Dental Implants

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements. Tooth implants provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. Dental implants, which are placed in the bone, are anchors made of a bio-compatible metal named titanium. The anchors start to fuse with the bone over three to six months. After the fusing process, known as osseointegration, abutment posts are inserted into the implant fixtures to allow for the permanent attachment of the implant crowns.

Types of Dental Implants:

All-on-4 Implant Denture

This denture, also known as an all-on-4 is a unique implant solution that allows patients who are missing all of their upper or lower teeth to restore an entire arch of teeth using only 4 implants as anchors.
This technique offers multiple advantages over traditional dentures.
Easy to care for, this denture can imitate the look and feel of natural teeth and stay immovable with the implants acting as permanent anchors. Patients will not experience the typical rocking and movement or gum irritation associated with traditional dentures. Patients can often have a full arch of teeth the same day, reducing both overall healing time and cost for the patient.
Just like other types of implant restorations, All-on-4 can help prevent the sunken look that can come with jawbone loss by stimulating bone retention in the area surrounding the implant. This process is known as osseointegration.
With this type of fixed full denture, there is no resin or metal covering the roof of the mouth, so speaking and eating are more natural and comfortable than with a traditional denture.

Implant-Supported Over Dentures

Implant-supported dentures can be either removable or fixed. This solution requires the placement of two or more dental implants. If a removable option is selected, the denture will anchor onto the implant to gain more retention rather than the use of denture adhesives. Removable dentures can be taken out and cleaned at night.
This option offers many advantages over traditional dentures.
Easy to care for, this solution can mimic the function and aesthetics of natural teeth and stay in place with the implants acting as anchors. Patients will not experience the typical movement and rocking or gingival irritation they usually have with dentures.
Dental implant placement can also help alleviate the sunken look that can occur with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone retention in the area surrounding the implant. This process is known as osseointegration and can also help prevent future bone loss.

Dental Implant-Supported Bridge

An implant-supported fixed partial denture is a prosthetic solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. The bridge replaces multiple adjacent missing teeth as an alternative to a denture. This restoration usually requires at least two dental implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides an aesthetic and functional replacement for the patients’ natural teeth.

Guided Implant Surgery

Using Cone Beam CT and restorative virtual treatment planning, and with specialized training, guided implant placement is possible.
Surgically placing dental implants and following prosthetic work using a virtual 3D model can create the ideal treatment plan. These simulations allow the doctor to take multiple aspects of implant placement and restoration into consideration, resulting in optimal aesthetics and function for the patient’s final restoration. Working with a 3D model also lets the patient picture the procedures and visualize the end result.
Once planning is done, specialized computer applications can be used to fabricate a surgical guide for use during implant placement surgery. This guide directs the exact angulation, location, and depth of the implant. The use of the guide increases the accuracy, efficiency, safety and predictability of the surgery.
