What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are prosthetics surgically placed into your jaw to restore the look and function of your teeth. They are composed of a post, abutment, and restoration. The implant post is designed to be your new tooth root and will fuse with your bone after placement, serving as a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth. The abutment is the connector piece that secures the post to your new tooth, and the restoration is the visible portion of your new tooth.
Our Tooth Replacement Options
Our office strives to give you the versatility of offering multiple tooth replacement options for your dental restoration. The dental implant options we provide range from single to full mouth restorations. Our tooth replacement options are:
- Crowns: We offer single-tooth crown implants as a restorative dental procedure to replace a missing tooth. Our team works to create aesthetically pleasing results so your new implant-supported crown blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
- Bridges: We offer implant-supported bridges as dental restoration to replace three or more teeth in a row. They are multiple tooth restorations supported by implants, keeping your remaining teeth from shifting out of place and restoring the fullness of your smile.
- Dentures: Dentures offered by our dentist range from partial to full mouth restorations. We proudly offer snap-on dentures, a type of dental prosthetic that combines the stability of dental implants with removable dentures.
- All-on-4®: Our office offers an innovative approach to implant dentistry, All-on-4, which allows for full arch restorations supported by only four implants, promoting faster healing than other full mouth restoration options. We will perform a full oral examination to determine if you qualify for this procedure.
Our Pretreatment Process
There may be cases where treatment is needed before receiving a dental implant to ensure the stability and longevity of your new restoration. Our skilled dentist can perform pretreatments in-house when needed. Our dentist has the experience to perform dental extractions in-house when a tooth is too decayed or damaged to save, allowing for an easy transition to dental implant treatment. If your jawbone is too thin or decayed to support an implant, our dentist will perform a bone graft before dental implant treatment to give your new implant a sturdy foundation.
How to Care for Your Dental Implant
Dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution for tooth loss. With proper care, your implant post can last a lifetime, while the restoration may need to be replaced over time. You can get the most out of your dental implant by maintaining good oral hygiene and routine dental checkups, eliminating excessive smoking and drinking, and protecting your implant when participating in strenuous activities or sports with a mouth guard. Always follow the after-care instructions given by our dentist, which may include guidelines for oral hygiene, dietary restrictions, and medications to take. Adhering to these instructions can promote proper healing and increase the longevity of your implant and restoration.
