Dental Implant Restorations

Our office works with a trusted oral surgeon who surgically places implants at a precise location in the jawbone. After implantation, you’ll return to our office to top off your implant(s) with the following restoration types. 

• Single tooth restoration: Even if you have lost one tooth, replacing it as soon as possible is vital. Tooth loss diminishes your oral function, not to mention its effects on your aesthetics and confidence. Tooth loss also messes up your bite alignment, resulting in bruxism, TMJ disorder, and other health complications. Single-unit implants are used to replace singular missing teeth. Typically, we restore single-unit implants with custom-made, natural-looking crowns.  
• Multiple teeth replacement: Have you lost multiple teeth in a row? A dental bridge is a functional and conservative solution to rebuild your smile. A dental bridge spans an edentulous gap between two healthy teeth or implants. While conventionally natural teeth support traditional bridges, we prefer an implant bridge because it is stable and doesn’t alter the structure of otherwise healthy teeth. 
• Full arch replacement: Although it’s hard to imagine it, losing all your teeth in an entire arch or both is possible. Injury, advanced gum disease, and widespread decay are some causes of extensive tooth loss. Although you can replace your smile with conventional dentures, these tend to lose their grip over time as your jawbone shrinks. Full-mouth dental implants or the All-on-X technique present a stable and secure alternative for restoring your smile after extensive tooth loss. With as few as four implants per jaw, we can replace an entire arch of missing teeth with a natural-looking denture. Full arch implants can be removable (snap-in dentures), but many patients prefer fixed implant dentures because of their close resemblance to natural teeth.
