WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

The best dental implant services around. Dental implants not only give you a perfect smile, but they also help you regain functionality so every day dental activities don’t have to cause strain.

Dental implants are an effective way to replace missing teeth as they look, feel, and perform like natural teeth. The dental implant is made up of two parts: a titanium post and a prosthetic tooth. The titanium post is surgically implanted into the jawbone, and then the prosthetic tooth is attached to the post after the jawbone has healed. The prosthetic tooth can be made from a variety of materials, including ceramic and porcelain, to ensure a realistic and aesthetically pleasing result. Dental implants provide numerous benefits such as providing stability for dentures, improved oral health, and better chewing and speaking abilities.

TOOTH IMPLANTATION PROCESS

During the implant process, we want your journey to new teeth to be a no-brainer

BONE GRAFTING

Bone grafting involves grafting a piece of bone to the area surrounding the implant site in order to provide a strong foundation for the implant. First, a small incision is made in the gums to expose the jawbone. A small piece of donor bone is then placed into this area in order to rebuild the surrounding area and provide a strong foundation for the implant. The soft tissue is then stitched back together and allowed to heal. After the graft has healed, the implant can then be surgically implanted into the jawbone.

IMPLANT

The implantation process involves surgically placing the implant into the jawbone. First, a small incision is made in the gums to expose the jawbone. The implant is then carefully inserted into the jawbone and secured with special screws. Once the implant is securely in place, the soft tissue is stitched back together and allowed to heal. Finally, the prosthetic tooth is attached to the post after the jawbone has healed.

ABUTMENT

The abutment process involves securing the prosthetic tooth to the implant post. First, a small incision is made in the gums to expose the implant post. Then, a custom-made metal post, known as an abutment, is secured to the implant post. Once the abutment is securely in place, the prosthetic tooth is attached to the metal post. Finally, the soft tissue is stitched back together and allowed to heal.

RESTORATIVE RELATED:

ALL-ON-4 DENTAL IMPLANTS

All-on-4 dental implants are a treatment option for people who have lost most or all of their teeth. The All-on-4 technique uses just four dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth, which can be either fixed or removable. This approach can be a more cost-effective and time-efficient option than traditional implant-supported dentures, and it can also provide better stability and functionality for the patient. Additionally, All-on-4 dental implants can also be a good option for patients who have a limited amount of jawbone and are not candidates for bone grafting.

CROWNS & BRIDGES

Crowns and bridges are restorative dental treatments used to repair decayed, broken, or missing teeth. A crown is a custom-made artificial tooth that covers the entire visible part of a natural tooth, while a bridge is a prosthesis consisting of one or more artificial teeth held together by two crowns that are attached to healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Crowns and bridges can be made from different materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys.

DENTURES

Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth used to replace missing teeth. They usually consist of an acrylic base that fits over the gums and artificial teeth made from porcelain or plastic. Dentures can be full or partial and may need to be adjusted or replaced as your mouth changes with age.
