What Are Dental Implants?
People are living longer than ever, and while regular brushing, flossing, and checkups allow many of us to maintain our natural smiles for a lifetime, sometimes our teeth just can't keep up. If you've lost a tooth (or a few teeth) due to injury or disease, dental implants can rejuvenate both your smile and your oral health.
An implant is a synthetic tooth root in the shape of a post that is surgically placed into the jawbone. The “root” is usually made of titanium: the same material used in many replacement hips and knees, and a metal that is well-suited to pairing with human bone. A replacement tooth is then fixed to the post. The tooth can be either permanently attached or removable. Permanent teeth are more stable and feel more like natural teeth.
The ideal candidate for implants is a non-smoker who has good oral health, including a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw, and healthy gums with no sign of gum disease.
SINGLE OR MULTIPLE IMPLANTS
Implants are versatile. If you are only missing one tooth, one implant plus one replacement tooth will do the trick. If you are missing several teeth in a row, a few strategically placed implants can support a permanent bridge (a set of replacement teeth). Similarly, if you have lost all of your teeth, a full bridge or full denture can be permanently fixed in your mouth with a strategic number of implants.
ADVANTAGES OVER DENTURES OR BRIDGES
Conventional bridges and dentures are not fixed to the bone, and can therefore be unstable. This can make it difficult to eat or smile with confidence. Implants not only look more natural, but feel and act more like normal teeth, with a stronger biting force. And because they don't directly rely on neighboring teeth for support, implants don't compromise the health of your natural teeth. In fact, bridges are only expected to last seven to ten years, even less with root canals, whereas implants will typically last a lifetime.
POST-TREATMENT CARE
Consider your replacement teeth to be the same as natural teeth. They require the same daily brushing and flossing, and the same amount of regular checkups. Just like your natural teeth, the better you take care of your replacements, the longer they will last.
IMPLANT SERVICES
Our implant services include:
Computer-Enhanced Treatment Planning: We have special software on our computer that allows us to evaluate your dental CT scan in three dimensions for bone quality, bone quantity, and bone location, enabling the best possible placement of your dental implants. This also allows us to work closely and smoothly with your restorative dentist to ensure an ideal result where your dental implants are concerned.
Implant Maintenance: Once your dental implant restoration is completed, it is important to keep the area clean and infection-free. Dental implants can accumulate plaque and tartar just as teeth can. Whether you have just one tooth replaced by an implant or several, a professional cleaning schedule will be necessary to keep your implants healthy. The time interval for these professional cleanings will be determined by your individual needs.

Meet Our Dentists
Dr. Charles Duchsherer
I became a dentist because I wanted to help people. As a dentist, I find satisfaction in helping a patient out of pain, restoring someone’s ability to chew properly and comfortably, and improving a person’s smile.
Being a dentist is about connecting with people. I enjoy getting to know multiple generations of the same family, and sharing in their lives and happiness. I love hearing about the exciting things that are happening with them, and look forward to their visits as a chance to catch up with friends.
Dr. Amanda Terveen
I became a dentist because I love helping people and building long-lasting relationships with them. One of my favorite things about being a dentist is helping my patients reach an optimal state of oral health and once we get there helping them maintain it throughout their lifetime.
I believe in comprehensive quality oral health care and treating the person as a whole to understand the root of the issue so that together we can help facilitate the best treatment for each individual patient. My goal is to create an exceptional patient experience by being compassionate, clinically thorough, and providing excellent communication.
Dr. Lisa Kyllo
I really enjoy getting to know each of my patients and understanding what their goals are for their oral health. Everyone is an individual and deserves individual care; I always strive to make sure I know what each patient is hoping to achieve by having their treatment completed so that we can be sure the end result will make them smile.
We realize here at Dakota Smiles that a visit to the dental office is not the highlight of most people’s day. My hope is that our office can become a place our patients are able to relax and feel comfortable at. I aim to achieve this by walking patients through each procedure we do and taking the time to answer any and all questions that may come up along the way.
Dr. Barbi Weigand
Dr. Weigand grew up in the grasslands of Bismark, North Dakota. She received her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona—one of the nation’s newest, most advanced dental schools. While not in the office, she enjoys traveling, hiking and sports.
Dr. Weigand’s extensive training and expertise are complimented by values of exceeding patience, attention to detail and compassionate care.
Dr. Weigand loves children and always makes their visits a fun experience that additionally instills the importance of a lifelong healthy smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a wonderful alternative for treating empty spaces caused by tooth loss or for stabilizing a loose fitting denture. The procedure is virtually painless and is usually completed in 30-45 minutes.
Why Choose a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are a long term permanent solution for tooth loss. In most cases, dental implants offer the best aesthetics and can't be differentiated from your natural teeth.
Why is a Dental Implant Better than a Bridge?
Dental implants are a quick efficient solution to replace a missing tooth. A bridge requires cutting on adjacent healthy tooth structures or removing good crowns to close the space. Research shows a dental bridge has an average life span of 10 years and replacement becomes complicated when a bridge fails. A dental implant is maintained well, can last a life time.
How does a Dental Implant Stabilize my Denture?
Most patients that have had dentures for ten or more years have experienced a change in the way their denture fits and is retained. They will slowly lose bone over time making it difficult to chew on food or speak with their denture. A denture can physically be snapped onto a dental implant allowing for much more proficient speaking, chewing, and confidence in your denture.
