Dental Implant Restorations
When you lose a tooth, there are a lot of options for replacing it. Dental implants
are as close to the real tooth as you can get.
Whether you have one missing tooth or several, you deserve a solution that
showcases a full, beautiful set of teeth while maximizing the long-term health
of your natural teeth and gums.
Dental implants provide the most advanced solution for patients who are missing
teeth. Tooth restorations with dental implants offer patients several advantages
because they are securely fastened in the jaw and fit in seamlessly with surrounding
teeth.
Unlike fixed bridges and partial dentures - around which gums and bones can
recede and leave a visible defect - dental implants don't rely on the structural
support of adjacent teeth. Implants ensure jawbone preservation that keeps the
bone healthy and strong. Implants can be used to replace one or all teeth and
provide an excellent alternative to dentures.
Benefits:
- The implant will integrate (bond) with the existing bone.
- The new implant will support your teeth firmly and safely.
- Your new implant-supported crown look like a natural, healthy tooth.
- You will no longer have pain during talking or eating.
- The dental implant will prevent progressive bone loss.
- Implants have a proven scientific basis.
Single Implants
If you are having problems chewing due to concern over a tooth breaking or
because of a missing tooth, then a single implant is an excellent solution.
A single implant is the equivalent of an artificial tooth and root. The procedure
creates a socket for the root of the implant and then precisely secures the
implant in the jawbone. The implant, which is made of surgical grade titanium,
is then allowed to heal and integrate in to the jawbone, keeping the implant
firmly in place. A custom-built post and crown are installed over the implant
fixture to complete the artificial tooth. After completion of the procedure,
both the tooth and smile are as good as new.

Implant Bridges
Implant Bridges are an excellent solution when there are several missing teeth
in your mouth. The procedure is basically the same as the single tooth implant
procedure, except that we can replace multiple teeth using just 2 implants.
