Permanent Tooth Replacement With Dental Implants
Dental implants are surgical-grade root devices that support permanent tooth prosthetics that are manufactured to last a lifetime. These artificial roots are anchored in the bone beneath the gums where they become fused into the jaw. A crown is mounted atop the implant for a long-lasting and natural looking smile. Many dentists and patients prefer dental implants because they offer the same function as natural teeth and also help prevent bone atrophy in the jaw. Dental implants may be used to replace a single missing or damaged tooth or to restore an entire smile.
Did you know…
that approximately 30 million people live with no natural teeth in one or both jaws? But more and more dental patients are opting for dental implants as a means of tooth replacement. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry reports that 3 million people currently have dental implants – a number that is rapidly growing by about 500,000 per year. Modern titanium implants were first developed in the 1950s, but archaeologists have determined that ancient Egyptians and Mayans were the first cultures to implant artificial teeth.
Choose the Right Implant Solution for You
Every patient has unique needs when it comes to tooth replacement. We provide several effective implant options to restore your smile:
- Single-Tooth Implants: Perfect for replacing a single lost tooth, this treatment uses a titanium implant topped with a personalized crown that matches your existing teeth perfectly.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: When you're missing several teeth next to each other, these bridges connect to dental implants for exceptional strength and long-lasting results compared to traditional bridges.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: An excellent choice for patients missing many or all teeth. These dentures attach securely to a small number of carefully positioned implants, eliminating the need for messy adhesives while providing a comfortable, stable fit.
- All-on-4 Implants: This technique rebuilds a complete set of upper or lower teeth using only four implants. It offers faster treatment and quicker recovery while requiring fewer implants than other full-mouth options.
