Dental Implants: Restore Your Smile, Confidence, and Comfort
Imagine a future where you can smile freely, eat comfortably, and speak confidently—all without worrying about missing teeth. Dental implants provide a permanent, natural-looking solution to replace missing teeth, giving you back not only a complete smile but also the freedom to enjoy life without hesitation.
At Ryan A. Walker Dental, we understand that replacing missing teeth is more than just a cosmetic procedure. It’s about restoring your self-assurance and protecting your long-term health. Whether you’re struggling with a single missing tooth or need a full mouth restoration, dental implants offer the stability, strength, and beauty to make you feel like yourself again.

Why Choose Dental Implants?
Unmatched Strength and Stability
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are securely anchored into your jawbone, providing the same level of strength as natural teeth. With implants, you can enjoy your favorite foods without worry, speak with clarity, and smile knowing that your teeth are secure.
A Natural Look and Feel
Long-Lasting Results
Preventing Bone Loss
WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants are titanium, screw-like posts that mimic tooth roots. They are the only tooth replacement solution available that restores the full root-to-crown structure. When placed inside the jawbone, they fuse over several months in a process known as osseointegration. When ready, a customized restoration is placed on top to complete your smile.
Dental implants are known for their longevity and functionality, allowing you to enjoy a greater bite force and chewing power as well as speech clarity and confidence.
At Ryan A. Walker Dental, we specialize in personalized care, ensuring your dental implant experience is smooth, comfortable, and successful. Our team uses the latest in dental technology to precisely place your implants, providing optimal results for both function and appearance.

WHY CHOOSE US FOR YOUR IMPLANT TREATMENT?

I’m scared to death of dentist! But when you walk into their office, it is the most welcoming feeling. The staff is so nice, passionate, understanding, and they have this calming nature that relaxes the anxiety you may have had. Dr. Walker was amazing and truly cares about his patients.

Dr. Walker is down to earth, friendly, knowledgeable, very professional, and cares a great deal about his patients. Marion and Eva are absolutely delightful as well. I do not hesitate to recommend them if you are looking for quality dental care and friendly, caring people.

Referred by a friend after very bad experience with Aspen Dental! Dr. Walker eased my anxiety, very gentle and explained everything to me to where I could understand. He took a lot of time with me and did not feel rushed. I felt very at ease with everyone!
Who Might Need Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a viable option for most adults with tooth loss. Although a thorough consultation must be completed before moving forward with treatment, we can determine how best to proceed so that your dental implant placement is most successful. When meeting with Dr. Walker, he will discuss the type of dental implant restoration you will need based on the number of teeth you are missing.
MISSING A SINGLE TOOTH
Instead of being one of the 120 million Americans living with a single missing tooth, we can easily replace it using one dental implant post and a customized crown. By addressing only the empty socket, we can avoid altering healthy abutment teeth – a process that is required when receiving a traditional dental bridge.
MISSING MULTIPLE TEETH
When faced with multiple missing teeth, we can position two dental implant posts in the outer sockets and attach a customized bridge to sit on top. Not only does this allow you to keep your existing healthy teeth, but you can also enjoy a more secure and permanent prosthetic that can remain in place for decades.
MISSING ALL OF YOUR TEETH
Instead of relying on traditional dentures to restore and rebuild your smile, let us use implant dentures. Requiring between four and six dental implants, we will position them accordingly for maximum support before securing a customized denture on top.
DENTAL IMPLANTS – FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION
Dental implants can be used to hold a ‘fixed dental bridge’ which essentially replaces an entire arch of teeth. These bridges replace both the gums and teeth and can be made from a variety of materials.
Many patients favour this treatment because of its perception as the most natural and non-removable solution to replacing a full set of teeth.
This treatment is only suitable for people of good health, with no teeth or teeth beyond restoration, who are motivated to maintain their bridges and implants with regular checkups and hygiene at home.
At Ryan A. Walker Dental, we’re committed to providing exceptional care and restoring your confidence through innovative implant solutions. Take the first step toward a healthier, happier smile by scheduling a consultation with us today. Let’s work together to bring back your confidence, comfort, and peace of mind.

THE 4-STEP DENTAL IMPLANT PROCESS
There is a four-step process that all patients must complete to ensure successful dental implant placement:
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – You will meet with Dr. Walker to determine your candidacy as well as if you require any preliminary treatments such as bone grafting, periodontal therapy, or tooth extraction.
- Dental Implant Surgery – Depending on the severity of your case, you may remain in-house for your dental implant surgery, or Dr. Walker may refer you to an outside oral surgeon.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – Once your implants are in place, osseointegration will occur, which means the posts will fuse with the jawbone. After several months, you will return to have your abutments put into place.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – The final step is to receive your customized restoration, which may include a crown, bridge, or denture depending on how many teeth are missing.

UNDERSTANDING THE COST OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
The cost of dental implants cannot be determined until you schedule a consultation with our team. It is during this visit that Dr. Walker will go over your medical history, take digital images of your smile, and recommend whether you require preliminary treatments or not. Once we have a clearer understanding of what is expected, we can draft an estimate for you to review. We’ll then go over your available payment options as well as help you get the maximum reimbursement from your insurance company should you decide to file a claim.
