Strong, durable, and stable, dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry. They replace tooth roots, halting and reversing shifting teeth and jawbone loss. The health and structure of the jaw bone are crucial for the success of the implant process. They also provide a secure foundation for high quality replacement teeth, and restore virtually all original bite strength.
Despite common myths, nearly anyone can be a candidate for dental implants. If you have an underlying condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, you are at increased risk from surgery, so those conditions should be well-managed. If you have gum disease, tooth decay, or other oral health problems, we will need to correct those before your implant placement. Healthy gum tissue is essential for the success of dental implants. If you have extensive jaw bone loss, you may need a bone graft to support the implants. Within these parameters, though, there is no reason not to enjoy the benefits of dental implants.
Single Tooth Dental Implants
One dental implant capped with a crown can replace a single tooth lost due to tooth loss. We will insert a tiny sliver of biocompatible titanium into your jawbone and cover it with a healing cap or cover screw. Over the next few weeks, it will fuse with the bone. We will then remove the cover and attach your new crown with a piece known as an abutment. Implant dentistry ensures successful outcomes and patient satisfaction by focusing on patient care and comfort during the procedure.
Dental Implant Supported Bridge
While a traditional bridge requires us to sacrifice healthy tooth structure in the supporting teeth, an implant supported bridge leaves the adjacent teeth undisturbed. If you are missing three or more teeth in a row, we can support the bridge on one implant at each end, creating a highly functional and aesthetic restoration. A dental bridge can significantly restore the health and appearance of your smile by replacing missing teeth, preventing tooth shifting and reducing the risk of decay and periodontal disease.
Implant Supported Dentures
Traditional dentures tend to pinch and rub, and they can make it nearly impossible to eat many foods. Implant supported dentures are strong and durable, allowing you to eat even tough meat and sticky candy with ease. Just two implants can stabilize a removable denture, while a handful of implants can secure a full arch of permanently attached replacement teeth.
Full Arch with Only Four Implants
If you are missing all of the teeth on your lower or upper arch, consider full arch restoration. Using just four immediate-load dental implants, you can leave our office on the day of your extractions with a full, fixed arch of high-quality replacement teeth.
