Dental Implant Specialist
If you are looking for a dental implant specialist in Utah, Greater Endodontics has got you covered. When it comes to major dental work, you should always choose a specialist in saving teeth.
While some general dentists may be qualified to perform oral surgery, they mainly stick to cleanings, fillings and other minor work. Our staff consists of industry-leading, highly experienced dental implant specialists with years of specialty training. With modern dental technology and techniques, Greater Endodontics assures a quick, safe and accurate dental implant procedure.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
A dental implant is an advanced dental procedure that involves the manipulation of teeth, gums and bones that requires more than one visit to your dental office. Dental implants require a surgical procedure that fuses bone to a dental prosthesis.
Dental implants have a 98% success rate and the prosthetics can last up to 15 years or more. To achieve this success, precise assessments and careful planning are required. At Greater Endodontics, we are just as concerned for your oral health as you are - that’s why we only work with specialists and oral surgeons when completing dental implants.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
There are plenty of reasons why you would want or need dental implants.
It may be necessary to get implants if you have missing teeth - whether due to infection, injury or your adult tooth never having been grown in the first place.
You may also decide to get an implant if crowns, bridges or dentures are either not possible or not what you want.
A dental implant will enable you to bite and chew properly, keep healthy teeth from shifting and help you maintain a natural appearance.
In the end, it’ll be up to you and your implant specialist’s recommendation on what the best course of action is for you and your teeth.
How Much Do Implants Cost?
Greater Endodontics offers competitive pricing for all patients. We accept various forms of dental medical insurance policies. We also offer financing options and payment plans with CareCredit. All-in-all, to receive an accurate price point you’ll need to go in for a consultation with your dental implant specialist who will assess what the best course of action is.

Things To Know After Getting Dental Implants
Your implant should heal within a couple of weeks. Dental implants, when properly cared for, can last up to 15 years. Your dental implant specialist will provide you with any additional aftercare instructions. Should you experience any difficulty breathing after your procedure, please call emergency medical services (911).
Aftercare And Recovery
- Brushing - After receiving your dental implant, you can gently brush the tooth/teeth where the treatment was performed. You should refrain from brushing the gums and should use the soft toothbrush that will be provided for you after your procedure. After a week has passed, you can return to your regular brushing habits, but be mindful that you may brush as normal after a week, but still, be gentle in the surgical site for an additional week.
- Rinsing - Rinsing after your procedure with saltwater/saline rinses are encouraged to keep the area clean. Do not swish aggressively, simply let the water/saline bath over the surgical site.
- Flossing - Do not floss or use a waterpik in the surgical site.
- Eating - Do not eat anything granular that could get stuck in the surgical site i.e. strawberries, raspberries, popcorn.
Pain Expectations
During your dental implant procedure, you will be numbed and under sedation. After your procedure, pain is to be expected. Pain and inflammation will peak around day 3 or day 4. After that point, the area should start to improve. The area will be tender to the touch for approximately 1-2 weeks.
Here are some remedies and recommendations on how to manage pain and improve recovery:
- You can apply warm heat or compresses to the cheek where the procedure occurred.
- Avoid drinking warm liquids as this can dissolve the sutures.
- Avoid using ice, as this can slow the healing process.
- Avoid using essential oils inside the mouth.
- It is recommended that you take Ibuprofen to aid in the healing of the bone and reduce swelling. Consult your dental implant specialist and primary care physician on what dosage is right for you if any.
