Dakota Valley Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Specializes in Tooth Replacement in Lakeville and Apple Valley, Minnesota

Apple Valley, Minnesota, 2026-10-19 — The loss of a tooth can cause a great change in one’s life. Basic tasks like eating an apple, talking, or even feeling at ease in a social environment can become more of a challenge than one might think. Dakota Valley Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is focusing on dental implants as a permanent solution for tooth replacement in Lakeville and Apple Valley, Minnesota.

Dental implants are used to replace a missing tooth (or teeth) from the root down. An implant post is inserted into the jawbone, and, over time, will integrate with the surrounding bone, providing a platform upon which the restoration can be attached. In contrast to a removable prosthesis, an implant-supported restoration is fixed into place, meaning a patient has a more natural-feeling method of replacement.

When a patient is considering tooth replacement, the consultation is just as important as the procedure. Bone health, general oral health, the position of the lost tooth and the patient’s treatment plans can all influence the best course of action. Dakota Valley Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery offers implant services as part of our oral & Maxillofacial treatment options to help educate the patient about what may be involved before proceeding.

The practice happily help patients from Lakeville, Apple Valley and surrounding Minnesota areas. Our specialty in oral and Maxillofacial surgery can be very helpful if the patient requires further surgical procedures prior to the placement of an implant. Every situation is different and requires a thorough assessment to decide whether dental implants are right for patients.

Living with a missing tooth can be difficult and delaying treatment can become bothersome to patients. Dakota Valley Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery suggests having a consultation to determine which restorative option will best fit one’s needs rather than assuming.
