Benefits of Dental Implants in Richmond

Dental implants are the newest development in tooth replacement, and they are becoming the most popular. And it’s no wonder, because they offer so many benefits. Dental implants: 

  • Let You Eat All Foods
  • Look like Natural Teeth
  • Are Fixed in Your Jaw
  • Support Themselves
  • Can Be Cleaned like Natural Teeth
  • Can Last a Lifetime
 
With old-fashioned entures, you had to give up some of your favorite foods. But not with dental implants. With implants, you can eat all the foods you love. You don’t have to give anything up — and  you can probably enjoy foods you might have given up when you had an unhealthy tooth! 
 
Dental implants look natural, too. The cosmetic dental crown can be indistinguishable from natural teeth, and the tooth root is embedded in the gums and bone.  
 
Implants aren’t loose like dentures. They won’t come out when you talk or laugh. They are fixed in your jawbone. This lets them support themselves so they don’t depend on your natural teeth for support.  
 
Dental implants are easy to care for. Just brush, floss, and make regular dental visits to keep them healthy. Take proper care of your implants, and they can last a lifetime.

Yes! Clinical studies of up to 30 years show implant survival rates of over 90%. Longer studies are hard because people pass away with implants in place. However, we do know of a man who had implants more than 50 years!

Most people are candidates for dental implants. You just have to meet three standards: be an adult, have one or more missing teeth, and be healthy enough for surgery.

The Implant Process

The dental implants in Richmond process starts with a consultation. We’ll evaluate your oral health and recommend an implant procedure if it’s appropriate.  

Your implant process will likely start with tooth extraction. We might be able to place your implants right away, but sometimes we might need to treat gum disease or perform a bone graft that might need to heal for months before the implant is placed.  
 
When your implant is placed, our experienced dental team in Richmond will decide if we can place a restoration on top of it right away. These days, most implants are stable enough that you can get the full replacement teeth the same day your natural teeth are removed, especially with a system like All-on-4.  
 
Your implants will heal over a few months. In this time, your body will replace the bone around the implant. Bone actually attaches to the implant, securing it. When the implant is fully healed, we will place a restoration if you didn’t get one right away, or replace the provisional restoration with a permanent one.

Dental Implant Restorations

Technically, the dental implant is just the root part of the replacement tooth. The part above the gums is known as the “restoration.” Implants can be used with many different types of restorations, including: 

 
A dental crown is used when we want to replace just one tooth with a dental implant. It’s similar to the dental crown we can place over a damaged tooth. 
 
Dental bridges are used to replace multiple teeth. They are made up of several replacement teeth fused together, and are supported by two or more dental implants.  
 
Dentures are replacements made to replace a full arch of teeth (upper or lower). Sometimes, the term is used interchangeably with “bridge.” When talking about dental implants, we’ll use bridge when we’re talking about less than a full arch, and denture when we’re talking about replacing a full arch.

Frequently Asked Questions

One dental implant supports one tooth. However, when several teeth are missing, we can use a few implants to support a bridge or denture rather than using an implant to replace each individual tooth.

Titanium is the most widely used material for a tooth implant because it is biocompatible and fuses with the human bone.

Costs for Dental Implants in Richmond varies depending on the number of teeth replaced, the type of implant, and whether procedures like bone grafting are needed. We provide a full treatment plan and cost estimate after your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect.

In short, yes! You can enjoy the same foods as you would with your natural teeth.

The process can range from a single day (for same-day implants) to several months, depending on healing time. Traditional implants require a period of osseointegration – usually 3 to 6 months – before the final crown is placed.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, usually made from titanium or zirconia, that are placed into your jawbone to replace missing teeth. Once the implant fuses with the bone, a process called osseointegration, an abutment is attached to hold a crown, bridge, or denture in place.

Generally speaking, health insurance covers only a small part of the implant treatment and you can expect a significant gap between the amount covered by insurance and the amount left to pay. Always check with your insurance provider.

Dental implants have an excellent track record, with a survival rate of around 96–98% over many years. With proper care, including regular check-ups and good oral hygiene, implants can last decades. Rare complications include peri-implantitis (gum inflammation around the implant) or implant fracture, which can usually be treated promptly.

Titanium implants are the most widely used, known for their durability and high success rates. Zirconia implants are metal-free and offer a natural tooth-coloured appearance, making them a good choice for patients with metal sensitivities or aesthetic preferences.
