’re tired of dealing with loose dentures, gaps in your smile, or uncomfortable bridges, dental implant treatment may be the life-changing solution you’ve been looking for.
At B.C. Nelson, D.D.S., we help patients restore confident, functional smiles with advanced implant dentistry — all in one trusted office.
What Is Dental Implant Treatment?
Dental implant treatment replaces missing teeth using small titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone. These implants act like artificial tooth roots. Once they heal and fuse with the bone, custom replacement teeth — crowns, bridges, or dentures — are securely attached.
The result is a stable, natural-looking smile that can last for decades with proper care.
Why Choose Dental Implants Over Other Tooth Replacements?
Compared to traditional bridges and dentures, dental implant treatment offers major advantages:
1. Natural Look and Feel
Implants look, feel, and function like real teeth. Most people can’t tell the difference.
2. Long-Term Durability
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implants can last 20-plus years or even a lifetime.
3. No Damage to Healthy Teeth
Unlike bridges, implants don’t require grinding down nearby healthy teeth for support.
4. Improved Chewing and Speech
Implants stay firmly in place, so you can eat and speak with confidence.
5. Bone Preservation
Implants stimulate the jawbone and help prevent bone loss that otherwise ccurs after tooth loss.
6. Secure Fit
There’s no slipping, clicking, or adhesives — just a strong, stable smile.
Types of Dental Implant Treatment at B.C. Nelson, D.D.S.
Every smile is unique. That’s why Dr. Nelson offers multiple implant options to meet your needs:
- Implant Crowns – Replace a single missing tooth.
- Implant Bridges – Replace several missing teeth in a row.
- Implant Dentures – You’ll love this stable alternative to standard dentures.
- All-on-4 Implants – Replace a full arch of teeth with as few as four implants.
This wide range of solutions allows us to customize your dental implant treatment for both function and appearance.
What Makes B.C. Nelson, D.D.S. Different?
Choosing the right dentist is just as important as choosing implants.
1. One Doctor, One Office, Complete Care
Dr. Nelson places the implants himself and then attaches the replacement teeth. Many dental offices outsource implant placement to specialists. This can mean more appointments, more cost, and less continuity of care.
Here, your entire dental implant treatment happens under one roof with a dentist who knows your case inside and out.
2. Multiple Implant Solutions Available
From single-tooth implants to full-arch All-on-4 restorations, Dr. Nelson offers a complete range of implant options—so you’re never limited to a one-size-fits-all solution.
3. Implant Preparation Services In-House
Not everyone is immediately ready for implants. Dr. Nelson provides the services you may need to prepare your mouth, including tooth extractions, bone grafts, and gum grafts. If you’ve suffered bone loss, these treatments can improve your chances of long-term implant success.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implant Treatment?
Most adults with missing teeth are good candidates, but several factors are considered:
Ideal Candidates Typically Have:
- Good overall health
- Healthy gums
- Adequate jawbone density
- Good oral hygiene habits
- No uncontrolled medical conditions
Issues That Could Prevent Implant Placement
Some conditions may delay or prevent dental implant treatment, including:
- Severe bone loss without grafting
- Advanced gum disease
- Heavy smoking or tobacco use
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Certain autoimmune disorders
- Poor oral hygiene
- Active infections in the mouth
The good news? Many of these issues can be treated or managed.
