The Sugar House Dentist are experts and offer dental implants to people in Salt Lake City at their Sugar House dental office. Our tooth implant experts can complete your entire implant procedure in-house, without the need to send you to a separate specialist. By both placing and restoring your dental implants in our Sugar House dentist office, we ensure that you remain in the capable hands of the doctors you trust from start to finish.
Tooth loss and the gaps that missing teeth leave in your smile can be very detrimental to one’s confidence and the way in which other people perceive you. In some situations, a missing tooth or missing teeth can cause people to stop smiling and even to avoid social situations. No one should have to feel left out or lose self-confidence over something so simple to remedy as a missing tooth.
Having missing teeth that leave gaps in your smile can also cause people to wear down some or all of their remaining teeth as they adjust their bite to compensate for the missing teeth. In the past, the only way to fix someone’s smile and remove the feeling of incompleteness that gaps between teeth often cause was to replace your teeth with dentures, or perhaps partial dentures. This is still an option today, of course, but there is a better recourse—dental implants.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants, also known as tooth implants, are titanium rods that act as root substitutes for missing teeth. After installation, this artificial root fuses to the jawbone, creating a strong foundation upon which to attach a false tooth. It generally takes between 3 and 6 months for the titanium rod to fully fuse to the jawbone. Once the healing process is completed, dental implants give you a brand-new tooth root and tooth that will prove even more durable than a regular tooth.
Am I a Candidate for Implant Dentistry?
You may be a candidate for implant dentistry if:
You have lost one or more natural teeth.
A dental implant is the best restorative option for patients who have suffered from a tooth loss or the loss of multiple teeth.
You want to decrease your jawbone deterioration and enjoy a healthier smile.
Implant dentistry is the only restorative option for missing teeth that restores both the tooth root and the tooth crown. When a patient loses a tooth, the jawbone underneath can start to deteriorate. A dental implant provides the jaw with the support that it needs and helps patients enjoy a more beautiful smile and a more youthful appearance.
You want a lasting restorative solution to your tooth loss.
Our titanium implants are durable and can last a lifetime with proper care.
You want a restorative solution that looks natural and beautiful.
Each of our dental implants is restored with a beautiful, custom-made dental crown that looks natural and perfectly mimics your lost tooth.
You want a full, functional smile again.
A dental implant is a perfect tooth replacement option that gives our patients a second chance at a full, beautiful, smile. You’ll enjoy the same level of functionality that you enjoyed before you lost your tooth.
Benefits & Advantages of Dental Implants
Patients choose to have a dental implant after they’ve experienced a tooth loss, because dental implants are the only restorative option for missing teeth that replaces both the tooth crown and the tooth root. When you lose a tooth, the bone in your jaw can start to deteriorate without that tooth’s support. A dental implant can help stop that deterioration and keep you feeling happy and healthy, even after a tooth loss.
Dental implants come with many benefits including:
Durability
Our dental implants are extremely durable and can last as long as a patient’s regular teeth. This means you can chew and eat with your replacement teeth just like you naturally would. This is especially helpful if the other teeth in your mouth have been worn down from being overused in order to compensate for the missing tooth or teeth.
Beauty
A tooth implant fills in the area of your mouth that your regular tooth root would have if it weren’t missing, so one benefit to your appearance is that your cheeks will not get that sunken-in look that often happens when one or more teeth and their roots are missing. The dental implant stands in for the missing tooth and performs every function your real tooth would have. Each implant is restored with a beautiful porcelain crown that will match and enhance the beauty of your full, natural smile.
Appearance
Dental implants look just like regular teeth, so they allow you to laugh and smile with complete confidence. The dental crown that is affixed to the top of the tooth-root replacement implant is color-matched to look just like the teeth next to it, so no one will be able to tell that it isn’t the natural tooth you were born with.
Comfort
After a while, your dental implant will feel like a natural part of your mouth. With a dental implant, you’ll be able to feel completely comfortable with your smile. A tooth implant feels just like a regular tooth, restoring your mouth to the way it was before you lost the tooth that the implant replaces. The dental crown that is connected to the top of the tooth-root implant is custom-made for you based on the size, shape, and arrangement of your natural teeth, so it fits in your mouth and feels just like any other tooth.
Functionality
An implant combined with a porcelain crown creates a perfect replacement tooth. You’ll be able to enjoy all the activities you loved before your tooth loss. Yet another use for dental implants is that they can be used to anchor and hold either partial or full dentures if necessary. This makes the dentures much more sturdy, durable, and attractive because they are held securely in one place and never slide around in your mouth like unanchored dentures might.
Dental Implants vs Dental Bridges
For Salt Lake City patients who are missing one or a few teeth, our practice offers dental implant options and dental bridges. Dental bridges and dental implants will both restore missing teeth. However, there are a few key differences.
Dental implants replace the crown and root of the tooth. Dental bridges only replace the crown.
Implant dentistry uses a surgically placed post that functions like a natural tooth root followed by a crown restoration to create a perfect replacement tooth. Dental bridges use a series of porcelain crowns to “bridge” the gap left by a missing tooth.
Dental implants provide the jawbone with the support that it needs to stay healthy and strong. Dental bridges do not help prevent bone deterioration underneath the gumline.

Thank you Dr. Thorup and Dr. Theurer, You are hands down the best in every way possible! First visit, I was impressed with Dr. Theurer, his knowledge, attention to details as well as the options available as I needed 3 dental implants. Even though I met with other dentists prior, I knew he was the best and I’m not wrong plus he bought me a book which became one of my favorites. Dr Thorup who is in charge of my dental work is just brilliant and his assistant as well (she is awesome.. sorry I forgot your name... How dare I? I love you) I got 3 implants done and got my big beautiful smile back... my friends can’t tell the difference between the implants and my original teeth! Hands down the best and most affordable dental experience I ever had at the highest quality and professionalism! Everyone who works there is just awesome!
I had an emergency dental situation where my crown came off. This dentist was able to get me in the same day (Friday) and made sure all was good. Highly recommended! They are open Friday and Saturday (most dentists aren't)!

Dr. Theurer and his staff are everything I hope to find in a dentist office. Punctual, clean, friendly, gentle, honest, and thorough. He's got a great eye--he placed a crown on my tooth implant that looks natural as can be. Fillings are painless and easy. At one point I had a gun infection (yuck) that he quickly diagnosed. It was causing me gum discomfort and bleeding. After a specialized medical cleaning, my gums are in great shape again. Thank you Dr. T and staff!!

The best dentistry practice I have ever been to. One of my main reasons of trying this place out is that they offer fluoride free teeth cleaning! I have always hated going to the dentist and it was always an uncomfortable place to be. I am a relatively new patient here and so far my experience and interaction with the staff members have been nothing but amazing. They are so kind, helpful, considerate, and most importantly they were informative and kept me in the loop about everything they were doing. I feel Dr. Theurer is meticulous, experienced, and careful. I am grateful I was able to get my root canal done by him and his team. He also throws in a few jokes while he’s performing on your teeth 😂 it lightens up the mood. Thanks for everything! I’ll be coming here routinely until I need to move again for my husband’s military service relocation. If I could have this practice for the rest of my years, I would totally only go to them!
Been going to Dr. Jared Theurer for years now, couldn’t recommend him more. If you’re in the Sugar House and Salt Lake area, he is the dentist to see! Him and his staff always have your best interest at heart, and I know I’m always getting the best treatment out there!

My husband and I were on our way back from vacation and one of his crowns popped out. Dr. Thorup made an effort to fit him in and fix his crown ASAP. Dr. Thorup has been my dentist for this last year and I’ve always been impressed by his service. I was in awe of how he went above and beyond to help my husband (who wasn’t currently a patient). We will be long-time patients at this office.

Absolutely the best dentist I’ve ever been to! I had to find a new dentist when I moved to Salt Lake. I had been going to the same dentist for most of my life but Dr Theurer is even better! He’s great to talk to, gentle, thorough and quick! He explains everything and his staff is very nice. He was recommended to me by 3 people and I recommend him to everyone. Be sure to find the dentist office with the fish tank! There are a couple other dentists with the same name.
Sugar House Dentist Theurer Family Dental are awesome. Staff are very friendly and accommodating and their service are at a reasonable price depends on what work you need to be done. Dr. Theurer took the time to describe what he saw and options tailored to us individually. He was logical and thorough. We have always walked out feeling that we understood what was needed and happy with our decisions. Highly recommend him. Joel and Janeth Salt Lake.

I have seen Dr. David Thorup for dental work on my front teeth. My front teeth did not look very good during my growing up years and I was made fun of. This caused me to hide my teeth and not smile. Down the road when I became an adult, I consulted with Dr. Thorup about doing veneers to help make my front teeth look better and help me feel more confident with my smile. I decided to move forward with the treatment and I'm glad I did. Dr. Thorup went above and beyond what was expected to make sure I had the best results possible. I have never smiled bigger than I have since getting my veneers done with Dr. Thorup. I very highly recommend him!

After recently moving to Salt Lake City, having to find new medical care was a chore. I am so happy I found The Sugar House Dentist! I actually received a postcard in the mail advertising their services. I looked up reviews and was impressed. At my first appointment, I felt very comfortable. Staff were all very professional and friendly. The office and treatment rooms are attractive and very well equipped. Dr. Theurer was so nice, and put me at ease immediately. Dental hygienists are knowledgeable and very well trained.
Our family has been going to Dr Theurer’s office for about 5 years and we love Dr Theurer and the whole staff. We would recommend them to young and old.

There are many Dentists to choose in the Salt Lake Valley. I have yet to meet one with the caliber quality of care and service as Theurer Family Dental. I recently had to find a new Dentist due to mine retiring. Distraught I wouldn’t find one as amazing, with some searching, I was lucky enough to come across Dr. Theurer. Walking into the office is always a pleasure like no other Dentist offers. The office is warm and welcoming. You are greeted by a beautiful fish tank in the waiting room. The offices are always clean and tidy. Dr. Theurer is very attentive with me and respectful of my wishes. Prices are a bargain for the services provided! The Theurer Dental team makes me feel like family.

I absolutely love Dr. Theurer and his whole team (especially Brittany)! They have made going to the dentist a much more enjoyable experience. They are efficient and thorough, always checking back in with you after a procedure to make sure you’re feeling okay. In particular I had the pinhole gum rejuvenation treatment for receding gums and despite my nerves about it, I could not be happier with the results. The pain was minimal and Dr. Theurer was very reassuring the whole time. If you’re in need of this treatment, I would not hesitate to tell you to go see Dr. Theurer. Also a big plus is their extended hours to get more people in before and after work/school. It’s so nice to be able to find a time that won’t interrupt my day. I highly recommend Dr. Theurer if you’re looking for a new dentist!
I came to this office for the pinhole gum surgery technique when my gum recession became uncomfortable. Dr. Theurer and his staff all did a wonderful job. He was super friendly and explained everything clearly so I understood exactly what would happen. The procedure was painless and the recovery was smooth. Most recently I came back to their office for a second opinion with some cavities another dentist told me I had. Dr. Theurer walked through the x-rays with me to explain what cavities look like and what healthy teeth look like. Turns out I didn't have any cavities. The office didn't charge me for the appointment or the x-ray. I will definitely be switching to this office for my regular dental cleaning!
