Dental Implants in Meridian, ID

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are the gold standard for stability, function, and aesthetics. At Aesthetic Smiles in Meridian, ID, we offer expertly placed and restored dental implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Whether you're missing a single tooth or require full-arch replacement, our experienced team is here to help you smile with confidence again.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once healed, the implant is topped with a custom-made restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. The result is a secure, permanent solution that supports natural function and helps preserve your jawbone and facial structure.

• Permanent and Long-Lasting – Designed to last decades with proper care
• Natural Appearance – Custom restorations blend beautifully with your smile
• Improved Function – Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling without worry
• Bone Preservation – Stimulates the jawbone and prevents bone loss
• No Impact on Neighboring Teeth – Unlike dental bridges, implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support

Dental implants are ideal for patients looking for a long-term alternative to removable dentures or traditional bridges.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are good candidates for dental implants. At Aesthetic Smiles, we conduct a thorough evaluation using advanced imaging technology to determine whether implants are right for you. Even if you've been told you're not a candidate elsewhere, we may be able to help with bone grafting or other preparatory procedures.

Step 1: Personalized Consultation

During your first visit, Dr. Wade Pilling or Dr. Jordan Pilling will review your health history, take diagnostic scans, and discuss your goals to develop a custom treatment plan.

Step 2: Surgical Placement

The titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone with precision and care. We use guided technology to ensure optimal placement for stability and aesthetics.

Step 3: Healing & Integration

Over several months, the implant fuses with your bone in a process called osseointegration. During this time, you may wear a temporary restoration.

Step 4: Final Restoration

Once healed, your permanent crown, bridge, or denture is attached—crafted to match your smile in shape, shade, and function.

How long do dental implants last?

Does getting an implant hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Sedation options are available for added comfort.

Can I get a dental implant the same day as a tooth extraction?
In many cases, yes. Our doctors will evaluate your bone health and determine the best timing for your implant.

What if I’m missing multiple teeth?
Implants can support bridges or full dentures for patients missing several or all of their teeth, offering greater stability than traditional options.
