What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium or zirconia post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. After it fuses with the bone, a crown, bridge or denture is attached on top. Implants need enough healthy bone and gum to support them.

Dental implants: specialist or general dentist?

Implants are placed by oral surgeons, periodontists, and general dentists with extra implant training. Specialists are often recommended when bone grafting, sinus lifts, or full-arch cases like All-on-4 are involved. The crown is often made by a general dentist or prosthodontist.

None of Rio Grande City's 23 clinics offering dental implants list an oral surgeon on staff in our data yet. See oral surgeons in Rio Grande City
