How an Implant Replaces a Tooth

An implant is a small post that sits in the jawbone and takes the place of the missing root. A custom crown is attached on top and shaded to blend in with your other teeth. Because it is anchored in bone, an implant does not rest on your gums or lean on the teeth beside it.

Steadier Dentures

Fixed dentures: a full set of teeth held permanently on implants. They stay in, and you care for them like natural teeth.
Mini-implant dentures: a removable denture that clicks onto small implants, so it doesn't slip while you eat or talk.

What to Expect

Your first visit is an exam with low-radiation digital X-rays so Dr. Reddy can check your gums and bone. She will explain which options fit your mouth, how many visits are involved and the timeline. Implant treatment usually happens in stages over several months, which gives the implant time to bond with the bone before the final tooth is attached.

Common Questions

Who does each step? A trusted oral surgeon places the implant post. Once it has healed, you come back to Readington Dental, where Dr. Reddy attaches and fits your new tooth or denture.

Am I a candidate for an implant? Most people with healthy gums and enough jawbone are. Smoking and some health conditions can slow healing, so we review your health history before recommending treatment.

How do I look after an implant? Brush and floss around it like a natural tooth and keep up with your regular cleanings.
