Dental Implants

Dental implants are the replacement of tooth roots in the mouth. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. Dental implants are small anchors made of biocompatible metal called titanium, which are placed in the jawbone. The anchors begin to fuse with the bone over a few months.

After the fusing process, known as osseointegration, abutment posts are inserted into the anchors to allow for the placement of dental prosthetic attachments such as crowns, bridges or dentures.

Once the implant posts have been attached, our office will create and place your custom made restorations on the already placed dental implants to complete your new smile.

Implant Supported Bridge

An implant supported bridge is a restorative solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. The bridge replaces multiple adjacent missing teeth without the use of a denture. This restoration typically requires two implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides a functional and aesthetic replacement for the patient’s natural teeth.

Implant Supported Dentures

Implant supported dentures can be either fixed or removable. This solution requires the placement of two or more implants. If a removable denture is selected, the denture will “snap” on to the implant rather than requiring the use of denture paste or adhesives. Removable dentures can be taken out for cleaning at night.

This technique offers many advantages over traditional dentures.

Easy to care for, this solution can simulate the look and feel of natural teeth and stay fixed in place with the implants acting as anchors. Patients will not experience the typical rocking and movement or gum irritation associated with dentures.

Dental implant placement can also help alleviate the sunken look that can occur with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone growth in the area around the implant. This process is called osseointegration and can also help prevent future bone loss.

Teeth-In-An-Hour™

Using computer guided implant placement, this procedure is a unique implant solution that allows patients who are missing all of their upper or lower teeth to replace a full arch of teeth using implants as “anchors” for the full restoration. This technique offers many advantages over traditional dentures and can be generally be performed in an hour. The patient’s final prosthesis is created prior to surgery, allowing the patient to leave the office with their brand new smile.

Dental implant placement can help alleviate the sunken look that can occur with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone growth in the area around the implant. This process is called osseointegration and can also help prevent future bone loss.

With Teeth-In-An-Hour™, there is no palate covering the roof of the mouth, so speaking and eating are more natural and comfortable than with a traditional denture.

Easy to care for, this type of restoration can simulate the look and feel of natural teeth and stay fixed in place with the implants acting as anchors. Patients will not experience the typical rocking and movement or gum irritation associated with dentures. These restorations can often be placed in one office visit, reducing both overall cost and healing time for the patient.
