Why Patients Choose
Dental Implants at Wood River Dental
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement — permanent, natural-feeling, and built to last a lifetime. Here's why hundreds of patients across the Wood River Valley have chosen implants to transform their smiles.
Permanent & Long-Lasting
Implants fuse directly with your jawbone through osseointegration — creating a stable, lifelong tooth replacement that won't slip or shift.
Looks & Feels Natural
Custom-crafted crowns match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth — most people will never know the difference.
Eat What You Want
Unlike dentures, implants are anchored securely in the jaw — so you can enjoy all your favorite foods without restriction or discomfort.
Protects Jawbone Health
Missing teeth cause jawbone loss over time. Implants stimulate bone growth, preserving your facial structure and long-term oral health.

Why Patients Choose
Dental Implants at Wood River Dental
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement — permanent, natural-feeling, and built to last a lifetime. Here's why hundreds of patients across the Wood River Valley have chosen implants to transform their smiles.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium post fuses permanently with your jawbone, while the crown on top typically lasts 15–25 years. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene are key.
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so most patients feel little to no pain during placement. Mild soreness for a few days afterward is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long does the implant process take?
The full process typically takes 3–6 months, which includes healing and osseointegration. The implant placement procedure itself is usually completed in one appointment.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are good candidates. Key factors include sufficient jawbone density, healthy gums, and good overall health. A consultation with Dr. Nelson or Dr. Hill is the best way to find out.
What Our Patients Say About
Veneers at Wood River Dental
The front office staff were so friendly and welcoming. Dr Nelson was great! I needed to have a tooth pulled. He explained to me why and what my options were to address the area once the tooth was gone. I ultimately decided on a dental implant. So far the process has been smooth. Dr Nelson is a gifted dentist and I’ve been impressed by his work. I would recommend Wood River Dental Care to everyone! Two thumbs up!
