Dental implants are long-lasting replacements for missing teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. In Rialto, our dental implant procedure uses a small titanium post that’s placed in the jawbone to act as a sturdy foundation for a custom-made crown or bridge.

Most adults with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone structure make great candidates for dental implants. If you’re missing one or more teeth and want a permanent, natural-looking solution, our Rialto dental team can assess your options during a consultation.

The dental implant process typically takes a few months from start to finish. It involves placing the implant, allowing time for healing and bone integration, and then attaching a custom crown or restoration. We walk each Rialto patient through the timeline based on their specific needs.

With proper care, dental implants can last for decades—or even a lifetime. They’re one of the most durable tooth replacement options available. Routine checkups and good oral hygiene help keep your implant healthy and functioning long term.

Insurance coverage for dental implants varies by provider. Some plans may contribute to parts of the treatment, such as the crown or exam. Our office in Rialto is happy to review your benefits and offer flexible payment options to help you manage the cost of care.

Unlike removable dentures, implants are permanently secured into your jawbone, allowing for greater comfort, improved chewing ability, and long-term jawbone health. Patients in Rialto choose implants because they look more natural and don’t require adhesives or daily removal.
