Completing Your Smile with Dental Implants
Missing teeth can affect more than just how your smile looks. They can change how you speak, how you chew, and even how your jawbone holds its shape.
Dental implants can offer a long-lasting solution that feels secure and looks natural. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or need a more extensive restoration, our team can help you explore whether implants are the right fit.
Book a consultation with Riverwalk Dental to find out if dental implants are your next step toward a healthier, more complete smile.
Book AppointmentWhat Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of medical-grade titanium. They are surgically placed into your jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Once healed, they look and function like natural teeth, without slipping or clicking.
Implants are a trusted alternative to partial or full dentures, and traditional bridges. Because they replace the root of a missing tooth, they help maintain jawbone health and prevent shifting in surrounding teeth.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have healthy gums and good oral hygiene
- Have enough bone density to support the implant
- Want a fixed, low-maintenance option that feels like your own teeth
If your jawbone is too thin or has shrunk over time, a bone graft may be an option to build up the bone before implant placement. We will walk you through your options during your consultation.
Placing Your Dental Implant
Placing a dental implant is a multi-step process that begins with a detailed evaluation, including digital X-rays and 3D imaging. Once we determine you are a good candidate, we will schedule your implant procedure.
- Implant placement: The implant is carefully inserted into your jawbone. Over the next few months, your bone will grow around the implant in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation.
- Abutment & restoration: Once healing is complete, we attach a small connector piece called an abutment. Your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is then secured to the abutment, completing your smile.
In some cases, we may be able to place the implant and attach a temporary restoration on the same day, depending on your individual needs.
Long-Term Care for Your Implants
Dental implants require the same care as your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit us regularly for cleanings and exams. With good oral hygiene and routine maintenance, dental implants can last many years, often decades.
If you’re considering dental implants, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. We’ll help you understand your options and create a treatment plan tailored to your smile.
