Dental Implants
Are missing teeth affecting your self-confidence and limiting your dental function?
Dr. Gerald M. Lande can restore your smile with dental implants, the most stable and durable form of tooth replacement.
Discover how we can restore the health and appearance of your smile at Lande Cosmetic, Implant and Family Dentistry in Carmel, IN.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium rods that replace tooth roots by fusing directly to the jawbone, providing outstanding support for dental restorations like dentures and crowns. With proper care, dental implants can provide you with the same comfort, dependability, and confidence you enjoyed with your natural teeth.

Our dentist surgically inserts dental implants through the gums and into the jawbone. After the gums and bone have healed, implants can support restorations like crowns or dentures.

The Benefits of Dental Implants
Unmatched Security
Dental implants provide a level of support for restorations that allow patients to speak, chew, and smile with total confidence.
Natural Function
Implant-supported restorations are just as usable as natural teeth. You will be able to chew gum or bite into a caramel apple without worrying that your dentures will shift out of place.
Improved Bone Health
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone loses necessary stimulation from the tooth roots, which can lead to bone atrophy. Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants curb bone loss by acting as prosthetic tooth roots. Preventing bone loss maintains the strength of your bite and retains your facial features.
Enhanced Confidence
Replacing a missing tooth or missing teeth will give you a full, beautiful smile once again, enhancing your self-esteem. Patients with attractive smiles feel better about smiling for pictures, speaking in public, and laughing out loud, leading to a better quality of life.
Passion, Education, and Dedication The Difference Dr. Lande Provides
Dr. Lande has loved the field of dentistry since he was 16, when he first assisted in his father's dental lab. This genuine passion for the job reflects in his warm and friendly patient interactions.
It also leads him to regularly pursue continuing education, like the Greater Indianapolis Dental Implant Study Club, which he has been a member of since 1987.
Additionally, Dr. Lande's dedication to the field of dentistry allows him to retain prestigious affiliations with groups like the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) and the American Dental Association (ADA).

Tooth Loss Occurs Often
And It's Completely Treatable
According to the American College of Prosthodontists, around 120 million Americans are living with at least one missing tooth. Of that number, 36 million of them have no teeth at all. If you've ever felt alone in this problem, you're not. And you're not alone in finding a solution either. Our dentist is here to help, starting with a dental implant consultation.

Parts of the Dental Implant
The screw that's inserted in your jaw is made of biocompatible titanium. The titanium fuses to your jaw to mimic natural tooth roots.
The abutment is a small connecting piece that allows the restoration to sit comfortably on the titanium screw.
The type of restoration that's placed will depend on the number of teeth missing. The dentist can determine if you need a crown, dental bridge, or denture.

Improving Implant Success Through 3D Imaging
Dr. Lande utilizes the most innovative, modern dental technology at our Carmel, IN, practice to ensure top-of-the-line results. One particular tool that has improved the safety, precision, and success of dental implants is our 3D cone beam scanner.
The cone beam takes hundreds of unique images of your mouth and jaw and compiles them into an interactive 3D scan. The dentist can then plan the placement of your dental implants with better visibility and understanding of your unique facial features.
Innovations like the 3D scanner have greatly improved the process and the success rate of the dental implant procedure for our patients from Carmel, Indianapolis, Zionsville, and beyond.

All-on-4 Dental Implants
With the All-on-4® method, patients missing a full dental arch can receive full implant-supported dentures with only four implants. Using only four implants to support the denture reduces the costs and recovery time of treatment. Furthermore, because of the placement of the four implants, patients who have suffered bone recession can still qualify for All-on-4.

Dental Implants Are an Investment That Pays Off for Decades
Though the cost of dental implants sometimes makes patients hesitant about treatment, it may help you to know that dental implants can last a lifetime. As long as you practice good oral hygiene and care for your implants properly, you will likely never need to replace them.
Implants can also easily support new restorations as they need to be replaced over the years, so your crown, bridge, or denture will always have a reliable foundation.
Finally, implants can prevent bone loss, especially when a missing tooth is addressed early. This means that you won't have to worry about costly bone graft or sinus lift procedures.
