While losing a tooth changes how your smile looks, it also affects how you eat, how you speak, and even how you see yourself in the mirror. For residents of Gilcrease and the surrounding Centennial Hills area of Las Vegas, dental implants permanently replace missing teeth from the root up in a way that looks completely natural. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, implants integrate directly into your jawbone and function just like natural teeth, giving you back the confidence to chew, laugh, and speak without a second thought.
At Naylor Family Dental and Implant Center, we specialize in dental implants for patients throughout the Gilcrease community. Dr. Brian Naylor completed his dental education at Indiana University in 2017 and provides comprehensive implant care in-house, meaning you can go through every stage of your treatment without being shuffled between multiple providers. We craft personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs and goals, delivering the best possible outcomes for your smile and health.
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where a tooth is missing. Over time, the post fuses with the surrounding bone, creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or other restoration. The end result looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Titanium is the material of choice for implants because of its remarkable compatibility with the human body. It is non-reactive, incredibly durable, and bonds to bone without causing inflammation or rejection in most patients. Once the implant has fully integrated, the restoration placed on top is virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth.
Research published in the National Institutes of Health’s PubMed Central found that dental implants show a 98.9% cumulative survival rate at three years and 96.8% at ten years in a large-scale cohort study, underscoring their reliability as a long-term tooth-replacement solution.
Most healthy adults who are missing one or more teeth are candidates for dental implants. A good candidate has enough jawbone density to support the implant post, healthy gums free from active periodontal disease, and no uncontrolled systemic conditions that could interfere with healing. At Naylor Family Dental and Implant Center, we conduct a thorough evaluation before recommending treatment, ensuring every patient receives the most appropriate plan for their situation.
Some patients require preparatory procedures before implant placement. If your jawbone has deteriorated due to bone loss following tooth extraction, bone grafting can rebuild the necessary volume and density to support an implant securely. This step is common and does not disqualify you from implants. It simply means that your treatment plan includes a preparatory stage before we place the implant.
We believe patients deserve a full range of choices for replacing missing teeth, including options suited to different needs and budgets. That philosophy informs how we approach every consultation.
The primary implant options we offer include the following:
Dr. Naylor often says that “dentures are for smiling, not eating.” That perspective drives our commitment to offering implant-supported solutions that go beyond aesthetics and truly restore function.

While every implant case is unique, some patients may be eligible to receive an implant in just one visit. In such cases, a temporary restoration is provided to protect the implant during the healing process, which typically takes between 3-6 months. During this time, you can speak and eat normally. Dr. Naylor will closely monitor your healing progress and take impressions or digital scans of your teeth to craft your final restoration. During your implant consultation, Dr. Naylor will guide you in choosing the best tooth replacement option based on your individual oral health needs.
With proper placement by an expert and regular maintenance, dental implants can last for 30 years or even a lifetime. However, it’s important to note that the restoration may need to be replaced over time due to regular wear and tear from chewing and biting. Just like traditional crowns or dentures, regular visits to the dentist will allow you to monitor the condition of your restoration and the health of your implant, ensuring the longevity of your smile.
While it is possible for dental implants to become infected, this complication is extremely rare and usually occurs when the implant is not properly cared for after the placement surgery. By following your doctor’s post-operative instructions, the chances of developing an infection are very low. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, to keep your implant and surrounding tissues healthy.
Yes, dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that can prevent bone loss. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone no longer receives stimulation from chewing and biting, causing it to deteriorate over time. This can lead to a weakened jaw and the shifting or loosening of surrounding teeth. Dental implants mimic the function of natural tooth roots by being placed directly into the jawbone. This stimulation from chewing and biting forces helps to maintain the integrity of the jawbone and prevent bone resorption.
Dental implants are made using high-quality titanium in reputable laboratories. These labs offer a variety of standard post sizes for the implants. The restoration, on the other hand, is a personalized prosthetic that is tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs and aesthetic preferences. Dr. Naylor may create the restoration in-office using advanced technology or send detailed impressions to a trusted laboratory. The laboratory will then craft a durable and natural-looking crown made from porcelain, which closely resembles tooth enamel. Once completed, the crown is firmly attached to the implant by Dr. Naylor.
A single tooth implant is a popular dental solution that consists of three components. First, there is a titanium implant, which is shaped like a screw and serves as the foundation. Second, an abutment is used to connect the implant to the restoration. The restoration is the third component and is typically a dental crown that closely resembles a natural tooth. Unlike removable partial dentures, single tooth implants are stable and do not move or shift.
