Dental Implants

Dental implants are a popular, permanent, customizable, and durable solution for missing teeth. Discover more about their benefits and how Rio Rancho Family Dental Care can restore your smile.

What Are Dental Implants Made From?

Implants mainly consist of two components – the metal implant stud and the visible ceramic crown. The stud replaces the tooth root and the crown serves as the replacement tooth. 
The implant stud is made from titanium, and the crown is made from dental-grade tooth-colored ceramic. These two components are connected using an abutment.

What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?

  • Dental implants provide strong biting and chewing.
  • Implants are highly stable as they are placed in the jawbone.
  • They are resistant to wear, as they are made from durable materials.
  • The ceramic crown can be customized to match your teeth.
  • Implants can fully restore your oral functionality.
  • Implants last for over 20 years.

Implant Placement?

Candidates need optimal jawbone density, enough space for the implant, and good overall health. At Rio Rancho Family Dental Care, X-rays and scans assess candidacy and create a digital impression.
Procedure:

  • Implant stud placed in jawbone.
    After a few months, abutment and crown are added.
  • Adjustments are made after a bite test.

Detailed care instructions are provided to ensure longevity.
