If you’re missing a tooth—or several—dental implants provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution. At Rock Creek Dental, Dr. Kelly Reynolds and Dr. Derrick Peck specialize in implant dentistry to restore your smile’s function and aesthetics. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants replace the entire tooth structure, including the root, for unparalleled stability and durability.
How Dental Implants Work
The implant process involves three key steps:
- Implant Placement – A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as an artificial tooth root. This post stimulates the bone, preventing the deterioration that often follows tooth loss.
- Healing & Integration – Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the bone in osseointegration, ensuring a strong foundation for the restoration.
- Final Restoration – Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the implant, completing your smile.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Restores full chewing ability – Eat your favorite foods without worry
- Prevents bone loss – Maintains jawbone density and facial structure
- Feels and functions like natural teeth – No slipping or discomfort
- Long-term durability – With proper care, implants can last a lifetime
- Protects surrounding teeth – Unlike bridges, implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most individuals with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. However, if you have gum disease, extensive decay, or bone loss, additional treatments may be needed before implant placement. Our team will assess your oral health and bone structure to determine the best approach for your unique needs.
