Restore Beauty & Functionality with Dental Implants
Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial roots for replacement teeth. They provide a sturdy foundation for tooth restorations that look and function like natural teeth. As a health-centered dentistry focused on individualized care, we’ve chosen to offer dental implants because they:
- Preserve jawbone health
- Enhance functionality and comfort
- Offer longevity and durability
- Can be customized to each patient’s needs

Services for Dental Implants & Implant Restorations
At Moorkamp & Arthur Family Dentistry, we offer a variety of dental implant services to restore your smile’s beauty and functionality including:
Single Implant Restorations
Single implant restorations are perfect for replacing individual missing teeth. First, a titanium post is placed in your jawbone. Then, a custom-made crown is attached to provide a natural look and feel.
Implant-Supported Dental Bridges
Ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth, these bridges are anchored by dental implants instead of adjacent teeth, ensuring stability and preserving your natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
A superior alternative to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures are anchored in place by titanium implants, preventing them from slipping or shifting and enhancing your ability to chew and speak properly.
Dental Crowns
A custom dental crown can be created to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, which can be attached securely to your implant for lasting results.
Dental Implant & Implant Restoration Process
At Moorkamp & Arthur Family Dentistry, we practice “Health-Centered” Dentistry. Our team is dedicated to helping you achieve optimal oral health and a beautiful, glowing smile that you feel proud to show off to the world. Our process for dental implants is simple and includes:
- Consultation and Exam: Treatment for dental implants and implant restorations begins with a consultation at our office with one of our experienced Dentists, Dr. Stephen Moorkamp, DDS, or Dr. Charlie Arthur, DDS. A thorough examination is completed to determine your level of health and identify areas of concern
- Master Plan: Next, goal setting is instituted to create what we like to call a “Master Plan.” The purpose of this plan is to ensure the maximum protection and preservation of your oral health system. Some of the reasons that patients come to us for dental implants are missing teeth, discomfort when chewing, and loose dentures. If Dr. Moorkamp, DDS, or Dr. Arthur, DDS determines that you would be a good candidate for dental implants, they will work diligently with you to create a fully customized individual treatment plan. We use a 3D CBCT to ensure that you are a good candidate for implants and to make sure the surgery will be safe and successful. We also work with excellent and very respected surgeons to aid in cases that require specialty care.
- Treatment: We are able to carry out the entire dental implant process from start to finish in our office. We are proficient in the surgical phase as well as the placement of the restoration. (In other words, you do not have to go to multiple offices for treatment.) We use a 3D CT scan and place implants with guided surgery and also without guides. We can digitally plan the entire process and then, have a guide fabricated to place the implant in the exact location for the best tooth restoration. If extensive treatment is needed that requires a specialist/surgeon then we will walk and quarterback you through the entire process and restore all treatment afterwards.
