DENTAL IMPLANTS

tooth replacements in hillsborough county

According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, dental implants are the most successful way to replace missing teeth. In addition, dental implants provide a long-term solution for missing teeth, as they can last up to 25 years or more with proper care. At River Hills Dentistry, we use the latest technology to provide our patients with the highest quality dental implant services.

Single Tooth Implants

A single tooth replacement is a dental implant that is used to replace one missing tooth. This type of implant is placed in the space where your missing tooth used to be and functions just like your natural teeth. With a single tooth replacement, you'll be able to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing that your new tooth is securely in place.

No more worrying about your teeth slipping or falling out

All-on-4 Implants

This signature dental implant treatment plan uses just four strategically placed implants to support an entire upper or lower arch of new, permanent teeth.

Multiple Tooth Implants

Multiple tooth replacement implants are a type of dental implant that is used to replace two or more missing teeth.

They are a great alternative to traditional dentures, which can be uncomfortable and unreliable.

Frequently Asked Implant Dentistry questions

  • What are dental implants?

    Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place.

  • How does implant dentistry work?

    The first step in implant dentistry is to place the implants in the jawbone. Once the implants have bonded with the bone, they will be used to support a replacement tooth or bridge.

  • What are the benefits of implant dentistry?

    There are many benefits to implant dentistry, including:

    • Improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, so they can improve your appearance.
    • Improved oral health. Unlike dentures, dental implants do not need to be removed for cleaning. This helps to improve your oral health.
    • Increased comfort. Dental implants are more comfortable than dentures, and they will not slip or move around in your mouth.
    • Improved speech. Dental implants will not affect your speech the way dentures can.
    • Improved self-esteem. Dental implants can boost your self-esteem by improving your appearance and giving you back your smile.

  • What are the risks of implant dentistry?

    The risks of implant dentistry are rare, but they include:

    • Infection. The implants may become infected, which can lead to pain and swelling.
    • Nerve damage. If the implants are placed too close to the nerves in your jaw, you may experience numbness, tingling, or pain.
    • Sinus problems. If the implants are placed too close to your sinuses, you may experience congestion, pain, or difficulty breathing.

  • How much does implant dentistry cost?

    The cost of implant dentistry can vary depending on the type of procedure you need and the number of implants you require. The average cost of a single tooth implant is typically between $1,000 and $3,000. However, if you require multiple implants or more extensive treatment, the cost can increase significantly.
