What dental implant options are available to me?
Dental implants can support a crown, denture, or bridge, making them a versatile teeth replacement
solution. No matter how many teeth you have lost, you can trust dental implants to rebuild your smile.
Dental implant options include:
- Single-unit implants: When you have lost a single tooth, we can pair an implant with a crown to
restore your smile. The dentist carefully places a titanium post at a pre-determined position in the
jawbone. Once the implant heals and fuses with the jawbone, we attach a customized dental crown to
restore your smile's function and appearance.
- Implant-supported bridge: This solution is ideal for patients who have lost a few teeth in the
same area. Implant bridges anchor directly in the jawbone instead of relying on surrounding teeth
for support like traditional bridges do. They offer incredible stability without affecting the
health of the nearby teeth.
- All-on-X dental implants: If you miss most or all your teeth, you can benefit from all-on-X dental
implants. This teeth replacement system uses 4-6 dental implants to support a full arch of
replacement teeth. Instead of messy adhesives, your denture is attached to implants to offer
remarkable stability when eating or talking.
Dental implants are the closest thing to your natural teeth. They are anchored in the jawbone to rival
the stability of natural teeth. This way, you can eat, smile, and talk without feeling like you have
replacement teeth. Dental implants also last many years, look natural, and stimulate the jawbone to
maintain its volume and density.
What can I expect from the dental implant procedure?
Although implants involve surgery, the dentist prioritizes your comfort from start to finish. The
procedure is administered in a dental office within 1-2 hours after an in-depth consultation. Before
treatment, the dentist numbs your gums with powerful anesthetics to ensure you don't feel pain.
The dentist places a titanium post at a pre-determined location in the jawbone. Implant surgery requires
surgical precision. The doctor ensures the implant fixture is optimally angled and positioned to provide
full function without damaging the nearby nerves, sinuses, and other delicate structures.
After surgery, the doctor sutures the implant site and leaves it to heal and fuse with the surrounding
bone. The aftermath is a stable foundation to secure one or more prosthetic teeth. Once your implant
integrates with the jawbone, the dentist attaches an abutment and takes digital impressions to guide the
fabrication of the replacement teeth. Whether we restore your implant with a crown, denture, or bridge,
your new teeth will look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
