What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are innovative dental restorations designed to replace missing teeth. They consist of three main components:

Implant Post:

A titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a sturdy foundation for the replacement tooth.

Abutment:

A connector attaches to the implant post and holds the replacement tooth or crown.

Crown:

A custom-made prosthetic tooth attached to the abutment provides a natural appearance and restores function.
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement due to their durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer numerous benefits that make them an excellent choice for tooth replacement:
  • Natural Look and Feel: Implants mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
  • Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term investment in your oral health.
  • Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
  • Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require the alteration of adjacent teeth, preserving your natural tooth structure.
  • Convenience: Implants are permanently fixed in place, eliminating the need for adhesives or removing dentures for cleaning.

Why Replace Your Missing Teeth?

Replacing missing teeth is crucial for several reasons:
  • Preventing Bone Loss: When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone deteriorates due to lack of stimulation. Dental implants provide the necessary stimulation to maintain bone density.
  • Restoring Function: Missing teeth can impact your ability to chew and speak properly. Dental implants restore these functions, improving your quality of life.
  • Maintaining Alignment: Gaps from missing teeth can cause neighboring teeth to shift, leading to misalignment and potential bite issues. Implants keep your teeth in their proper positions.
  • Enhancing Appearance: Missing teeth can affect the aesthetics of your smile and facial structure. Implants restore your smile and support facial contours, giving you a more youthful appearance.

What to Expect When Getting a Dental Implant

  1. Consultation: Your dentist will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and possibly 3D imaging, to assess your oral health and determine whether you are suitable for implants.
  2. Treatment Planning: We will create a personalized treatment plan outlining the procedure steps, timeline, and any preparatory treatments needed, such as bone grafting.
  3. Implant Placement: The implant post is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation for your comfort. The site can heal for several months, and the bone integrates with the implant.
  4. Crown and Abutment Placement: The final crown and abutment is securely attached to the implant, completing the restoration and giving you a fully functional, natural-looking tooth.

Dentures Secured by Dental Implants

In addition to replacing individual missing teeth, we can also use the dental implants Davenport, Erie, Morrison, and Camanche patients love to secure dentures. This option is ideal for patients who have lost multiple teeth or require a complete set of dentures. Dentures secured by dental implants offer several benefits over traditional removable dentures, including:

  • Improved Stability: Dentures attached to implants are firmly anchored in place, preventing them from slipping or shifting while eating or talking.
  • Comfort: Implant-supported dentures eliminate the discomfort and irritation caused by traditional dentures rubbing against the gums.
  • Better Chewing Efficiency: With implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy a broader range of foods and chew them more efficiently, leading to improved digestion.
  • Natural Appearance: Implants support the facial structure, preventing the sagging and sunken-in appearance often associated with traditional dentures.

How to Care for Your Implant

Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity of your dental implant:

  • Oral Hygiene: Regularly brush and floss your teeth to keep the implant and surrounding gums healthy. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
  • Regular Dental Visits: Schedule routine check-ups and cleanings with the dentist Davenport loves to monitor the health of your implant and address any potential issues early.
  • Avoid Hard Foods: Avoid hard foods and objects that could damage the crown or put excessive pressure on the implant.
  • Healthy Lifestyle: Avoid smoking and maintain a balanced diet to support overall oral health and the success of your implant.

Megan D.

Hygientist, RDH

I grew up on Fenton, IL  and graduated from Erie High School in 2004.  While in high school I was a cheerleader all four years for football and basketball and was part of the competition cheer squad. I also enjoyed being in choir all four years. 

After high school I attended Carl Sandburg College in Galesburg IL and graduated in 2006. I knew as a little girl that I wanted to work in a dentist office. I enjoyed going to the dentist and was drawn to a person’s smile.  

I was fortunate to join the Cornerstone team when they bought the Erie office. 

I married my best friend and high school sweetheart in 2007. We have four children, Sydney born in 2010, Derek 2012, Josh 2013 and Lyla 2015. 

The Golden Rule is my favorite Cornerstone core value because it is what Jesus instructed in Matthew 7:12 “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…”

Hygientist, RDH

I grew up in Fulton, IL and graduated from Fulton High School in 2021. While in high school I participated in football, wrestling, and track. After graduation I attended Carl Sandburg college and graduated as a Registered Dental Hygienist in 2025. 

I got interested in dentistry because I had a great dentist growing up who was also my neighbor. 
 
I found out about Cornerstone through a coworker. I reached out and got called in for an interview. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and am grateful to have the opportunity to be on the team.  

My dad is a retired electrician, my mom is a nurse, and my brother is pursuing a career is Cyber Security. We love to do everything together, whether that be watching football, going on jeep rides, or visiting places. 

Family first has to be my favorite Cornerstone core value because in my opinion nothing is more important than family.

Business Assistant

I grew up in East Moline, IL and attended United Township High School and graduated in 2001. 

I had a job opportunity as a dental assistant and wanted to give it a try. After working 10 years as an assistant, I moved up to the front office. In December 2024 Cornerstone bought the office I was currently working for. 

My husband and I were married in 2008. We have a daughter (2003) and son (2011). Our daughter got married fall of 2024. We have a pit bull, Wrigley, that is a big part of our family (since 2018). We enjoy hiking, going on family vacations, and love watching the Chicago Bears play!

Family first is my favorite Cornerstone core value. I feel like it allows me to come to work and perform at my best.

Leea T.

Treatment Coordinator

I grew up in the Davenport/Bettendorf area. I’ve always loved the sense of community here. It’s been so nice to come full circle and be back in the place that feels most like home.

I graduated from Pleasant Valley High School in 2020. I’m a Covid senior! I definitely learned how to roll with the punches during such a unique senior year experience.
After graduation, I went to Scott Community College with the intention of becoming an English professor. Writing has been a consistent passion of mine! But after a few semesters, I felt the urge for adventure and decided to move to Austin, Texas on a whim! It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. 
 
While in Austin, I started working in Oral Surgery. Over time, I realized I wanted a better work/life balance while still being in a profession that helps people feel confident and cared for. When I moved back to the Quad Cities, I was lucky enough to find Cornerstone, where work/life balance is truly valued!
 
When I returned to Iowa, I quickly discovered how tough the job market could be! I spent plenty of time scrolling Indeed, hoping to find something that felt like “the one.” Once I met our office manager, Alina, I knew Cornerstone could be that perfect fit. Since joining the team February 2025, I’ve been given the freedom to use my creativity and grow within my role. I love that this position continues to evolve as I do!
 
My husband and I are coming up on two years of marriage, but we just had our official wedding celebration in September of 2025! We had the best time celebrating with our families. We don’t have pets or kids yet, but we both hope for a big family someday. I get to visit my parents often, and my little sister whenever she comes home from college. Family is such a huge part of my life, and being close to them again means so much to me!
 
It’s hard to choose a favorite Cornerstone core value, because each one spoke to me from the start. If I had to pick, I’d say The Golden Rule resonates most. No matter our differences, the Cornerstone team shows up every day with compassion and understanding. It’s comforting to know I’m surrounded by people who treat both their teammates and patients with genuine kindness and respect.
