WHY ST. GEORGE PATIENTS CHOOSE DR. ANDRUS

A Specialist's Approach to Replacing Missing Teeth

Most general dental offices weren't built for implant cases that need precision planning, custom prosthetics, and follow-through over months. Dr. Andrus's prosthodontic specialty training, board certification, and in-house implant planning, placement, and restoration workflow let patients keep their case with one specialist from consultation through final restoration.

Board-Certified

Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics — the highest credential in implant and restorative care.

Digital Planning

3D CBCT imaging and guided surgical placement — implants positioned where the final tooth needs them.

One Office, One Team

Surgical placement and the final crown, bridge, or prosthesis — done under one roof, by one provider.

Honest Treatment Plans

Clear options, written pricing, no upsells. Your plan moves at your pace and around your budget.

The Dr. Andrus Difference

Prosthodontics is the ADA-recognized specialty focused on replacing missing teeth and restoring damaged ones — a discipline that requires three additional years of training after dental school. Dr. Andrus is Southern Utah's only Board-Certified Prosthodontist and the founding specialist at the St. George Center for Specialized Dentistry — focused on complex implant and restorative work.

YOUR IMPLANT OPTIONS

Three Paths Back to a Full Smile

Whether you're missing a single tooth or an entire arch, Dr. Andrus's prosthodontic training means your plan is shaped to your case — not pulled off a shelf.

Option 1 — Single Tooth

Single Dental Implant

Replaces one missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth. A titanium implant integrates with the jawbone and supports a custom porcelain or zirconia crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth.

  • Bone-preserving — protects facial structure
  • Custom-shade crown matched to your smile
  • Brushed and flossed like a real tooth
Discuss My Case
Option 2 — Multiple Teeth

Implant-Supported Bridge

For two or more missing teeth in a row. Two strategically placed implants support a fixed bridge that restores chewing and aesthetics without the bone loss or instability of a traditional removable partial.

  • Fewer implants, full restored function
  • Stable — no removable partial needed
  • Preserves jawbone in the gap
Discuss My Case
Option 3 — Full Arch

All-on-4 / Full Arch

A complete fixed prosthesis supported by just four to six implants — for patients missing most or all of their teeth in an upper or lower arch. Often delivered as "teeth in a day" with a same-day temporary, followed by a permanent final restoration.

  • Replace a full arch with as few as 4 implants
  • Fixed in — never removed at night
  • Eat what you want, smile with confidence

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Dental Implant FAQs

Quick answers to the questions Dr. Andrus hears most. Have a question that isn't here? Call (435) 246-7770 — we're happy to help.

Cost depends on the number of implants, whether bone grafting or sinus lift is required, and the type of final restoration (crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis). After a consultation and 3D CBCT scan, Dr. Andrus provides a written treatment plan with exact pricing. Flexible financing is available — call (435) 246-7770 to discuss your case.
For a single implant, plan on 3 to 6 months from surgical placement to final crown delivery — the time needed for the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone. Full-arch cases (All-on-4) often receive a same-day fixed temporary prosthesis, with the permanent restoration delivered a few months later.
Most adults with a missing tooth (or teeth) are candidates. The key factors are bone volume, gum health, and general medical status. When bone is deficient, bone grafting or sinus augmentation can rebuild what's needed. Dr. Andrus evaluates each case with a 3D CBCT scan before recommending a plan.
Modern dental implants placed and restored by a trained specialist have a long-term success rate above 95%. Outcomes depend on proper diagnosis, surgical placement, prosthetic design, and patient maintenance — all of which are part of the prosthodontic specialty Dr. Andrus is board-certified in.
For many patients, implant-supported teeth feel and function more like natural teeth than removable dentures. They preserve bone, don't slip, and don't require adhesive. That said, traditional dentures still have a role — particularly for patients with significant bone loss or specific medical considerations. Dr. Andrus is a specialist in both.
Many dental plans now contribute toward the implant restoration (crown or bridge), and some contribute toward the surgical placement. Coverage varies. Our team will check your benefits and lay out exact out-of-pocket numbers before any treatment begins.
Prosthodontics is the ADA-recognized specialty focused on replacing missing teeth and restoring damaged ones. Dr. Andrus is a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics and a Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists — the highest credentials in the field. Implant cases are planned from the final tooth backward, which produces more predictable function and aesthetics over the long term.
