What Are Dental Implants?
|
• | Single tooth implants. These implants are designed to replace a single missing tooth. |
• | Multiple tooth implants. Multiple tooth implants take the place of traditionally fixed bridges and partial dentures, replacing several missing teeth in one area. The number of implants required to support your implant supported bridge depends on several factors, including the condition of your jawbone and the number of missing teeth. |
• | Implant supported dentures. When you are missing all of your teeth (whether in one arch or both), 6 to 8 implants can be placed in your jaw to support an implant supported denture, taking the place of a full denture. |
• | All-on-4® Treatment Concept. Implants require sufficient bone mass for successful osseointegration. All-on-4® Treatment Concept implants are designed for those who have lost bone mass, and would typically be ineligible for implants. An implant supported denture is supported by four strategically placed implants. |
• | Permanent. They do not need to be removed like dentures. |
• | Easy to care for. They can be brushed and flossed like your natural teeth. |
• | Comfortable. Your replacement teeth are supported by implants rather than your gums. |
• | Stable. They will not slide out of place, avoiding denture sores. |
• | Your adjacent teeth remain intact (they do not need to be prepared as they would be for a bridge). |
• | You are provided with a natural, beautiful smile. |
• | The integrity of your jawbone remains intact. You do not have to worry about bone loss and your face changing shape. |
