Dental Implants
A dental implant is an option to replace a missing tooth. In this procedure, a small titanium screw is surgically implanted into the bone and allowed to heal. The bone grows around it forming a tight connection, which additionally slows or stops the bone loss that occurs when the root of a natural tooth is missing. Once the implant is firmly set in the mouth, the dentist then works to attach the replacement tooth onto the top of the implant. This permanent solution has the advantages over bridge work as it does not stress the surrounding teeth for support, and the adjacent teeth do not need to be drilled as an abutment for a fixed bridge.
Implants can also be used for support of an implant bridge. This is an alternative to partial dentures, and has several advantages. First, there is no adjustment period to acclimatize the patient who, once the work is done, only feels teeth, not metal supports intruding into the mouth. Second, this slows the bone loss occasioned by missing teeth. Third, there is no discomfort or difficulty in eating. And, best of all, of course, they don't have to be taken out all the time.
We also offer overdenture dental implants. These implants are used to stabilize lower dentures. The implants can be placed in one appointment and be immediately used. The cost is 50-70% of standard dental implants. Call for a free consult.
