Implants are the preferred way to replace missing teeth, as titanium implants will actually fuse with your jawbone to form a sturdy base for your new teeth. We can place your implants in-house using a computer-guided procedure planned with 3-D imaging from our cone beam CT scanner. This technology ensures that your implants are placed in the precise location needed for optimal stability and longevity.
You’ll find several options for using implants to replace your missing teeth:
- Implant-Crown Combination – Your dentist will place an implant where your tooth is missing, then top it with a new crown.
- Implant Bridge – This type of bridge fills the gap in your smile and anchors to two or more implants rather than your teeth. Since implants are used, your dentist won’t have to reshape any healthy teeth to support your bridge. Unlike a conventional bridge, your implant bridge also helps prevent bone loss.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – We can attach your dentures to a set of implants using a system of retention attachments. You’ll be able to remove them for cleaning, but virtually no movement happens while eating and talking.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – These are our most comfortable dentures, as a sturdy metal bar anchors your dentures to implants. They transfer chewing force to your jaw, not your gums, just like natural teeth. They are designed to be removed by a dentist. You keep them clean with simple brushing and flossing.
- All-on-X Dental Implants – We can attach a set of fixed teeth using as few as four implants per arch. Often you can get your implants and new teeth both on the same day.
- Mini Dental Implants – Mini implants can sometimes be used if your jawbone is unable to support standard implants.
- Full-Mouth Reconstruction – Your dentist will work with you to develop a comprehensive treatment plan to restore all your missing teeth.
No matter which kind of implant treatment you receive, we’ll make sure you are comfortable. You are welcome to relax with a neck pillow and cozy blanket. We use advanced techniques for administering local anesthesia that precisely numbs the area receiving treatment, not your entire lower face. If you feel nervous, you can choose to take a soothing oral sedative, which we can administer prior to treatment.
