Many patients are surprised to learn our dental implant treatment provides a dental solution that looks, functions and even feels like one of your natural teeth.
A dental implant is a titanium post that is positioned into the jawbone beneath the gum line that allows your dentist to place a permanent crown or bridge. An implant can also serve as a post for securing dentures.
The ‘root’ portion of the implant is usually placed by an Oral Surgeon or a Periodontal specialist, while the ‘crown,’ or the visible portion of the tooth, is made and placed right in your general dentist’s office.
Implants are usually made of a synthetic, yet biocompatible material like metal or ceramic and Implants are so well designed that they mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.
In order for a dental implant to take hold, a candidate must have proper bone density and have a strong immune system. In all cases, dental implants require diligent oral hygiene.
Full-mouth implant restorations (also called All-on-X, All-on-4, Same-Day Dental Implants, etc) are a modern alternative to dentures, and are a long-lasting solution for replacing a full arch of missing or damaged teeth. This treatment typically uses as few as 4-6 dental implants to securely hold a complete arch of natural-looking replacement teeth.
Unlike traditional dentures, the All-On-X approach offers a fixed solution that feels more like your natural teeth. With this procedure, you can enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence again—without worrying about dentures slipping or feeling uncomfortable. It’s a transformative way to restore your smile and improve your quality of life!
