Dental implants can replace missing teeth with a stable foundation designed to support chewing function, appearance, and long-term oral health. River Market Dental helps patients understand implant options, alternatives, and the steps involved in tooth replacement.
Implant options may include
- Single-tooth implant replacement
- Multiple-tooth implant planning
- Implant-supported dentures
- Full-mouth rehabilitation discussions when appropriate
- Coordination with specialists when needed
What to expect
An implant consultation evaluates the missing tooth area, gum and bone health, medical history, bite, esthetic goals, and whether imaging or specialist coordination is needed. Patients also review alternatives such as bridges or dentures.
Full-arch option
All on X implant options
For patients missing most or all teeth in an arch, River Market Dental can discuss All on X-style treatment planning as one possible path. This approach uses a planned number of dental implants to help support a full-arch set of replacement teeth, with the goal of improving stability compared with a traditional removable denture.
The right option depends on bone support, gum health, bite forces, esthetic goals, budget, and whether a removable or fixed solution is most appropriate. Dr. LeSher will review full-mouth replacement options during an implant consultation and explain when All on X is clinically appropriate.
FAQs
What is a dental implant? A dental implant is a small post placed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or prosthesis.
Am I a candidate for implants? Candidacy depends on bone health, gum health, medical factors, bite forces, and the restoration needed.
Are implants better than dentures? It depends. Implants can add stability, while dentures may be appropriate for other goals or budgets. A consultation helps compare options.
Can implants replace all teeth? Full-arch implant options may be available for some patients, often with specialist collaboration.
How long does treatment take? Timelines vary depending on healing, bone needs, implant placement, and final restoration design.
