Dental Implants
Do More For Your Healthy Smile
Rehabilitate Your Complete Smile With Dental Implants in Tigard
If you are missing teeth, you may believe that foods like crisp apples and juicy steak are off the table. The truth is that you can eat anything you want with dental implants in Tigard, OR. We anchor replacement teeth onto implants that we embed in your jaw. With this durable combination, you'll gain back a strong bite.
In addition to chewing strength, implants give you:
- Improved Dental Health - Implants stimulate your jawbone as you chew. This keeps it healthy and strong. Implants prevent the bone loss that occurs with other replacement teeth.
- Versatile Solutions - From a single tooth to a full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. Williams can replace any number of teeth with implants.
- Easy Oral Hygiene - In most cases, you'll care for your smile by brushing and flossing your teeth like you always have.
- More Security - When attached to implants, replacement teeth won't slip or shift.
- A Youthful Appearance - When you lose bone mass in your jaw, it affects your facial structure. You'll look younger with implants, since they preserve your bone.

Work With One Dentist to Rebuild Your Oral Health
Some dentists refer you to an oral surgeon to place your implants in your jaw. After the implants heal, a process that can take several months, you're ready to have replacement teeth attached to them. Many dentists perform the second part of the procedure, but relatively few place implants as well.
Dr. Williams is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and a Fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. He is also in the process of becoming a Diplomate with the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry (ABOI/ID). By coming to our practice, you can have your entire dental implant procedure in one place. You won't need to visit an unfamiliar specialist. Dr. Williams uses the latest technology to create a computer-generated 3-D model of your mouth, so you get the most precise implant placement possible.
If necessary, Dr. Williams can also perform oral surgery procedures that strengthen your jaw and prepare it for implants:
- Bone Grafts
- Ridge Augmentation
- Sinus Lifts
If you have any anxiety about this kind of care, please note that your comfort is a priority as well. We offer dental sedation and local anesthesia to minimize any discomfort.
Choose From Many Dental Implant Treatments
With his advanced training and expertise, Dr. Williams performs many kinds of implant dentistry:
- Implant-Supported Crowns -Replace a single tooth with a dental crown attached to an implant.
- Implant-Supported Bridges - An implant bridge fills a gap created by multiple missing teeth. Unlike a conventional bridge, we won't need to drill into any of your other teeth.
- Dental Implant Dentures - Choose dentures that you'll remove regularly from implants for cleaning or dentures that remain fixed in place.
- All-on-4® and All-on-6 - Using a special technique that involves tilting implants, Dr. Williams attaches a complete arch of fixed replacement teeth to as few as four implants. This procedure is easier on your jaw than other kinds of full-mouth reconstructions since it uses only a few implants and allows you to get implants and dentures on the same day.
- Same-Day Smile - You may be able to receive your implants and replacement teeth in a single appointment.

Common Questions About Dental Implants
Can implants be done in one day?
Dental implants can be placed in your jaw in a single appointment. You may need to wait for implants to fully heal - a process that can take several months - before receiving your replacement teeth. In some cases, though, it is possible to receive implants and replacement teeth in one day. Dr. Williams, a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, a Fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and an aspiring Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry (ABOI/ID) can advise you.
Can dental implants fail?
Dental implant failure is very rare. Most studies indicate a failure rate of 5 to 10 percent. Factors that affect the success of implants include smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and bone density. Dr. Williams will consider these risk factors during his treatment planning. He also uses computer-guided surgery to place your implants, which allows him to make smaller incisions. This helps avoid complications during recovery.
What are dental implants made of?
Most dental implants are made of medical-grade titanium. This material is highly resistant to corrosion and breakage. It is also one of the most biocompatible metals. Biocompatibility means it is highly compatible with living tissue and fuses easily with bone. So your body is unlikely to reject it. Titanium has many other medical applications, including pacemakers and hip and knee joint replacements.
Do dental implants hurt?
Our patients usually experience only mild discomfort after getting their new implants. Your dentist will use local anesthesia to ensure your mouth is numb and you don't feel any pain. Plus, we offer sedation to help you relax and eliminate any dental anxiety you may experience.
