Dental Implants

With the technology of dental implants, missing teeth can now be easily, comfortably, and permanently replaced. Often, patients assume they’ll have to choose between bridges, dentures, and partials if they’re missing a tooth or teeth. But dental implants are durable, natural-looking restorations that offer an ideal alternative for many patients.

The Many Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants provide patients with a restoration that exactly imitates the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth. After a titanium anchor is first implanted into the jawbone, your surrounding bone tissue fuses with the post to create a solid foundation for your dental implant. Then Dr. Ritchie will attach a handcrafted, permanent crown that will blend seamlessly with your other teeth. For patients missing multiple teeth, dental implants are sometimes used to secure bridges and dentures to prevent slipping. Because the titanium post imitates the root of a natural tooth, dental implants are exceptionally durable and should last a lifetime.
