Tooth loss can make people feel self-conscious and impact dental function, inhibiting their ability to speak clearly and eat what they want.
At Stubbs Dental in Bountiful, Layton, Murray, and Lehi we can restore an incomplete smile by replacing missing teeth with dental implants.

If You Have One or Several Missing Teeth, You Are Not Alone
*According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.
Tooth loss can occur for a variety of reasons, including facial trauma, gum disease, or an infection inside the tooth. Another authority on oral health, the American College of Prosthodontists, estimates that over 36 million people nationwide do not have any remaining teeth.

I love Stubbs. They have replaced three of my teeth now... I have been a patient at Stubbs in Bountiful for over 3 years now. They are wonderful! Best hygenist I have ever had (46 years old). They have made it affordable to have 3 implants done and the quality is great. I drive a little out of my way to get to their office because they are good...

At our offices in Bountiful, Layton, Lehi, and Murray, titanium and ceramic implants can provide relief for patients suffering from a range of oral health issues:
Irreparably Damaged Teeth
Although our dentists will always try to save your natural teeth, there are some cases where an extraction in preparation for an implant may be the best treatment option.
A Single Missing Tooth
If you lose a permanent tooth due to sudden trauma or severe decay, a dental implant with a custom implant-supported dental crown can help you regain a complete smile.
Widespread Tooth Loss
If you are missing several teeth in a row, our team can provide an implant-supported dental bridge that is fixed directly to your jawbone. For patients who are missing one or both arches of teeth, we can place natural-looking implant-supported dentures.
Other Qualifying Factors
Healthy Gums
Patients should be completely free from gum disease. When an oral infection is present, it can seriously hinder the long-term success of implants.
Good Oral Hygiene
Implants are impervious to decay, but patients are still vulnerable to gum disease. Patients must be willing to practice excellent at-home care and maintenance.
Adequate Bone Density
An implant requires a solid foundation so patients considering this treatment option should have healthy, strong bone tissue. If not, a bone graft procedure can be performed.
Good Overall Health
Individuals seeking implant treatment should not have any serious medical conditions, particularly diseases that could inhibit the body’s natural healing response.What Does an All-on-4 Denture Look Like?

On your journey toward tooth replacement, you will make a number of decisions. Of these, none is more important than who will perform the procedure. The technological advancements in implant dentistry can only be fully realized when in the hands of a skilled oral surgeon or implant dentist. The doctor must precisely place the implant, ensuring optimal stability over a long period of time. Precision also equates to faster and more comfortable healing.
When meeting with potential surgeons, consider the following:
How many years has the surgeon been performing the procedure? Did they receive specialized training? Our dentists have years of experience and have undergone advanced training.
What types of options will I have regarding my comfort level during surgery? At Stubbs Dental, we offer general anesthesia and IV sedation for your ultimate comfort in a safe environment.
Do former patients recommend this surgeon for their work quality and patient interactions? We have featured several 5-star patients reviews throughout this page.
Will I receive skilled work at an affordable price? Will my doctor use the best materials available? We offer a range of materials and are committed to affordable pricing.

I just had my final appointment for the 4 on 4 dentures today. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’ve had problems with my lower teeth due to old failing bridges that I had for many years. I couldn’t afford individual implants so the chance of fixing my lower teeth with 4 implants was encouraging. I highly recommend Stubbs Dental! They have been fantastic to work with. Thank you Dr K and staff in Layton for taking such great after care of me!

Postponing your dental implant treatment can have a drastic impact on your oral health. While dental implants and abutments are not usually covered by insurance, we make every effort to make treatment affordable. Financing your procedure can lower your up-front costs and allow you to make more manageable monthly payments. To help you overcome budgetary constraints, our dental practice accepts financing through:
Is Dental Implant Surgery Painful? Sedation Dentistry Helps You Relax
At Stubbs Dental, we want you to feel comfortable and relaxed throughout treatment so we offer two forms of sedation dentistry. These options allow us to help you reach a comfortable state even if you have dental phobia, difficulty sitting still, or are undergoing a particularly lengthy procedure.
General Anesthesia
Patients who choose general anesthesia will be under the care of a licensed anesthesiologist who can monitor your safety and comfort during treatment.
IV Sedation
Intravenous medication provides deep sedation that puts patients into a twilight state where they can still communicate with our dentists during the procedure.
Advanced Technology A State-of-the-Art Dentistry Practice
During your first visit, the doctor will perform a full assessment of your gums and existing teeth. Advanced diagnostic imaging helps the doctor assess tooth and bone health and determine the most appropriate locations for the implant posts. In order for implants to be successful, they must be completely surrounded by dense bone tissue. They must also be placed far enough away from the maxillary sinuses and the mandibular nerves. To make sure patients experience the finest available care, the offices at Stubbs Dental feature advanced tools including:
Digital imaging provides clearer images on a much faster timetable when compared to traditional x-rays. Digital x-rays can also be enhanced in an instant, allowing our dentists to pinpoint any problem areas.
Advanced imaging technology allows our dentists to build a 3D model of your upper and lower jaw. Our dentist can then identify the ideal place for the implant to ensure long-term stability and help reduce recovery time.

Dental Implant Treatment Timeline Step-by-Step
The length of time involved in your dental implant journey will vary based on a number of factors, most notably whether you choose traditional or All-on-4 implants. Traditional treatments may require that you wait several months before receiving your restoration. This depends on the amount of treatment needed to qualify for dental implant surgery.
In contrast, the All-on-4 technique reduces the treatment timeline for patients. We are proud to have patients walk out of our office with a full set of fully functioning teeth in just a few visits. The team at Stubbs Dental in Bountiful, Layton, Lehi, and Murray, Utah, will provide complete guidance and care throughout your entire treatment process.
What Do Dental Implants Cost?
If you are considering your tooth replacement options, you may have questions about the cost of this treatment. By performing every stage of the implant process in our office, we are able to significantly lower your cost while maintaining the highest quality. Our affordable dental implant solutions allow our dentists to frequently perform these procedures so we can continuously refine our approach and improve our skills. The dynamic pairing of cost-consciousness and exceptional care has made our practice a destination for implant dentistry.
The specifics of treatment that can impact overall costs include:
Preparatory Procedures
Procedures required to prepare your hard and soft tissues for implant surgery include periodontal care, extractions, or bone grafting. These require additional costs that are added to your dental implant treatment.
Number of Implants
Depending on the extent of tooth loss you have experienced and the type of restoration you need, you may need more implants. For example, an implant-supported crown only requires a single implant.
Size of Restoration
Typically, smaller restorations cost less than those required to replace an entire dental arch. Additionally, you will need to consider the types of materials used for your restoration which can increase the cost.
Type of Sedation
For preparatory procedures, you may only require nitrous oxide or oral sedation. However, intravenous sedation or general anesthesia is recommended for implant surgery. Both of these options are more costly than milder forms of sedation.
When weighing the costs and benefits, many patients go forward with the procedure, concluding that it is worth the investment. It is difficult to place a dollar amount on such a positive change to the appearance and functionality of your smile and quality of life. While dental plants have a much higher up-front cost, you can actually save money over a lifetime due to the reduced need for repairs and ongoing restorative procedures.
