There are several types of dental implants, including single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, implant-supported dentures, and full-arch solutions such as All-on-4. Treatment is customized based on how many teeth are missing, your bone structure, and your overall oral health.
Dental Implants in Lincoln, NE
Dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring your smile. By placing a small titanium post in the jawbone, implants serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations. This advanced treatment not only improves function and appearance but also helps preserve bone and support long-term oral health.

At the Capital Dental Implant & Surgery Center, we use premium materials and advanced techniques to deliver a Capital Smile™. Each implant is carefully placed and restored for optimal function, durability, and a natural appearance, so you can enjoy a confident, fully restored smile.

Dental Implant Procedure
At Capital Dental, the dental implant process is carefully designed to deliver predictable, long-lasting results.
- Step 1: We begin with a comprehensive consultation, including digital imaging and a personalized treatment plan.
- Step 2: We use advanced technology to design your new smile and plan precise implant placement.
- Step 3: On the day of your procedure, we prioritize comfort with local anesthesia and sedation options, including IV sedation. The implants are then placed into the jawbone, and a temporary restoration may be provided.
- Step 4: During the healing phase, your implants naturally fuse with the bone.
- Step 5: Once healing is complete, your final restoration is placed—restoring full function, comfort, and confidence.
Dental Implant Aftercare
After your implant procedure, our team will review detailed instructions for caring for your implant-supported denture. You’ll receive written and digital resources, along with direct access to your doctor for any questions during recovery.
- Some swelling and discomfort are normal after implant placement. Use prescribed or over-the-counter medications as directed, and apply an ice pack (20 minutes on/off) during the first 24 hours to reduce swelling.
- Stick to soft foods for several days and avoid hard or crunchy items that could disturb the implant sites. Keep your mouth clean by brushing gently around the area and rinsing with warm salt water after the first 48 hours.
- Regular follow-up visits allow us to monitor healing and ensure your implants properly integrate with the jawbone.
- If you experience severe pain, excessive swelling, or signs of infection, contact our office right away.
Who Dental Implants Help—and Why It Matters

Implants restore chewing, speech, and confidence, allowing people to eat a variety of foods, smile freely, and live without worry. Seeing patients reclaim comfort and self-esteem is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.”
