Are You a Good Candidate for a Dental Implant?

Dental Implants in Eugene, OR

Missing teeth affect more than your appearance — they impact your confidence, bite function, and long-term bone health. At PNW Dental, Dr. Tyler Peterschmidt and Dr. Susie Watkins offer dental implant solutions that look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once it fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom crown is attached on top, giving you a permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
Most adults with good general health and adequate jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, we'll take digital X-rays and evaluate your bone structure to determine the right treatment plan for you.

Implant Options at PNW Dental
- Single-tooth implants for one missing tooth
- Multiple implants to replace several missing teeth
- Implant-retained dentures for full arch restoration

Benefits of Dental Implants
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants are:
- Permanent — no removal or adhesives needed
- Bone-preserving — they stimulate the jaw just like a natural root
- Natural-looking — custom-crafted to match your surrounding teeth
- Long-lasting — with proper care, implants can last a lifetime

They have a great staff and everyone is very friendly

I came to this dentist a couple years ago because they were the only ones that could get me in on such short notice to have some work done and they have done an excellent job. Tyler is so nice and easy to work with and Natalie cleans my teeth and she is awesome too. They have a great staff and everyone is very friendly. I would highly recommend this dentist office to anyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Many people today are great candidates for dental implants to replace missing teeth. In the decades they've been in use, implants have transformed the lives of millions of people dealing with tooth loss.

A titanium dental implant is placed surgically under your gum and replaces the natural tooth's roots. As the implant heals, it forms a secure and lasting bond with surrounding bone and tissue.

The healing process takes several months, and when it is complete, our dentists attach a restoration like a crown, bridge, or denture to serve as the visible, functioning part of your tooth. The result is a full tooth replacement that mimics the form and function of your natural tooth.

At PNW Dental, we work with the most highly qualified specialists in our area who will expertly place your implant. We will work together to help you decide which type of restoration is most appropriate in your case.
