Understanding Dental Implants: A Complete Overview
Dental implants are a revolutionary advancement in dental technology, offering a robust and aesthetically pleasing solution for those looking to replace missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants provide a permanent base for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are designed to match your natural smile.
Dental implants consist of:
A Foundation of Strength: The Titanium Base: Dental implants start with a titanium base, an artificial root designed for ultimate stability. This base securely integrates into your jawbone through osseointegration, mirroring the strength and support of natural tooth roots. This process ensures that your implant remains firmly in place, providing a durable foundation for years to come.
The Crown: Restoring Beauty and Function: Atop the titanium base sits the crown—custom-made to match your surrounding teeth in color and contour. This component is pivotal in restoring not just the visual aspect of your smile but also its functionality. Whether you're eating, speaking, or smiling, these crowns are made to perform as well as natural teeth while enhancing your smile's aesthetics.
Connecting Components: The Role of An Abutment: Bridging the gap between the titanium base and the crown is an abutment. It plays a crucial role in securing everything together seamlessly. By ensuring a snug fit between all parts of the implant system, it completes this state-of-the-art dental restoration process.
Customized Dental Implant Solutions
Tailored to address various needs, these options ensure that every patient walks away with a smile that’s not only beautiful but fully functional
Single Tooth Dental Implants: The Focused Fix
For those missing just one tooth, single tooth dental implants offer an ideal solution. These involve inserting a single titanium post into the jawbone, topped with a custom-crafted crown. This option seamlessly fills gaps without altering neighboring teeth—preserving your natural tooth structure while restoring your smile’s aesthetics and functionality.
Perfect for a Single Missing Tooth: Dental implants offer an ideal solution for replacing one missing tooth.
Streamlined Design: Consists of a titanium post implanted into the jawbone, crowned with a tailor-made dental crown.
Protects Surrounding Teeth: Bridges gaps flawlessly without modifying adjacent teeth, preserving your original dental structure.
Smile Enhancement: Improves the look and function of your smile.
Implant Bridges: Bridging Gaps Beautifully
When multiple adjacent teeth are missing, implant bridges provide an effective restoration method without relying on surrounding natural teeth for support. Anchored by implants placed in the jawbone at either end of the gap, this solution offers both strength and aesthetic harmony by replacing several teeth in one go.
Ideal for Multiple Missing Teeth: Implant bridges effectively restore adjacent missing teeth.
Independent Support: Anchored by implants in the jawbone, eliminating reliance on surrounding natural teeth.
Strong and Aesthetic: Offers strength and visual harmony by replacing several teeth simultaneously.
Implant-Supported Dentures: Stability Meets Comfort
Moving beyond traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures offer unparalleled stability through strategic attachment to dental implants embedded in the jawbone. Ideal for patients lacking sufficient natural teeth for conventional dentures or seeking more secure alternatives, these bring comfort and confidence back to everyday activities like eating and speaking. Each type is meticulously designed to cater directly to individual situations—whether you’re looking to replace a single tooth or seeking comprehensive solutions for extensive tooth loss. By offering Single Tooth Dental Implants, Implant Bridges, and Implant-Supported Dentures among our services we aim not just towards restoring what’s been lost but enhancing your oral health foundation for lasting smiles.
Superior Stability: Implant-supported dentures connect to jawbone implants, providing a firm and steady fit.
Comfort with Every Smile: These dentures are crafted for improved comfort, facilitating natural speech and eating habits.
Personalized Fit: Custom-made to suit individual requirements, these dentures restore function while maintaining a natural look.
Simplified 3-Step Implant Procedure
Consultation and Treatment Planning
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation, where we'll discuss your dental history, goals, and the best implant options for you. In addition we will take a CBCT (3D xray) to help with implant planning. Â We use this time to craft a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your specific needs. This step ensures we're all on the same page before moving forward.
Personalized Consultation: Start with a discussion on your dental history and goals to identify the ideal implant options.
Advanced Imaging: Utilize CBCT (3D x-ray) for precise implant planning.
Tailored Treatment Plan: Develop a customized plan that meets your unique needs, ensuring clarity and alignment before proceeding.
Dental Implant Placement
Next comes the placement of the dental implant itself—a straightforward procedure performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation for maximum comfort. During this visit, we carefully insert the titanium post into your jawbone, setting the stage for your new tooth's foundation. A healing period follows, allowing your implant to integrate securely with your bone.

Titanium Post Insertion: Careful insertion of the titanium post into the jawbone, preparing for your new tooth's foundation.
Healing Period: Allows time for the implant to securely integrate with your bone.
Crown Placement
The final step in completing your smile is placing the crown—the visible part of your tooth replacement that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Once we confirm a perfect fit and match to surrounding teeth in both color and shape, it’s attached to the implant post. And just like that—you’re ready to enjoy your smile.
Crown Attachment: Placement of the crown, the visible component that mimics a natural tooth in appearance and function.
Perfect Fit Confirmation: Ensuring the crown matches surrounding teeth in color and shape before attachment to the implant post.
Completion: With the crown securely attached, your smile is restored and ready for you to enjoy.

My kids and I had an excellent experience at this dental office! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in.

I've been a patient of this clinic for several years now. I was a little nervous when Dr. Sweaney retired and it was passed on to Dr. Patel, but that nervousness quickly left after having her a couple of times. She is so sweet and helpful, and does a great, thorough job. I'm sticking around!
Beau Williamson
My visit to Park Dental was a success in every way. Jann gave me a warm welcome and then I was greeted by Courtney, the dental hygienist, who gave me a superior cleaning with kindness and a gentle touch. Dr Molly Joseph then came in and performed a thorough oral exam, pointing out a gum problem which needed follow-up. Mel kindly ushered me back to reception. I look forward to my next visit. Thank you all!

I was very pleased and appreciative of the kind, courteous and wonderful care that the staff and doctors at Park Dental that I received on my last two recent visits. I was blown away about the state of the art of equipment that they used to better serve their patients. Dr. Joseph is a beautiful soul inside and out I thank God for her and Dr Patel. Much love and gratitude looking forward to seeing them and their stuff again. They have gained a new patient for life.

I have never been so satisfied with a health care provider. The entire staff at Park Dental is outstanding. Dr. Patel and her staff are so kind, and go the extra mile for amazing service. Beautiful and very clean office with state of the art equipment! As someone who truly is anxious about going to the dentist, I can finally say I do not want to go anywhere else!
Annamaria Balti
I've been looking for a local Hilliard dentist that I like for a while now. After my first visit here, I am confident in saying that I found my dentist. The whole staff was very nice and the office is well kept. Dr. Nash was well-versed and her attention to detail inspecting some of the past work I have had done was very astute. I would highly recommend. If they don't accept your insurance, ask about their in house plan.
Steven Brandt
WOW! Some changes have taken place including a new name and new doctors. I was MORE than pleased; I was HAPPY! Dr. Siddha Patel is terrific. She is so professional, down-to-earth, a great listener and fantastic communicator. She's what everyone would love to have from a dentist. Jill, as always, was terrific - she did my cleaning. Jill has a great bedside manner, honest, compassionate and friendly. They make a GREAT TEAM!!!!
