Dental Implants at Dentist of Siouxland
Dental implants are durable, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth that help restore both function and confidence. Surgically placed in the jawbone, they act as strong anchors for custom crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants prevent bone loss, improve chewing and speech, and help maintain a healthy, balanced smile. If you’re struggling with gaps, loose dentures, or discomfort, dental implants offer a long-lasting, comfortable solution designed to help you feel and look your best.
We offer dental implants at each of our locations—both locations in Sioux City, IA (Lakeport St. and Hamilton St.), and our location in Elk Point, SD. Schedule your appointment online using the link below or visit our contact page for information on the location nearest you.

FAQ

Are dental implants painful?
Dental implants may sound intimidating, but most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the process actually is. With modern techniques, gentle care, and effective anesthesia, you’ll feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Mild soreness afterward is normal, but it’s usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

-
Will you provide aftercare instructions?
Yes, our team will give full instructions once your implant is placed. These can vary depending on your specific needs, but here are general instructions:
After receiving a dental implant, proper aftercare is essential to ensure a smooth and successful recovery. Mild discomfort, swelling, or light bleeding is normal in the first day or two. Apply gentle pressure with gauze if needed, use ice packs to reduce swelling, and take prescribed medications as directed. Stick to soft foods, avoid smoking, and keep the area clean by brushing and rinsing carefully. With ideal care, your implant will heal beautifully and provide long-term support.
-
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post placed in the jaw to replace a missing tooth’s root. Once healed, it securely supports a custom crown, allowing you to chew, smile, and speak with confidence. Implants function like natural teeth, preserving jawbone strength and maintaining facial structure.
-
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants offer a lasting solution for missing or damaged teeth, restoring both oral health and everyday comfort. They help prevent bone loss, protect surrounding teeth, and support healthy bite function. Implants also make eating, speaking, and smiling easier and more natural, enhancing overall confidence and quality of life. With proper care, they provide a stable, long-term option that looks and feels like your own teeth—helping you maintain a healthy smile and an active, fulfilling lifestyle.
