Your Personalized Solutions for Missing Teeth

At Ryan A. Walker Dental, we offer a range of solutions to help you reclaim your smile and confidence:

DENTAL CHECKUPS & CLEANINGS

DENTAL BRIDGES & CROWNS

When missing two or more teeth along an arch, we can restore your smile using a dental bridge. Consisting of two dental crowns that rest on top of altered abutment teeth, the remainder of the restoration includes pontics or artificial teeth that sit atop the gums. Not only does this fill in the gap left behind by missing teeth, but it also allows for improved bite force and greater clarity when speaking to others. With ample care, a dental bridge can last up to a decade or more.

NIGHTGUARDS FOR BRUXISM

DENTURES & PARTIALS

When faced with many or an entire arch of missing teeth, full and partial dentures might just be the right solution for you. Made from acrylic, their gum-colored bases serve as a foundation for artificial teeth. While partials include metal clasps that attach to natural teeth to help hold the prosthetic in place, full dentures rely solely on your natural suction and denture adhesive.

NIGHTGUARDS FOR BRUXISM

DENTAL IMPLANTS

The frequent adjustments and replacements required with dentures and dental bridges can get old for those who are undergoing treatment for missing teeth. However, with the help of dental implants, this aspect of care is no longer an issue. Dr. Walker and our team are here to provide patients like yourself with a more advanced solution designed to permanently reside inside your mouth for 30+ years or even a lifetime.

Are you nervous about seeing the dentist? Don’t worry, Dr Walker is here to help you.

Everything You Need To Know About Dental Impants︱Dr. Ryan A. Walker on HTV Dental Expert Show

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.

WHY CHOOSE US FOR YOUR MISSING TEETH TREATMENT?

Ryan A Walker Dental

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.

5 Star Review Lynette R
Ryan A Walker Dental

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.

5 Star Review Mona S
Ryan A Walker Dental

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!

5 Star Review GWen P

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.

BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

  • Improved appearance thanks to their ability to prevent facial sagging
  • Greater confidence when looking in the mirror and when surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues
  • Greater jawbone stimulation that minimizes the risk of facial collapse commonly caused by tooth loss and bone deterioration
  • Minimized risk of systemic issues commonly linked to tooth loss (i.e., diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis)
  • Ability to eat the foods you love because of greater bite force and chewing power

WHO DENTAL IMPLANTS CAN HELP

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.

I called with a chipped front tooth & they told me to hurry in, i was so shocked. I didn't even have an appointment for today. They fit me in their schedule though. He fixed it in the office while calming me down from my dental anxiety, he didnt try to shove a million proceduresdown my throat. He listened to what I could afford and will later discuss a dental plan. I walked out happy. I highly recommend.

My family and I have been patients of Dr Ryan Walker for several years now. From the time you walk in the door until the time you walk out the door, you are treated with respect and compassion. I personally have told Dr.Walker SEVERAL times that I don’t know how he does it, but he ALWAYS seems to find the best people to work for / with him. Everyone in that office completely compliments each other!!! Making for a wonderful staff! To me that’s just as important as the work Dr Walker does. And speaking of that…he is an ABSOLUTE AMAZING dentist and person! He is very compassionate and very professional. He is thorough and has state of the art equipment to make your visit easier and more enjoyable. (Yes. I am still speaking about a DENTIST OFFICE lol)Thanks Dr Walker and your staff for treating your patients with such kindness!!!

Immediately, the staff were so nice. Eva made me feel welcomed, also offering me something to drink. The wait span was very short. After I got into the back, the hygienist and her partner were very friendly. I was very shocked when I laid back-to see a tv on the ceiling. Dr Walker was super nice and open to questions and concerns. He was opened to get to know me as a person, rather than just my dental concerns. He helped me figure out plans for treatments easily. He told me things that my old dentist did not care for or see. 100% recommend !! 🩷

My experience was very pleasant. I called in because I was extreme pain due to a broken wisdom tooth. I was able to be seen the same day. Went into the office everyone there was pleasant and helpful and kind. They immediately let me know I was in good hands. Dr. Ryan was amazing and he shook my hand which gave me reassurance because I was already in pain and nervous. And to top it all off, he called personally to check on me after the visit and make sure everything was ok. I absolutely recommend this facility if you are like me and need emergency dental work.
