A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Implants are an option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, or some other reason. The best candidates for implants have healthy gums and do not have periodontal disease. Implants can be placed during a visit of several days. Once completed, the bone must heal for four to six months. After the four to six month healing, the implant will have the abutment attached, and the crown (or bridge) can be attached. Implant Systems used by Rio Dental include lines by Zimmer, Imtec, and Dicoa. Additionally, when bone grafts are required, we are now using [Treatment name redacted] treatments which dramatically improve the healing process. This is one of the latest technologies in implant dentistry.

Porcelain veneers, or porcelain laminates, are wafer-thin shells of porcelain which are bonded onto the front side of teeth so to make a cosmetic improvement. Porcelain veneers are routinely used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned.
