Dental Implants in Prairieville, LA

At Ascension Premier Dental, we offer advanced dental implants in Geismar and Prairieville, LA, providing a permanent solution for missing, damaged, or broken teeth. Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, giving you the confidence to smile, speak, and eat without worry. Whether you've lost a single tooth, multiple teeth, or require a full-mouth restoration, dental implants can be customized to meet your unique needs.

Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are anchored securely into the jawbone, promoting bone health and preventing facial sagging often caused by tooth loss. Dr. Calvin G. Bessonet III specializes in implant dentistry, combining expertise with state-of-the-art technology to deliver reliable, long-lasting results.

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant integrates with the bone—a process called osseointegration—it provides a stable foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or denture. This structure mimics the function of natural teeth, offering unmatched stability and durability.

Components of a Dental Implant

• Implant Post: A biocompatible titanium screw that fuses with the jawbone.
• Abutment: A connector that attaches the crown to the implant post.
• Dental Crown: The visible part of the implant, custom-made to match your natural teeth.

Choosing dental implants comes with numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options:

• Permanent & Durable: Designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
• Natural Appearance: Custom-made crowns blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
• Bone Health Preservation: Stimulates the jawbone to prevent bone loss.
• Improved Function: Restores full chewing ability, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods.
• No Impact on Surrounding Teeth: Unlike dental bridges, implants do not require alteration of adjacent teeth.

Most healthy adults with missing teeth can qualify for dental implants. Ideal candidates typically have:

• Healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density
• Good oral hygiene habits
• No uncontrolled chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes)
• Non-smokers or willingness to quit during the healing process

If you lack sufficient bone density, bone grafting procedures are available to prepare your jaw for implant placement.

Our Dental Implant Process

At Ascension Premier Dental, we ensure a comfortable, streamlined experience from consultation to final restoration:

1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Bessonet will evaluate your oral health using advanced technology like 3D CT scanning for precise imaging.
2. Treatment Planning: We create a customized plan, discussing options such as All-on-4 implants for full-arch restorations.
3. Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically placed under local anesthesia or with sedation dentistry options for your comfort.
4. Osseointegration: A healing period of 3–6 months allows the implant to bond with the jawbone.
5. Abutment Placement: After healing, an abutment is attached to the implant post.
6. Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown is secured, restoring your smile’s aesthetics and function.
