If you’re among the millions of Americans who are missing one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease, our team at Aurora Family Dental has the solution for you—dental implants in Aurora, NE. Under the experienced care of Dr. Chancy Hanquist, we use the latest implant technology to restore smiles that look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium metal surgically placed into the jawbone. This “root” is attached to a tooth prosthetic to replace a missing tooth permanently. Implants fuse to your bone through osseointegration, allowing them to become extremely stable and durable.
There are many advantages to choosing implants over other tooth replacement options like bridges or dentures:
If not addressed, missing teeth can have major consequences for your oral health and overall quality of life. Gaps in your smile allow the remaining teeth to shift and become misaligned. Your bite mechanics and chewing ability become impaired. Bone loss in the jaw can occur, eventually causing facial sagging and premature wrinkles.
Replacing missing teeth with dental implants prevents these issues and helps you maintain your healthiest, most confident smile for a lifetime.
At Aurora Family Dental, we offer comprehensive implant solutions tailored to each patient’s specific needs:
Single-Tooth Implants: An implant post with a dental crown restoration that fills the gap left by one missing tooth. This is the simplest dental implant procedure.
Implant-Supported Bridges: A custom-made dental bridge secured to a series of implant posts can replace two or more missing teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures: We can use implants to anchor full or partial dentures in place, providing optimal stability and a comfortable, worry-free fit
If you’re ready to take the first step toward restoring your smile and oral health, we invite you to schedule a dental implant consultation with Dr. Hanquist at Aurora Family Dental. During your in-depth evaluation, we’ll discuss all of your options and answer any questions you may have about dental implants so you can make an informed decision.

Your beautiful, permanent new smile begins here in Aurora, NE. Contact us today to get started – your future self will thank you!
Getting dental implants with Dr. Hanquist is a multi-step process that takes several months from start to finish. Here’s a quick overview of what you can expect:
Consultation: First, Dr. Hanquist will perform an oral examination and use advanced 3D imaging to assess your jawbone density to determine if you’re a good implant candidate. If moving forward, we will create an individualized treatment plan.
Extraction (if needed): We may extract any remaining damaged tooth roots before implant surgery.
Bone Grafting (if needed): Patients lacking adequate bone mass may require a grafting procedure to build up the jawbone and provide a strong foundation for implants.
Implant Surgery: We will precisely place titanium implant posts into your jaw during an outpatient surgical procedure using local anesthesia.
Healing Period: Over 3-6 months, the implants will fuse with your natural bone through osseointegration.
Impressions: Once healed, we will take impressions and measurements to fabricate your final implant-supported restorations.
Placement of Final Restorations: Your new implant crown, bridge, or dentures will be securely attached to the implant posts, instantly improving your smile.
Follow-Up Care: Dr. Hanquist will provide guidance on caring for your implants through good oral hygiene and routine dental visits so they can last for decades.
