What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is shaped like a screw and surgically placed below the gumline. They are designed to restore the missing root structure of teeth, integrating with your jawbone to provide it with stimulation and blood supply that can keep it from deteriorating over time. Once the implants have integrated with your bone, they also serve as a strong, unwavering foundation for any type of restoration to be attached to, including a free-standing crown, bridge, or denture.

Dental Implant Treatment Options
Based on your initial consultation with our team at Holger Dental Group, we may recommend one or more of the following dental implant treatment options below for you. Our team can help you weigh the pros and cons of each of your options as well as answer any questions you may have to make sure you make the best choice for you!
Fixed Implant Dentures
Our fixed signature implant denture package is a customized denture that is permanently affixed within the mouth to dental implants, sometimes called All-on-X implant dentures. The result is not removable and retained entirely by dental implants, making the restoration feel, look, and function like your natural teeth.
Snap-In Implant Dentures
Our snap-in implant dentures are another popular option for patients missing all of their teeth along an arch. They’re secured to dental implants for more stability, but they can be removed to be cleaned. These are a step up from traditional dentures.
Single Implants & Implant Bridges
For our patients looking to restore one or several missing teeth in their smile, we also offer implant crowns and bridges. These involve the placement of between one and three dental implants made to support either a free-standing crown or a dental bridge.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
At Holger Dental Group, we provide our patients with transparent pricing and detailed cost estimates, allowing you to make fully informed decisions about what treatment plan you want to move forward with. If needed, we can also walk you through your financing options to help split your cost into smaller monthly payments.
Dental Implant FAQs
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
With the proper maintenance, including bi-annual checkups and cleanings with our dentists in Minneapolis, as well as good at-home oral hygiene, studies have shown that dental implants can last for 20 years or longer. This is several times longer than traditional dentures and bridges!
Can You Extract a Tooth and Place a Dental Implant on the Same Day?
Depending on your unique circumstances, our team may be able to extract a tooth and place a dental implant on the same day with All-on-X treatment. However, our team can only let you know if you’re a good candidate after we’ve had a chance to examine your mouth, so don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation!
What Do Dental Implants Have to Offer That Regular Dentures Don’t?
Implant dentures offer patients a variety of unique benefits that traditional dentures don’t, which is why they’re such a popular treatment for replacing missing teeth among our patients. Because the dental implants act as an unmoving foundation for dentures, you won’t ever have to worry about them shifting in your mouth when you eat or speak, and with a lifespan of up to four times longer than regular dentures, they’re an excellent investment.
