If you’re going to lose a tooth or have already been missing a tooth, dental implants are really becoming the gold standard of tooth replacement. The advantage of a dental implant over other types of replacement of teeth is that you can just replace the tooth with an artificial root and then a crown on top of that tooth, and it feels and looks just like your natural tooth.
Find the Dental Implant Restoration That Best Suits Your Smile
No matter your situation, we have dental implant solutions for you. We can even combine teeth implants and other restorative options for a comprehensive full-mouth reconstruction. Unlike some dentists, we both place and restore implants. There’s no need to see anyone else for any part of your implant treatment.
Following placement of your implants, Dr. Juarez or Dr. Arnold can give you back new teeth using one of several restorations. Your choices may include:
- Implant-Supported Dental Crowns – A beautiful new crown can be attached to an implant to restore your smile and renew your biting and chewing capacity. If you have one or two missing teeth in different parts of your mouth, single implants will work well.
- Implant-Supported Dental Bridges – If you have several missing teeth in a row, we may recommend a bridge supported by implants. Your dentist will secure a dental bridge to two or more implants to fill in the gap in your smile and make chewing easier. Unlike a partial denture, you won’t have to remove your bridge for cleaning every day.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – You’ve never had dentures that fit or performed this well! We’ll secure your new teeth to a set of dental implants using a system of snaps and balls. They’ll stay in place until you decide to remove them. You won’t worry about your teeth popping out of place and causing you embarrassment.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – This type of denture is similar to implant-retained dentures, except that your teeth will anchor to implants using a sturdy metal bar. This transfers all the forces of biting and chewing directly to your jawbone rather than your gums, making them our most comfortable and stable dentures.
- All-on-4® Dental Implants – If you’d like to have a full arch of beautiful replacement teeth that don’t have to be removed for cleaning, then All-on-4 may be just what you need. Using just four implants per arch, your dentist can secure a full arch of teeth to give you back a fully functional smile.
