DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are designed to mimic the natural function of real teeth, and are surgically embedded into the jawbone to provide a strong and stable base for prosthetic teeth. Unlike other types of dental restorations, such as dentures and bridges, dental implants fuse with the jawbone over time, creating a permanent and natural-feeling solution for individuals who suffer from tooth loss. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last for many years.
SINGLE IMPLANTS
A single dental implant is designed to replace a single missing tooth – restoring full function and appearance of the smile while also preventing the development of problems associated with tooth loss. This ensures that the smile remains healthy and patients can enjoy a prosthetic that feels and looks natural.
IMPLANT-SUPPORTED BRIDGES
Unlike traditional bridges, which are supported by natural teeth, implant-supported bridges are held in place by dental implants on either side of the appliance – making them much more stable and enduring. In addition, the fact that the appliance derives support from the jawbone makes it much more natural, healthy, and beneficial to the oral anatomy. If you are missing multiple teeth in a row and are considering your options, be sure to talk to our team about implant-supported bridges.
IMPLANT-SUPPORTED DENTURES
If you are considering dentures to replace missing teeth, you might be wondering which type is best for you. Traditional dentures are a common option, but implant-supported dentures offer a superior fit and many advantages. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures are anchored into the jawbone using four dental implants along the arch. This innovative design provides a more secure and stable fit than other dentures.
