What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. Surgically placed into your jawbone, it fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a custom-made dental crown is securely attached to the implant, resulting in a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like your natural one.

The Benefits of ChoosingDental Implants

Dental implants provide advantages that other tooth replacement options simply cannot match:

  • Permanent Solution: Designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
  • Preserves Jawbone: Stimulates bone growth, preventing the facial collapse often seen with tooth loss.
  • Natural Look & Feel: Functions and appears like your own teeth.
  • Protects Healthy Teeth: Unlike bridges, adjacent healthy teeth are not altered or damaged.
  • Superior Stability: No slipping or clicking, allowing you to eat all your favorite foods with confidence.
  • Improved Oral Health: Easier to clean and maintain, promoting better long-term hygiene.

The Dental Implant Process at Dentistry on Ridgeway

Our team guides you through every step with precision and care, ensuring comfort and exceptional results.

  • Comprehensive Consultation & 3D Imaging: We begin with a detailed exam, including 3D scans, to assess your jawbone density and create a personalized treatment plan.
  • Implant Placement: The titanium implant post is gently and precisely placed into the jawbone. The area is then allowed to heal and integrate with the bone over several months.
  • Abutment Placement: Once healed, a small connector piece (abutment) is attached to the implant to hold your new tooth.
  • Custom Crown Fabrication & Placement: We take impressions to craft your final dental crown—matched perfectly to the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth—which is then securely attached.

For patients with insufficient bone, we offer bone grafting procedures to ensure a strong foundation for your implant.
