Dental Implants

As a permanent, long-lasting solution to missing teeth, W Dentistry offers dental implants. Dental implants allow our patients to regain the utility of their mouth and visual appearance of their smile. Our dentist, Brad A. Walker, D.D.S., will create a customized plan for each patient. We will help you understand how best to prepare and care for your new implant during your consultation with our dentist.

The Process

Dental implants are unrivaled in their stability and feel when compared to other dental restorations. Unlike crowns, bridges or dentures, dental implants simulate the whole structure of a tooth, supporting your oral health for a lifetime when cared for properly.

Dental implants are made of three main elements:

  • The post acts as the new root of the tooth. This gives the dental implant its incredible stability and helps support the health of your jawbone.
  • The abutment connects the other elements of the dental implant and protects the health of your gums.
  • The restoration completes the dental implant and can be a crown, bridge or denture, depending on your needs.

Dental Implant Restorations

A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth designed to replace your tooth after it has been lost or extracted. Dental implants are designed to replace both the root and crown of your teeth to give you a solution that looks, feels and functions just like your original tooth. Dental implants consist of two main parts, the implant post and the implant restoration.

The Process

Our dentist, Dr. Brad A. Walker, will meet with you to design and plan the restorative process. Next, an oral surgeon will place the dental implant in your jaw. A temporary restoration is placed and the healing process begins. After sufficient healing, the permanent restoration is created and placed. Depending on how many teeth you are missing, this restoration may be a single crown, a dental bridge, or a complete or partial denture. During your consultation, our dentist will determine which type of restoration will provide you with the best results for your oral health, function and smile.

Your implant restoration is custom designed to give you a natural and long-lasting solution for your smile. Each restoration we create is designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and durable so that you can enjoy the results of your treatment for years to come. Dr. Walker has had much success placing dental implants throughout his surgical career. It is a superior option for many who have lost teeth and want a more stable restoration.
