Dental Implants

A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth as a result of injury, periodontal disease, or any other reason. A dental implant is a metal post that is positioned into the jaw. Once in place and bone surrounding the implant has had time to heal, a replacement tooth is attached to the post. While implants are typically more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, they provide superior benefits. Implants are stronger than natural teeth and generally last 10-20 years or up to a lifetime. They are also a more favorable approach than bridgework since they do not depend on neighboring teeth for support. An implant also helps maintain the alveolar bone level.

To receive implants, you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. You must also be committed to excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits as these are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.

Many patients suffer from missing teeth. This causes large gaps in their smile, loss of function, and puts more biting pressure on their remaining teeth. Dental implants will help you regain your natural smile and help you chew the foods you love.

Benefits of dental implants

Dental Implants are metal posts that are placed surgically in the location of a missing tooth. The dental implant stands in for the missing tooth and performs every function that your real tooth would have.

Dental implants look and feel just like regular teeth. They allow you to smile with complete confidence. The crown that is placed on the implant is matched to your other teeth so that it looks flawless.

Dental Implants help alleviate the stress on other teeth. This allows you to eat more of the food you love, help your health improve, and give you the smile you desire.

Cost of dental implants

The cost of Dental Implants can vary case by case and will be discussed once the dentist assesses your treatment needs. Implants can be easier to pay for due to the longer period of time it takes to restore the tooth. Ridge View Dental also offers in-office discounts along with third-party financing options. This makes dental implants an affordable option for all of our patients.
