Living with a missing tooth can make simple things feel off, from eating meals to trying to have a conversation. Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth.
Dr. Ryan DiQuattro, DMD, FAGD, aims to restore smiles in ways that feel natural and comfortable. His Fellowship distinction, earned by fewer than 6% of dentists, reflects his commitment to doing things the right way. He uses that experience to provide dental implants that are built to last at DiQuattro Advanced Dentistry in Scottsdale, Arizona.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants consist of a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone where your tooth is missing, where it acts like a natural tooth root. Once that is healed, we attach a custom crown to the top of the implant to complete the restoration.
The new tooth stays firmly in place and looks like it belongs there. You won’t have to deal with shifting or discomfort, which makes those everyday tasks like eating and speaking feel easy again.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants work by gradually rebuilding your tooth from the foundation up, with each stage supporting more stability over time.
Treatment typically happens in a few steps:
- Consultation and planning: We take a close look at your oral health and outline a treatment plan tailored to you
- Implant placement: The implant is carefully placed in the jaw to create a strong foundation
- Healing phase: Your jawbone bonds with the implant, helping it become secure over time
- Final restoration: A custom-made tooth is placed on top to complete your smile
Why Patients Choose Dental Implants
Dental implants are a popular choice because they offer several benefits:
- Long-lasting solution: Designed to hold up well with proper care
- Natural appearance: Crafted to match surrounding teeth
- Stable fit: No shifting or slipping while eating or speaking
- Bone support: Helps maintain the shape of your jaw over time
