What Are Dental Implants?
Seeing a dentist about unsalvageable teeth is vital to the total health and function of the mouth. Dr. Leah Gagnon is happy to offer high-quality dental implants for tooth restoration to allow Niceville, FL individuals to resolve extracted or missing teeth reliably. A dental implant comprises a sturdy post that serves as a stand-in tooth root. A unique dental crown, bridge, or full arch replaces the erupted portion of the lost tooth (or a few teeth). When you suffer from missing teeth or need a tooth removed, schedule an oral exam at Leah Thompson Gagnon, DMD, PA, and learn about your dental implant alternatives.
What Is the Treatment Process?
The treatment for oral implants involves the surgical placement of the post and securing a realistic dental replacement (including full-arch pieces, crowns, or bridges). Once your mouth is prepared for surgery, it is dulled with local anesthesia. Oral-conscious sedation might additionally be utilized to allow you to feel more at ease throughout your operation. The metal screw will be placed within the jawbone at the correct spot and given time to merge with the bone through a phenomenon known as osseointegration. Once the surgical site has fully recovered (commonly 6 – 9 months later), Dr. Gagnon will attach a custom fixed crown, denture, or bridge and check the alignment of the bite.
What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are usually favored because of the number of benefits they provide. As tooth restorations, oral implants:
- Provide better biting strength and durability of dental restorations
- Do not depend on surrounding teeth to remain in position
- Encourage the adaptation of a diverse diet
- Work as a durable tooth restoration solution
- Can improve your confidence with having conversations and any time your teeth show
- Integrate with the jawbone to sustain jawbone well-being and structure
- Seem like real teeth in performance and appearance

Did great as usual teeth feel clean
Absolutely fantastic Botox/Filler experience. Following a full, thorough consultation, the injection procedure was seamless. The results are perfect!!
In the last 3 months I have had all of my teeth cleaned, 2 fillings replaced and (my first crown) 1 crown completed. Dr. Gagnon's dental expertise was excellent and the service from ALL of her staff was outstanding. My teethe look better than they have in years. Additionally, within the last week my husband had a cleaning and 1 filling done, also a great experience! We are both very pleased.
She makes me super comfortable although I have anxiety about going to the dentist.
I hadn't been in for a cleaning in a long time, due to personal circumstances, and I was welcomed here without judgement. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and I learned more about how to take better care of my teeth! Highly recommend them for any dental needs :)
