Dental Implants
|
• | Single tooth implants. A single tooth implant replaces an individual tooth. It uses a single post and crown to replace a single tooth. |
• | Multiple teeth implants. Multiple teeth implants, also called implant-supported bridges, are designed to replace two or more missing teeth in a row. |
• | Full arch restoration. A full arch restoration replaces an entire arch of missing teeth. A typical full arch restoration uses 6 to 8 implant posts to support an entire arch of replacement teeth. |
• | All-on-4. All-on-4 is a full arch restoration that is used when you do not have enough bone mass in your jaw to support the necessary 6 to 8 posts. Instead, this treatment uses only 4 posts, which are to maximize contact with your existing bone mass, avoiding the need for a bone graft. |
• | TreFoil. TreFoil is the latest full arch restoration option. Like All-on-4, it allows you to avoid the need for a bone graft. Instead of 4 posts, this treatment uses only 3. |
• | They look, feel, and function exactly like your real teeth. Your abilities to eat and speak are perfectly restored. |
• | Your smile looks completely natural. There is no telling the difference between your replacement teeth and your real teeth. |
• | Your new teeth are supported by the posts, which integrate into your jaw. This prevents pressure on your gums as well as denture sores. |
• | Your teeth are held securely in place and will not slip around or fall out. |
• | You can brush and floss your dental restorations just like your natural teeth. |
• | The posts restore stimulation to your jawbone, stopping and preventing bone loss. |
• | Surgery is required for implant placement. |
• | There is a recovery period that can last several weeks to several months. |
• | If you do not have enough bone mass in your jaw, you may require a bone graft first, which requires an additional surgery as well as an additional cost. |
