Replacing a Single Tooth
or Several Teeth
Traditionally, a three-crown "bridge" was done to replace 1-2 teeth.
Dental implants preserve the adjacent teeth instead of cutting them done.
Dental implants help stabilize the bone and prevent bone loss through their functional use.
Dental implants provide a strong foundation is made which can support various tooth / teeth replacement options.
Quite simply, dental implants are the most natural replacement for missing teeth.
Replacing a Missing Tooth
A natural tooth is anchored by its tooth root.
A dental implant replaces this root.
We make sure the implant is anchored securely.
Tooth roots attach firmly to the jawbone and keep your teeth stable when chewing solid foods.
Your general dentist then places a crown onto this artificial tooth root that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.
Quite simply, dental implants are the most natural replacement for missing teeth.
Replacing Several Missing Teeth
Implants can be as follows:
1 implant to replace 1 tooth.
2 implants to replace 2 teeth.
3 implants to replace 5-7 teeth.
4 implants to replace all upper teeth (except if poor bone)
5-6 implants have increased strength to replace all teeth.
Dental implants can now be used to anchor partial and full dentures.
This prevents the slipping, irritation, and pain associated with "floating" partials and dentures.
It also prevents the tedious removal of dentures for overnight soaking and cleaning.
Dental implants also eliminate the need for dental adhesives. This allows you to enjoy eating the foods you previously avoided.
Dental implants help preserve your jawbone and appearance.
