Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, which fuses with the bone (osseointegration), providing a stable foundation for artificial teeth. Implants offer superior support compared to traditional dentures and bridges, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Experience the convenience of same-day implant placement, where patients can receive dental implants and temporary crowns or bridges, in a single visit. This innovative procedure is ideal for those who wish to minimize the time spent without teeth. Candidates for this procedure typically require adequate jawbone density, which can be assessed during a thorough evaluation.
Benefits of Same-Day Implants:
A single dental implant is an excellent option for replacing one missing tooth. The process involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, allowing it to heal and integrate with the bone. Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached to the post, restoring the tooth’s appearance and function.
Benefits:
For patients missing multiple teeth or those who wear traditional dentures, removable implant-supported dentures offer enhanced stability and comfort. These dentures are anchored by a series of dental implants, preventing movement during eating and speaking.
Benefits:
Fixed implant bridges are ideal for patients who have lost multiple teeth in a row. This option involves placing two or more dental implants to support a bridge of crowns that fill the gap left by missing teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, which rely on adjacent teeth for support, implant bridges do not compromise the integrity of surrounding healthy teeth.
Benefits:
The All-on-4 implant technique is a revolutionary approach to replace an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. This method maximizes available bone and provides a strong foundation for a full set of prosthetic teeth, often completed the same day with a provisional (temporary) full set of teeth.
Benefits:
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, and this is often managed with local anesthesia. Post-operative pain can usually be controlled with over-the-counter pain medications
The duration varies based on individual healing times and the complexity of the case. Same-day implants can offer immediate results although needs several months to place the final prosthesis, while traditional treatments may take several months to complete.
Dental implants boast a high success rate, usually around 97%, depending on factors such as the patient's oral health and adherence to aftercare protocols.
Care for dental implants is similar to natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are essential for maintaining the health of your implants.
Coverage for dental implants varies by insurance plan. It’s advisable to check with your provider about specific coverage details.
Most adults in good health are candidates for dental implants. A thorough evaluation, including consultation and diagnostic imaging, is necessary to determine suitability.
