Dental Implants

Oak Mountain Dental

Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth. They are very durable and can last for many years, or even a lifetime.

When a patient is missing one or more teeth, Dr. Jake R. Richards, Dr. Mitch J Driscoll and Dr. Brandon Call may recommend dental implants in Pocatello, Idaho. A dental implant consists of a titanium implant post and an implant restoration. The implant post is surgically placed in your jawbone by a specialist, where it acts as replacement tooth roots. The implant restoration, which can be a dental crown, a dental bridge, or dentures, is attached to the implant post by our dentist.

Advantages of dental implants

Dental implants have many advantages. The implant post fuses with your jawbone, making the dental implant a permanent part of your smile. Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth. Dental implants are very durable and can last for many years, or even a lifetime. Dental implants improve your overall oral health because they do not require tooth reduction like dental bridges do. Implants have several advantages over dentures. Dentures can slide and slip in your mouth, which can make eating difficult. However, dental implants function like your natural teeth, so you can eat whatever you like with ease. Because dentures slip, they can cause you to mumble or slur when you speak. Because dental implants cannot slip, you can speak properly.

I absolutely love Oak Mountain Dental. I have always had a fear of the dentist so I had been in the market for one that I would be comfortable with. Dr. Brandon is so kind and caring. He truly makes me feel like I am getting the best care out there. The entire staff is so nice and very helpful. I have zero fear with them and I feel extremely comfortable with taking my kids to him. I always recommend them to anyone who asks.

Jeffery W.

The staff was very friendly. They were ready and expecting us. We didn't even have a chance to sit down. They got us right in and started working on us. The hygienist was very thorough and professional. Dr. Richards then went over the condition of the teeth and gums, with follow-up questions. The whole experience was excellent and timely. And we couldn't argue about the cost.

I first came to Oak Mountain Dental because I had a broken tooth. They got me in quickly and fixed me up. They were professional and very caring. Dr. Richards was amazing and I felt confident that I was getting the best dental care. I have since been for a cleaning and met more of the staff who were all so great. Dr. Brandon explained everything well and was attentive and thorough. I’m so glad to have such a great dental clinic here in Pocatello.

Oak Mountain Dental is the BEST dentist office I have ever been to. The friendly staff has helped me every step of the way. Dr. Call is very thorough explaining what he is going to do the day I am in there and explains what the next process will be. Dr. Call is very friendly and has a great personality. He talks to me like a person and not another source of income! Dr Call is very gentle and quick with the work. He seems to genuinely care about my questions and concerns and explain everything to me in a way I can understand. He even spends time talking to me about things other than the dental work being preformed. It was really fast and easy to get my first appointment and the process is going quicker than I expected.
