Dental Implants

Studies show that Floridians, by nature, are just as image conscious as we are health conscious. A missing tooth detracts from overall appearance and adds years to your image. But a dental implant can restore functionality, stop bone loss, and prevent the appearance of premature aging due to missing teeth.

The dental implant process begins with a small titanium screw, placed in the jawbone during a simple oral surgery. The body accepts this alloy so well, that the bone actually grafts to the screw. After a period of healing, Dr. Richardson will place a cosmetic crown on the screw that simulates a natural tooth and blend with your surrounding teeth. Dental implants have restored youth, strength, and health to thousands of smiles.

Missing teeth affect your lifestyle, your image, and your self-esteem. Don’t delay in calling Dr. Richardson in our Melbourne office for an appointment to discuss the possibilities of dental implants for you.
