Dental Implants in Richmond

Dental implants are a permanent solution for restoring missing teeth. They provide an alternate option to dental crowns and bridges that need to be replaced over time. 

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a titanium post that is permanently attached to the jawbone and serves as a replacement for the tooth root. An abutment is then attached to the metal post, protruding above the gumline to hold the replacement tooth in position.

Why Should I Get a Dental Implant?

If you leave gaps in your teeth, the surrounding teeth can move out of place, causing a serious misalignment. This can affect your biting function, causing chipping and cracking of the teeth. As a permanent solution, an implant is a convenient way to restore functionality for a healthy smile.
