A dental implant is a titanium post that replaces your natural tooth root. Your Chesterfield Dentistry provider inserts the implants into spaces in your jaw where your permanent teeth used to be. The rise of dental implants over the past 10-15 years has been phenomenal. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), over 3 million Americans currently have dental implants. This is set to increase to around 500,000 per year moving forward. There are several reasons for this.
IMPLANTS
DENTURES
BRIDGE
Can last 10-20 years if well taken care of.
Usually last between 5-8 years
Usually lasts between 8-10 years.
Are integrated with the jaw, so they feel more natural.
Have to be removed before eating.
You can eat with a bridge, but it is not as natural as an implant.
Implants mimic the tooth roots and jaw, therefore, there is no damage to the jaw or surrounding teeth.
Dentures can promote jawbone loss. They can also cause sores in the gums.
Bridges can promote local jawbone loss. When you place a bridge, the adjacent teeth are also shaved down, which damages them.
Excellent cosmetic and functional result.

Excellent cosmetic result. Decent functional result.
TYPES OF IMPLANTS
- Single tooth implant: Single implants are used when the patient is only missing one tooth. It allows us to restore your smile without damaging the adjacent teeth.
- Multiple implants: Multiple implants are used when a patient is missing a few teeth. Several implants may be placed, restoring your smile and the function of your teeth.
- Implant-Supported Denture: For individuals who have no teeth, this may be the best option. Traditional dentures can rub against your gums and create sores. They are also removable. On the other hand, implant-supported dentures are supported by four or more implants. Therefore, they do not rest on the gums and are generally more tolerable and functional. You can eat with them, and they are only removed by your dentist for cleaning.
WHY CHOOSE US?
- We can place the implant as well as the crown; many places can only do one or the other. At our practice, our patients can have the entire implant and restoration (placement of the crown) process done in one place.
- We are likely more affordable. In general, having your implant and restoration done with us allows us to give you prices that are more affordable than the piece-meal prices you get from going to different places.
- We offer financing options that fit within your budget to give you the smile you have always desired.

“Bought a Groupon as I don’t live here and was desperate for a cleaning… Super friendly receptionist- I was a few minutes late but they were nice about it. Got me back right away, hygienist Kim (I think) was super efficient while being very gentle. I was in and out within an hr. All in all, a great team at Chesterfield Dentistry & would highly recommend as your family dentist!”

“I’ve had some bad experiences with dentists in the past. However, from the first time I called in to schedule an appointment with Chesterfield Dentistry, the service and friendliness of everyone in the office has been outstanding. Dr. Akinwande has been fantastic. Just had an appointment for a root canal and crown earlier today and couldn’t believe how quick and painless it was.”
