Dental Implants in Riverpark
At Clove Dental in Riverpark, we specialize in transforming smiles and restoring confidence through advanced dental implant solutions. Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering a durable, natural-looking, and functional option. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, our expert team is dedicated to helping you regain a complete, radiant smile.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, these posts support custom-designed crowns, bridges, or dentures to restore the appearance and function of missing teeth. Implants provide a long-lasting and stable foundation, closely mimicking the look, feel, and performance of natural teeth.
Dental implants are suitable for patients who want a permanent solution to tooth loss without relying on traditional dentures or bridges.
Signs You Might Need Dental Implants
- Missing Teeth: One or more missing teeth that affect your smile or chewing ability.
- Unstable Dentures: Ill-fitting or loose dentures that cause discomfort or embarrassment.
- Bone Loss: Significant jawbone deterioration due to prolonged tooth loss.
- Difficulty Chewing: Trouble eating certain foods due to missing teeth or discomfort with dentures.
- Gaps in Your Smile: Visible gaps that impact your confidence and overall appearance.
- Tooth Decay or Damage: Severely damaged teeth that are beyond repair and need replacement.
If you’re unsure whether dental implants are the right solution for you, our team at Clove Dental in Riverpark will provide a comprehensive consultation to determine the best treatment for your needs.

The Dental Implant Procedure
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough evaluation, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your jawbone health and determine the best implant placement strategy.
2. Treatment Planning
A customized treatment plan is created to outline the steps of your implant journey, including the type of restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) that will be used.
3. Implant Placement
During a minor surgical procedure, the titanium implant is carefully placed into the jawbone. The area is allowed to heal for several weeks to ensure the implant integrates with the bone (a process called osseointegration).
4. Abutment Placement
Once the implant has fully integrated, an abutment is attached to serve as a connector between the implant and the dental restoration.
5. Restoration Placement
The final step involves securing your custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture onto the abutment, completing your smile restoration.
6. Post-Treatment Care
Regular follow-up appointments will ensure your implants remain healthy and functional. Our team will provide guidance on proper care and maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Most adults in good oral and overall health are candidates for implants. Those with insufficient jawbone density may require bone grafting to support the implants.

Some insurance plans provide partial coverage for implants. Our team will help you understand your benefits and explore payment options to suit your budget.
