There are major advances being made in implant dentistry and my team and I are up on all of them. That means we can get you dental implants that look like your real teeth and feel like your real teeth.

I use dental implants in some important ways. First, many people prefer dental implants to getting a root canal and a crown. With a dental implant, we don’t leave the dead tooth in your jaw. Some people believe the implant is a better solution than a root canal in many cases.

Then the dental implant can also be used to anchor a partial or full denture. That’s right – dentures are a necessity for many folks. Dentures can bother a person. They are always loose and restrict your ability to eat what you want.

So sometimes I will put in a few implants. These can give the dentures something to hold onto. I’ve seen people’s lives transformed this way. It makes a huge difference and it lets them feel more confident and not even think about their dentures at mealtimes.

Another way I use implants is to replace an old bridge or aging crowns that are leaky and need to be fixed. The implants can be a better solution than the old crowns or bridge that need to be replaced.

You may have had a fine bridge or great crowns. No reflection on the quality.

But every dental restoration has a limited lifetime. When it’s time to replace what may have been fantastic crown and bridgework done earlier in life, you may want to consider my Richmond dental implants.

Implants don’t have some of the issues of a bridge. A bridge has gum beneath it that you can’t get to easily with a brush, while an implant has a crown that I make but it is anchored into the gum without an empty space there. Implants may be somewhat kinder to your gums and jaw for this reason.

I urge you to replace any missing teeth and to try to do so with implants. Missing teeth cause further bone loss in the jaw which is bad news in the long run. A missing tooth causes the other teeth to start to move and can result in the teeth getting out of alignment.

I work very hard to help you keep your natural teeth. But sometimes we can’t do that. A dental implant is the next best thing.

There are a lot of folks who see me who have various dental issues and we can solve the health issues but often they want a dazzling smile also. The way to do that is what I sometimes refer to as “almost instant orthodontics”. I am speaking of the new class of dental porelain veneers.
