Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth—designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They restore confident smiles with unmatched stability, long-term durability, and a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
In most dental practices in Indianapolis, Indiana, if you need a dental implant, you will need to travel to outside offices for special x-rays, extra evaluations, the actual dental implant placement surgery, and multiple post-operative check-ups before you’re able to receive your restoration. At Detail Dental, Dr. Chris Chisler and his team are trained in all aspects of dental implants. They use some of the most sophisticated technology available today to ensure your implant is placed exactly where it should be. The color, shape, and size of each implant crown are then custom-made to match the rest of your teeth. Each step is performed here with the team you already know and trust.
“When Dr. Chisler placed my implant in the very back of my mouth on the left side, I felt no pain at all. I’ve had my share of root canals, crowns, and bridges, and this was by far the easiest of all.”

Dental implants are titanium-based tooth root replacements that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration. Over time, the implant naturally bonds with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong, permanent foundation for replacement teeth.
Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, dental implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and help preserve the jawbone by preventing bone loss after tooth loss. Modern dental implants are biocompatible and safe for patients with metal sensitivities, making them a reliable and well-tolerated solution for long-term tooth replacement.
Dental implants offer advantages that other tooth replacement options simply can’t match:
With proper care, dental implants can last decades—often 20 years or more—making them a smart long-term investment in your oral health.
Single tooth dental implants are ideal for replacing one missing tooth without affecting surrounding teeth. Each implant is restored with a custom-shaded crown designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile, restoring both appearance and function.
For patients missing several teeth in a row, implant-supported bridges offer a strong, efficient solution. By using two or three implants to support multiple teeth, we can restore your smile while minimizing the total number of implants needed—without sacrificing stability or comfort.
When all teeth are missing or failing, full mouth dental implants provide a permanent, fixed alternative to traditional dentures. These solutions restore full chewing ability, improve facial structure, and eliminate the inconvenience of removable appliances.
We offer several full-arch restoration options, including:
Regardless of what option you choose, here’s what you can expect with Detail Dental’s Teeth X-Press options.
All-on-4 dental implants use four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth. This approach maximizes existing bone, often reduces the need for grafting, and allows for faster results with excellent long-term stability.
All-on-4 treatment can be paired with both fixed and removable implant restorations, depending on your needs and preferences.
For patients who want significantly more stability than traditional dentures — while still keeping the ability to remove them — we offer several implant-retained solutions:
By offering both fixed and removable implant-supported options, Detail Dental can create a fully customized treatment plan — without pushing patients into a one-size-fits-all solution.
When most people think of dental implants, they think of a single tooth being replaced, but actually, they can be used in various indications. Multiple implants can support bridges that cover more than one tooth to lessen the total number of implants needed. For example, two implants may be used to reproduce the look of 3-4
When a patient has lost all of their teeth, four or more implants can be placed to support a full arch set of teeth that stays in permanently. These teeth look and function just like natural teeth.
Partial and complete denture patients benefit greatly from implants because precision attachments can be placed on top of the implants instead of crowns and bridges. These attachments help the denture fasten in place and provide a major improvement in stability, comfort, eating, and talking.
A set of complete dentures can only provide 20-25% of the chewing forces that your natural teeth can. If we add just two implants at the lower canine positions, the patient improves to 50-60% of their previous chewing ability
The top portion of each implant can be changed or updated throughout the patient’s life. If an implant was first placed to replace a single missing tooth, it can be altered to help support a bridge if nearby teeth are later extracted. If many or all of a patient’s teeth end up being removed, the crown or bridge can be changed to an attachment to help support a partial or complete denture. This ability to modify how an implant is used helps the patient to continue to benefit from the implant as they age and their circumstances change.
The implant is surgically placed using local anesthesia for comfort. Healing typically takes 12–14 weeks, allowing the implant to integrate with the bone. A temporary tooth is often provided during this phase.
Once healed, a small connector (abutment) is placed to shape the gums and create a natural emergence profile for the final restoration.
Lastly, the crown will be attached to the abutment. At Detail Dental, we custom make the majority of our implant crowns right here within our office. Your implant crown is digitally scanned in less than one minute, designed on 3D software, and milled to micron-precise-accuracy to make sure it fits the first time.
