What are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth root used to anchor a crown. The implant is usually made of a titanium alloy, which is well-suited for pairing with human bone. For this reason, it's also the same material that doctors use for many replacement hips and knees.


Our dentist provides the following dental implant services:

Dr. Yun will fix the replacement tooth to the titanium post. The tooth can be either a permanent attachment or removable. Permanent teeth are more stable and feel more like natural teeth.

A dental implant also exerts pressure on the jawbone. This stops the body from absorbing the minerals in your jaw to use elsewhere.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. They're also designed to fuse with bone, so they become permanent.
  • Improved Speech: Poor-fitting dentures can slip and cause you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that your teeth might slip.
  • Improved Comfort: Dental implants become a part of you. This removes the discomfort of having to wear removable dentures.
  • Easier Eating: Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth. This allows you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain. Enjoy more food with dental implants!
  • Improved Self-Esteem: Dental implants can give you back your smile and confidence.
  • Improved Oral Health: To place a tooth-supported bridge, we'd have to file down the teeth on both sides of the gap. But we can leave the other teeth intact if we're placing an implant. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
  • Durability: Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
  • Convenience: It can be inconvenient and embarrassing to remove dentures. Denture adhesives can also be messy to use. But you'll never have to deal with these problems if you choose dental implants.

Who is a Candidate?

Have you recently lost a tooth? To be a candidate for dental implant surgery, you need enough bone in your jaw to support an implant. The ideal candidate is a non-smoker with healthy gums.

Keep in mind that you don't have to be the "perfect" candidate to get dental implants. For example, many people are able to restore their smiles with mini dental implants. These don’t need as much jawbone tissue as their full-sized counterparts.

Our Dental Implant Process


Dental Implants Grand Rapids Dentist

1. Consultation with our Dental Implant Dentist

The first step is to schedule a consultation with our dental implant dentist. Dr. Yun will take 3D Cone Beam to determine if you are a candidate for the tooth implant procedure.

Your journey will depend on the type of dental implants you choose. The traditional dental implant process takes several months. But mini implants take only one appointment to place.

2.) Treatment Planning

Our dentist uses implant planning software like Trios and 3D Diagnostix. Dr. Yun takes 3D images of your teeth, gums, and jaws so he can plan the perfect dental implant placement.

Whether you need a single tooth implant or many implants, Dr. Yun will plan every detail of your surgery.

3.) Dental Implant Surgery

Dr. Yun uses minimal incisions to decrease your recovery period and risk of infection. This removes the need to cut the gums down to the bone. Instead, Dr. Yun uses 3D scans to check nerve position and the condition of your jawbone.

Dr. Yun will create a surgical guide ahead of time to allow for the precise placements of your implants. The incisions will be small enough that you won’t need sutures. Dr. Yun will also place a temporary crown over the implant to protect your mouth while it heals.

4.) Recovery

Once the surgery is complete, our dentist will review post-operative instructions. He'll also make sure you understand what you need to do while you recover.

Over the course of several months, your dental implants will fuse to your jawbone. This is a process called osseointegration. Once this happens, you’ll be ready to come back to our office to have the permanent dental crown placed on top.

Types of Dental Implants

All-On-6 Restorations

Are you missing all your teeth from your upper or lower arch? If so, our dentist may recommend all-on-6 dental implants. First, Dr. Yun will need to evaluate your jawbone’s condition. Next, he'll determine the best places to insert dental implants.

These implants will later support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth. All-on-6 implants look and feel natural. They also provide tremendous strength and stability.

Mini Dental Implants

Not a candidate for the traditional tooth implant process? Ask our dentist about mini dental implants. Mini dental implants replace missing teeth in one visit to our office. Our dentist may also recommend mini implants if you don’t want to wait months for tooth replacement.

During the procedure, our dentist inserts a titanium post with a ball on the end into your jawbone. The crown has a socket that fits over the ball so our dentist can snap the prosthetic tooth into place. Mini dental implants can also anchor permanent dentures.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Dr. Yun will use traditional or mini implants to anchor an implant-supported denture. One of the biggest complaints about dentures is that they slip when you’re trying to eat or talk. But implant-supported dentures receive stable support from the jawbone. They also help stimulate jawbone tissue so you can avoid bone loss and facial collapse in the long run.

Computer-Guided Implant Surgery

We don’t believe that there should be any surprises during dental implant surgery. That's why we make it our mission to know bone level, bone quantity, and soft tissue conditions. Our dentist is able to plan your entire treatment after taking 3D scans of your teeth, gums, and jaws.

Dr. Yun also uses surgical guides and implant planning software via Trios and 3D Diagnostix. This ensures that you receive the best dental care.
