Yeah, dental implants are, I would say, the second best thing to a natural tooth. You know, nothing beats a natural tooth. A dental implant offers a great substitute where you can floss in between the teeth. A bridge is a good substitute to a missing tooth, but you can’t floss, right? They’re kind of harder to clean. Implants are much easier to clean. Implants give you the chewing ability back where a missing tooth, they make it so that your teeth aren’t going to shift, because if you take one piece of the puzzle out, you know, it can affect the rest of the puzzle and your teeth can move when there’s a missing tooth. And so implants can really just keep everything stable and hygienic in the mouth.
Improve Your Outlook on Life With a Full Mouth of Teeth
We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of dental implant solutions to meet the unique needs and goals of each patient. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or require restoration of all your teeth, our team has the expertise and technology to provide exceptional care and outstanding results.
We offer the following dental implant restorations:
- Implant-Crown Combination – This option is ideal for replacing a single missing tooth. Unlike a traditional bridge, it leaves your adjacent teeth unaffected. Your dentist will use an implant to support a dental crown made in-house that looks and functions like your natural tooth.
- Implant-Supported Bridge – An implant-supported bridge is used to replace multiple adjacent missing teeth. It provides a stable, long-lasting solution that preserves your jawbone health and facial structure.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – For patients who are missing all or most of their teeth, these dentures offer a more secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. With implants keeping the denture in place, no adhesive is needed and you won’t have to worry about teeth that slip or shift.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – Similar to implant-retained dentures, these teeth provide an even more stable and permanent solution. The denture is fixed in place and can only be removed by a dentist. Because of this, no special care is needed to keep your new teeth clean. You simply brush and floss as you would with natural teeth.
- Full-Mouth Reconstruction – In cases of extensive tooth loss or damage, this treatment combines multiple dental implant restorations to completely restore your smile’s function, health, and beauty.
We rely on advanced 3-D imaging from a cone beam CT scanner to ensure precise, accurate treatment planning and optimal implant placement. This detailed imaging allows us to assess your jawbone density, nerve locations, and other crucial factors before placing your implants.
During your implant placement procedure, we will use a special ultraviolet light that has been shown to accelerate the healing process and encourage the implant to fuse more quickly with your bone. This innovative approach can lead to a shorter recovery time and more predictable, long-lasting results.
