Tooth 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:

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.

All-on-4 Implant Denture

This procedure, also known as an all-on-4 is a modern implant denture that allows patients who are missing all of their teeth in one or both arches to restore a full arch of teeth using only 4 implants as anchors.
This solution offers many advantages over conventional dentures.
Easy to care for, this denture can simulate the function and aesthetic of natural teeth and stay immovable with the implants acting as anchors. Patients will not feel the rocking or gingival irritation associated with dentures. Patients can often leave the same day with a full arch of teeth, reducing overall cost and healing time for the patient.
Very much like implant-supported dentures, All-on-4 can help alleviate the sunken look that can occur with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone growth in the area surrounding the implant. This process is known as osseointegration.
With all-on-4, there is no plate covering the palate, so eating and talking are more comfortable and more natural than with a conventional denture.

Guided Implant Surgery

Using iCATs and virtual treatment planning, and with specialized training, guided implant surgery is possible.
Using a physical or a computerized 3-D model, surgical placement of tooth implants and the following restorative work can be designed virtually to create the ideal patient treatment plan. These simulations allow the doctor to take different aspects of implant placement into consideration, resulting in predictable aesthetics and function for the patient’s final restoration. Working with a 3D model also allows the patient understand the process and visualize the end result.
When treatment planning is done, specialized software can be used to create a surgical guide for use during implant placement. The guide directs the exact location, angle, and depth of the implant placement. The use of the surgical guide increases the accuracy, efficiency, safety, and predictability of the procedure.

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.
