Replace Missing Teeth with Predictable, Natural-looking Dental Implants

Patients with missing teeth have several replacement options. Dental bridges can replace 1-3 missing teeth in a row. While effective, traditional bridges involve grinding down the nearby teeth to provide better support for the bridge. Dentures are another option, but they become unstable and uncomfortable over time.

Dental implants provide the ultimate experience of replacing single or multiple missing teeth. Here are the options available.

• Single-unit implants: The doctor surgically places a titanium fixture in the bone that once supported your natural tooth. The implant fuses with the jawbone over time to form a secure foundation for the prosthetic tooth. We usually pair an implant with a dental crown to replace individual missing teeth. The dental crown is customized to match the exact specifications of your teeth to create functional and aesthetically appealing outcomes.
• Implant-supported bridges: Have you lost a few teeth in one section of your mouth? Our implant bridge can restore aesthetics and functionality without affecting otherwise healthy teeth. Traditional bridges are secured by the neighboring teeth, which must be shaved to accommodate the shape of a crown. An implant bridge is a stand-alone restoration anchored directly in the jawbone—it doesn’t need the support of nearby teeth. An implant bridge is fixed, providing a natural feel and function similar to natural teeth.
• Implant-supported partial: A traditional partial is secured to the surrounding teeth with detachable metal clasps. Without root for stabilization, traditional partials may not be as secure. Experience the ultimate denture experience with dental implants. For implant partials, the dentist uses two or more implants to secure your restoration. The natural-looking partial snaps onto the implants for stability but can be taken out for cleaning.
