Thank You Foothill Dental!
"Foothill Dental is the best dental office I have ever been to. I went into Foothill Dental a couple of years ago after not having been to the dentist in four years. I found out I needed a lot of work done... Dr. David Stohl spent almost 20 hours on my mouth and made my teeth healthy and beautiful again. I just want to thank everyone at Foothill Dental for being so kind and helpful." Chloe Mitchell

Dental Implant Tooth Restoration Options
We use high-quality materials to craft your restorations so they look like natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Crowns
Implant-supported crowns may be recommended if you are missing a single tooth. For these patients, our dentists will place a single implant. Once the healing period is complete, we can secure an abutment and crown to the implant.
Implant-Supported Bridges
An implant-supported bridge is recommended when patients have two or three missing teeth in a row. This treatment usually requires one or two implants in the jawbone.
Implant-Supported Dentures
If you are missing multiple teeth or all of your teeth, implant-supported dentures are the ideal option. Using this approach, several dental implants are placed in one or both dental arches.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants replace the tooth roots, giving them the ability to securely hold tooth restorations in place just like the natural teeth. They can be used to address any degree of tooth loss and can replace missing teeth in any area of the mouth.
The Treatment Timeline
If you have healthy gums and adequate bone tissue in your jaw, dental implants from our Salt Lake City, UT, practice are probably the best way to replace your missing teeth. In general, dental implant treatments involve:

So glad I came here! I have always had fear of dentists and they made me feel so comfortable! Dr. Bailey and her staff are just amazing. They got me in quickly, and explained everything so I wouldn't be nervous. They did not pressure me into any treatments that weren't necessary. Will keep coming here!

We love Foothill Dental! We’ve always received high level dental care from all the hygienists and dentists. Beyond that—they are the most friendly, caring, and fun office. The staff is amazing and works so hard to accommodate my 7 children I bring in... They also are very organized and give very accurate quotes for dental work before it is done. They are the best!

What To Expect After Implant Surgery
There is a four- to six-month healing period following dental implant surgery. Here is what to expect during recovery:
Initial Side Effects
Side effects like soreness and swelling are to be expected, particularly in the first 48 hours after your procedure. Apply an ice pack to your face to help reduce swelling and discomfort. Depending on the extent of your surgery, you may develop some minor bruising, but this should subside along with swelling after a few days.
10 to 14 Days of Soft Foods
We recommend eating a soft-food diet for about 10 to 14 days after surgery, or until tenderness subsides. During this time, foods like mashed potatoes, soup, pasta, smoothies, and eggs make excellent choices.
A Week of Rest
Many patients take a few days off of work immediately following dental implant surgery. While pain is usually minor enough to manage with an over-the-counter pain reliever, your dentist may prescribe other medications to help you with discomfort. We encourage you to get plenty of rest in the first 48 hours and listen to your body's needs as you begin to heal. Don't do anything strenuous until you are cleared by your doctor. A walk around the block during the week after your surgery is great; a high-impact visit to the gym is not!
Patients are welcome to contact our Salt Lake City practice with questions about their recovery. A member of our friendly team will be happy to assist in any way possible.
