DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental Implants

Welcome to Mechanicsville Family Dentistry! Dr. Allison Tran and her team are here to offer outstanding dental care to the Mechanicsville, VA community. If you're thinking about dental implants to restore your smile and boost your oral health, you're in the perfect spot.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are state-of-the-art tooth replacements that mimic the natural structure of your teeth. They are made up of three parts: the titanium post that acts as a root, the abutment that connects the implant to the crown, and the porcelain crown that serves as your new tooth.

Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, dental implants are permanent and function just like natural teeth. This means you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing your implant won't slip or move around in your mouth. Additionally, dental implants help maintain bone density by stimulating bone growth, preventing future oral health issues.

Dental Implant Options

At Mechanicsville Family Dentistry, we offer dental implant services tailored to meet your unique needs:

Implants

Ideal for replacing single missing teeth or multiple teeth throughout the mouth. Each implant is individually placed and restored to blend seamlessly with your smile.

Snap-in Dentures

For patients missing multiple teeth or entire arches, snap-in dentures provide a stable and comfortable solution. These dentures securely attach to implants, preventing slippage and allowing for confident chewing and speaking.

All-on-X

This revolutionary treatment option for patients missing a full arch of teeth involves strategically placing a few implants to support a full-arch dental prosthesis, providing unparalleled stability and functionality.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer numerous advantages compared to traditional tooth replacement options:

Implants look and feel like your natural teeth, restoring your smile and confidence.

With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term investment in your oral health.

Unlike dental bridges, implants do not require altering adjacent teeth for support, preserving your natural tooth structure.

Implants eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with ease.
