Dental Implants
Permanent. Natural. Confidence-Boosting.
If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the most reliable, natural-looking way to restore your smile — and your confidence. At Downtown Dental in Grand Island, Dr. Melissa Schuldt and her compassionate team provide expert dental implant care in a relaxing, modern setting that’s built around your comfort.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. After healing, they’re topped with a custom dental crown, bridge, or denture to restore full function and a beautiful, natural appearance.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
- Prevent bone loss & facial sagging
- Restore full chewing and speaking ability
- Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
- Long-lasting solution — often for decades
- Eliminate slipping or clicking associated with dentures
Unlike traditional bridges or removable dentures, implants are anchored securely in your jaw — offering unmatched stability, comfort, and aesthetics.

What to Expect: Your Dental Implant Journey
Step 1: Consultation & Planning
We begin with a detailed exam, digital imaging, and a discussion of your goals. If bone loss is present, we’ll discuss bone grafting or alternative solutions.
Step 2: Implant Placement
The titanium post is placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia. Most patients report minimal discomfort.
Step 3: Healing & Osseointegration
Over the next few months, your implant naturally fuses with the bone, creating a stable foundation.
Step 4: Restoration
Once healed, we place your custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture — matched in color and shape for a seamless look.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
You may be a candidate for dental implants if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Have a healthy jawbone or are open to bone grafting
- Don’t want removable dentures
- Are looking for a long-term solution
Not sure if you qualify? Dr. Schuldt will evaluate your oral health, bone density, and personal preferences to help you make an informed decision.

How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 20+ years, often for life. The crown may need replacement after 10–15 years due to wear.
