Our Customized Tooth Restoration Options
Single Dental Implants
Single dental implants offer a reliable and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. With this procedure, a titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as a sturdy foundation for a natural-looking dental crown.
The crown is custom-made to match your existing teeth’ shape, size, and color, providing seamless integration into your smile. With proper care and maintenance, single dental implants can restore function and aesthetics, allowing you to enjoy a confident smile for years.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are a versatile solution for replacing missing teeth, providing stability and functionality to your smile. This restoration consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
By filling in gaps caused by missing teeth, dental bridges can improve chewing ability, speech clarity, and facial aesthetics. Dental bridges can last many years with proper care, enhancing oral health and confidence.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures offer a secure and stable solution for individuals missing multiple teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which rely on adhesives or suction, implant-supported dentures are anchored securely to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone.
This provides a more natural feel and functionality, allowing for improved chewing efficiency and speech clarity. With proper care and maintenance, implant-supported dentures can offer long-lasting comfort and confidence to those seeking to restore their smile.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
Full mouth dental implants offer a comprehensive solution for individuals with extensive tooth loss or severe dental issues. This procedure involves the placement of dental implants throughout the entire dental arch, providing a stable foundation for a full set of replacement teeth.
Full mouth dental implants restore the function and aesthetics of the smile by mimicking the structure of natural teeth. With implant technology and techniques advancements, patients can enjoy improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and oral health.
Am I A Candidate for Implants?
What to Expect from Your Dental Implant Treatment
Step 1: Consultation & Planning
Our dental implant process will begin with a simple conversation. We will discuss your medical history, dental concerns, and smile goals. We will then conduct a complete oral exam and obtain digital diagnostics and X-rays of your oral anatomy. With this information, we will create a customized treatment plan for a smile that enhances your facial features, has a stable foundation, and is functional, allowing you to enjoy your lifestyle to the fullest. Once your treatment plan is created, we’ll schedule your procedure.
Step 2: Procedure
On the day of your procedure, we will administer your chosen sedation option and make small incisions to your gums. We will place implant posts in the areas with the greatest jawbone density and place an abutment connector on top. If you are doing an implant denture, you may be given a temporary set of teeth that will allow you to enjoy the benefits of your new smile immediately after surgery.
Step 3: Healing & Final Restorations
Your implants will integrate with your jawbone, creating a stable foundation for your smile. After the integration process is finished and your mouth is completely healed, we will install your permanent prosthesis, enabling you to enjoy a lifetime of beautiful smiles. You can extend their longevity by consistently caring for your implants at home and attending routine appointments!
