Dental Implants in Minneapolis, MN
Losing a tooth, or a few teeth, can make everyday things feel just a bit harder. Eating your favorite foods might not be as easy, talking could feel awkward, and smiling might not feel as carefree as it should. At CityTooth, we believe everyone deserves a complete, healthy smile they can feel confident sharing with the world. That’s why we offer dental implants in Minneapolis.
Considered the gold standard of tooth replacement, dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking way to restore your smile. Think of them as hitting the refresh button on your teeth and your confidence!
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed in your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a stable foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture to complete your smile.
Our dentist in Minneapolis collaborates with top specialists to handle the implant surgery while we focus on designing and attaching the beautiful restorations that make your smile shine. It’s a seamless process designed to give you the best results possible!

What’s the Process for Getting Dental Implants?
Getting dental implants may seem like a big step, but at CityTooth, we make the process simple and stress-free. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
1. Initial Consultation
The process begins with a consultation at our Minneapolis dental office. Dr. Meysman assesses your oral health, takes digital x-rays, and discusses your goals to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you. We explain each step and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
2. Implant Placement
To guarantee top-quality care, we partner with a trusted specialist who handles implant placement. During this step, the specialist surgically places a titanium post into your jawbone, which will serve as the root of your new tooth. Your jawbone then begins healing, and the implant naturally fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration.
3. Healing Period
While your implant integrates with your jawbone (usually over a few months), a temporary restoration may be placed to keep your smile looking great. This healing period is crucial for dental implant success.
4. Custom Restoration Design
Once your implant is ready, we design a custom crown, bridge, or denture that matches your natural teeth in shape, size, and color. We aim to create a restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile and looks completely natural.
5. Final Placement
In the final step, we attach your custom restoration to the dental implant. After a quick adjustment and final polish, your new tooth is ready to go. You’ll leave our dental office with a fully restored smile that looks and feels amazing!
6. Follow-Up Care
We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to check your progress and make sure everything is functioning as it should. With proper care and regular dental visits, your implant can last for decades.
Testimonial
Everyone was nice, professional, and knowledgeable.
Everyone was nice, professional, and knowledgeable. Dr. Meysman explained procedures and follow up care very well so I would know what to expect. I am normally not a fan of going to dentists. I don’t live downtown but I definitely will drive down for dental care from her and her topnotch staff.

Frequently Asked Questions
The dental implant process can vary from patient to patient, but on average, it takes three to six months to complete. While that might sound like a long time, it’s worth it for the long-lasting results that dental implants provide. At CityTooth, our team will support you every step of the way to deliver a seamless and successful experience.
Here’s how the process typically works:
- Initial Consultation and Planning — During your first visit, we’ll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. If you need preparatory work like a bone graft or tooth extraction, this step may add some time.
- Dental Implant Placement — The next step involves placing the titanium implant into your jawbone. This acts as a sturdy replacement for your tooth root. After placement, a healing period of three to four months allows the implant to fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
- Restoration — Once the implant has fully integrated, we’ll attach a custom crown, bridge, or denture to complete your smile. This step is quick and painless, bringing your implant journey to a close.
