The journey of life forces us to make decisions at every turn. Whenever we come to a crossroads, it is up to us to choose which direction to take. The road could be filled with mysteries because we can't see beyond the horizon.

That won't be the case at my Richmond dental office. That's because, in my place, there are no unknowns. I won't let you feel left out. You will know everything you need to know. You will know all the details about the benefits and risks associated with your dental work. You will have a detailed explanation of the whole procedure well ahead of time.

I do a great deal of restorative work in our Richmond implant dentist office and replace the teeth that patients lose. I start by giving you a false root. This will be affixed on to the jaw bone. The false root has a prosthetic effect, because the bone is able to grow all over the root and anchor it to the jaw. The root will, effectively, become part of your system. After that, I will put in the crown. It won't look out of place among your natural teeth.

I have a rule concerning the implant. I make sure I never try to overdo it. I do not do anything to the teeth next to it. I will leave them alone. By protecting your other teeth, I make sure they won't start to wobble or come loose after we're done.

The good thing about Richmond dentist implants is how different they are to dentures. I can assure you they are designed so they won't rub or irritate your gums. Implants are harmless. You are protected from being torn up, which is what may happen when you wear dentures. Keeping your gums pink, healthy and elevated above your jaw bone can have a positive effect on your teeth.

One aspect of implants requires a lot of care. Whenever I'm performing the operation, I'm wary about the threat of infection. I would again take a very conservative approach. I won't perform the implant unless I feel you are a suitable candidate. Once we agree to go ahead, I will perform the operation. Then, I will need you to make some follow-up trips to make sure there are no complications. I promise you I won't leave you alone. Once the procedure is done, I will keep an eye on you for as long as I have to. I need to know that you are okay. You can always rely on me because, as a Richmond implant dentist, you are number one.
