Dental Implants

Dental implants are the replacement of tooth roots in the mouth. Tooth implants provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable prostheses. Dental implants, which are placed in the jawbone, are anchors made of a metal called titanium. The posts start to fuse with the jawbone over the course of a few months. After the fusing process, known as osseointegration, implant abutments are inserted into the anchors to allow for the permanent attachment of the replacement teeth.

Types of Dental Implants:

Implant-Supported Over Dentures

Implant-supported dentures can be either removable or fixed. This prosthetic requires the placement of two to eight implants. If a removable option is selected, the denture will sit onto the implant rather than the use of denture adhesives. Removable dentures can be taken out for cleaning regularly.
This option provides more advantages over traditional dentures.
Easy to care for, this solution can mimic the aesthetic and function 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 they usually have with dentures.
Dental implant placement can also help alleviate the sunken look that can happen with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone growth in the area around the implant. This process is called osseointegration and can help prevent future jawbone loss.

Implant-supported Bridge

An implant-supported bridge is a prosthetic solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. The bridge usually replaces three or more adjacent missing teeth as an alternative to a denture. This prosthetic typically requires at least two implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides function and aesthetics to restore the patient's natural teeth.

All-on-4 Implant Denture

This procedure, often called an all-on-4 is a modern implant denture that allows patients who are missing all of their upper or lower teeth to restore an entire arch of teeth using 4 dental implants only.
This solution offers multiple advantages over conventional dentures.
Easy to care for, this solution can simulate the look and feel of natural teeth and stay in place with the implants as anchors. Patients will not feel the typical rocking and movement or gum irritation associated with traditional dentures. Patients can often have a full arch of teeth in one day, reducing both overall cost and healing time for the patient.
Very much like other types of implant restorations, Full arch implant prosthetics help prevent the sunken look that can come with jawbone loss by stimulating bone retention in the area around the implant. This process is osseointegration.
With all-on-4, there is no resin or metal covering the roof of the mouth, so eating and talking are more natural and comfortable than with a conventional denture.

Guided Implant Surgery

With Cone Beam CT scans and virtual treatment planning, guided implant surgery is possible.
Using a physical model or a virtual 3D model, implant surgery and the following prosthetic work can be designed virtually to create the ideal treatment plan. These virtual plans allow the doctor to take multiple aspects of implant placement and restoration into consideration, resulting in predictable aesthetic outcome, function and longevity for the patient’s final restoration. Using a 3D model also allows the patient picture the process and visualize the outcome before it is finalized.
When planning is done, specialized computer applications can be used to create a surgical guide to assist in the implant placement surgery. The guide directs the exact angulation and depth of the implant placement. The use of the guide increases the accuracy, predictability, safety, and efficiency of the procedure.
