Dental Implants in Richmond, VA
Dental implants are long-lasting, natural-looking tooth replacements designed to restore both the root and crown of a missing tooth. A small titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time. Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant.
Dental implants provide excellent stability and function, making them one of the most reliable solutions for replacing missing teeth. Contact our office today to learn more and schedule your consultation!

What are the benefits of dental implants?

What is the dental implant placement process?
The process begins with a consultation and imaging to determine your bone health and treatment needs. The implant post is then surgically placed into the jawbone, followed by a healing period of a few months as the bone fuses to the implant. Once healed, we place an abutment and a custom-made crown. Throughout the process, we will ensure your comfort and monitor your progress for the best long-term results.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. You’ll need enough bone in your jaw to support the implant, as well as healthy gums and a good oral hygiene routine. If you’ve experienced bone loss, a bone graft may be recommended first. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your dental and medical history, take X-rays, and determine if implants are the right choice to restore your smile.
