DENTAL IMPLANTS

A dental implant procedure is a metal or ceramic device that is inserted into the bone where the root of a missing tooth once resided. After its placement, the implant has an artificial tooth attached to it, allowing for normal function. In terms of restoration, implants come closest to resembling your own natural teeth. They are not only an extremely esthetically pleasing solution, but also help to preserve the bone.

Whether an implant is right for you depends on the placement of the implant, the amount of bone available below the missing tooth, the spacing between adjacent teeth and the design of the restoration that will be placed on the implant. If you are a candidate for dentures or have multiple missing teeth, you may benefit from tooth implant treatment. Our dentists will determine whether the amount of bone available in the jaw will support an implant. Implants can be an exceptional source of anchorage for patients with loose dentures.

When a tooth is missing, a dental implant with a crown is an excellent treatment for replacing it. Placing an implant generally involves several phases.

When a tooth must be extracted, we can sometimes place an implant in the socket immediately after the tooth has been removed. Placing the implant immediately after an extraction generally involves several phases.

If you have lost a tooth due to periodontal disease, you probably have significant bone loss. That’s because when you lose a tooth, the jaw becomes smaller where the tooth was.

When your jawbone has receded or lost its shape, we can often augment it to replace missing bone and help new bone to grow. Depending on where bone loss has occurred, we’ll select the appropriate procedure, which can include sinus grafts, bone grafts, and ridge preservation.

When several neighboring teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge is an excellent treatment for replacing them. Placing an implant-supported bridge generally involves several phases.

When all the teeth in an arch are missing, an excellent treatment for replacing them is a denture secured with implants. Depending on your situation, the denture may snap onto the implants in your jaw, or it may clip to a bar that’s attached to the implants.

If you have loose, uncomfortable dentures, stabilizing them with mini-implants can be an excellent solution. The dentures are held securely in place by narrow implants that have been placed in the jaw.
