Dental Implants
Are you suffering due to one or more missing teeth? Do you want a solution as similar as possible to a natural tooth?
Dental implants placed and restored at our Sheboygan, WI, practice replace tooth roots and provide the ultimate support for restorations.
Why do your dentists recommend this solution?
3 Reasons Why Dental Implants Are the Choice Dental Treatment
Incredibly Strong
These devices are usually made of medical-grade titanium. As long as you take care of your teeth and visit our Sheboygan, WI, dentists regularly, your dental implants may never need replacement.
Jawbone Support
When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone tissue begins to recede. Unlike non-implant bridges and conventional dentures, dental implants stop jawbone atrophy from happening.
Confidence
Traditional dentures are notorious for slipping out of place and causing embarrassing moments. But implant dentures stay fastened, allowing you to eat the toughest foods without worrying about your dentures.
Start Your Transformation Today
Because dental implant treatment can span several appointments over the course of several months, you need a talented, friendly, and highly trained team to provide excellent care every step of the way.
Drs. Christopher Hill, Matthew Bistan, and Marc Stroobants are renowned doctors who have received extensive training in implant dentistry and are affiliated with the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and other important organizations. You can experience their world-class care by requesting an appointment online or calling our office:

A Closer Look at Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts that act just like your natural tooth roots. After a dentist places them in the jawbone, they begin to fuse with the surrounding tissue. This process (called osseointegration) creates a healthy, stable foundation for the long-term success of a patient's implants and restorations. Once osseointegration is complete, one of our doctors will attach an abutment to the top of the post. The abutment will connect to your final restoration—a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.
Dentists have used dental implants for several decades, and in that time they have shown impressive success rates. According to the Institute for Dental Implant Awareness, these devices have shown a 95 percent success rate. Because they are such a reliable, permanent solution for tooth loss, over 5 million implants are placed every year in the United States alone.
Dental Implants: An Option for Any Number of Missing Teeth
Patients come to our Sheboygan, WI, office with all levels of tooth loss. Whether you lost a single tooth because of an accident, multiple teeth as a result of dental issues, or all of your teeth due to extensive dental damage, this can be a great option.
Depending on how many teeth you are missing, Drs. Hill, Bistan, or Stroobants can recommend an implant-supported restoration that fits your needs.

Are You a Candidate?
Because of the constant advancements in the field of dentistry, most patients with missing teeth can qualify for dental implants. But prior to scheduling your surgery, our dentists will check:
Your Jaw Health
If you've been missing a tooth for a long time, it's likely that your jaw tissue has begun to recede. Because you need sufficient bone tissue, our dentists may recommend a bone graft or sinus lift before placement.
Your Oral Health
Because gum disease can increase your risk of peri-implantitis and implant failure, you will need to have a healthy smile before beginning implant treatment. In most cases, we can provide the dental treatment you need at our Sheboygan, WI, office.
Your Overall Health
Before clearing you for treatment, we will make sure you are healthy enough to safely undergo oral surgery. By quitting smoking and managing diseases like diabetes, you can reduce the risk of complications and help your body heal.
Do You Have Dental Phobia?
Many adults do not get the dentistry they need because of a fear of the dentist.
We understand and respect your concerns, and we are here to help you overcome your hesitations. Our office provides sleep dentistry. This form of sedation can help you relax during your treatment. Sleep dentistry also allows our team to perform more dental work in a short period of time, expediting your appointments and helping you get back to normal life as soon as possible.
Relax at Our State-of-the-Art Office
At Signature Dental, we want you to feel, comfortable, calm, and confident during your dental visit. Our spacious dental office combines the warm touches of home with modern, polished furnishings.
Our talented team also uses the latest techniques and tools to deliver a painless, efficient experience that feels more like a spa visit than a medical appointment.
Preparing for Surgery
Once you are cleared for surgery, the Signature Dental team in Sheboygan will provide a set of pre-operative instructions to prepare you for your appointment. In general, you will need to:
- Follow fasting instructions: Some forms of sleep dentistry require you to begin fasting the night before your appointment.
- Bring a friend: Sedation will leave you unable to drive for the remainder of the day. To ensure your safety, you will need a reliable friend or family member to drive you home after your surgery.
- Stop smoking: Smoking increases the risk of complications during and after your surgery, so kick the habit well in advance of your procedure.
- Take time off work: Plan to take it easy on the day of your surgery. You may also need a day or two to relax at home following surgery.
How Do the Parts Fit Together?
Six Steps to a Complete Smile
Every smile is different, so every procedure will be different. The length of your surgery will depend on how many implants you are receiving and the general complexity of your case. Because this is an outpatient procedure, you will get to return home soon after your surgery. After three to six months of healing, your implants will be able to support permanent restorations:
The length of your surgery will depend on how many implants you need.
