Treatment Options
Single Tooth
A single dental implant can be used to replace a whole tooth. A dental implant is usually comprised of three parts; the implant fixture itself which is inserted directly into the jawbone, the abutment connecting the implant to the crown, and the visible crown.
Several Teeth
Dental implant bridges are used to replace several teeth. They work by spanning the gap where teeth are missing.
Unlike the standard bridge, where some healthy teeth may be cut down and crowned in order to anchor the prostheses in place, a dental implant bridge is held in place by implants that have been inserted directly into the jaw without compromising any existing healthy teeth.
All Teeth - Fixed
Losing all your teeth can considerably alter your appearance, your ability to eat normally and affect your general confidence. With a full, fixed restoration, it's possible to recover both function and appearance.
- Implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, potentially altering or preventing further loss of bone and gum, rebuilding your natural face shape.
- Implants provide a solid foundation for affixing the denture or bridge.
- The denture or bridge is fixed into place with screws, giving your new teeth a more permanent and natural feel.
All Teeth - Removable
Anchored onto dental implants that hold it in place, a removable overdenture replaces all your teeth and feels completely secure in your mouth. Unlike standard dentures, dentures secured by implants won't move while chewing or laughing; therefore, the discomfort associated with loose or ill-fitting dentures is removed. This option enables you to remove and clean the dentures yourself.
