What we can build
Dental implant restorations
Our team works every week with local surgical teams to rebuild smiles on dental implants. Dental implants are a foundation on which there are multiple tooth replacement options that are custom built for you. Whether you need to replace one tooth, several teeth, or all of your teeth, dental implants are the foundation of the more premium prostheses that modern dentistry can offer.
Single tooth implants
A single tooth implant simply puts back a missing tooth, using 3 machined parts to put back a whole tooth- root to crown.
Fixed, full-arch prostheses
Fixed, full-arch prostheses are supported by at least 4 implants. They go in, and stay in, your mouth, just like natural teeth. This is the most tooth-like replacement option available.
Implant-retained overdentures
Using a system of o-ring like attachments, overdentures are a removable prosthesis that snaps onto dental implants in a way that greatly increases surety and staying power.
Implant supported bridges
When 3 or more teeth need to be replaced in a row, a bridge can allow you to replace multiple teeth on a smaller number of dental implants, which decreases the overall cost.
Downsides of dental implants
While dental implants are the best tooth replacement option currently available, they are not without risks, problems, and responsibilities. Dental implants are generally more expensive than non-implant options. They also take more time, as your body has to be given time to heal to and around the implant before we start building restorations. As with any medical procedure, some patients are not good candidates for dental implants, this can be for medical reasons, because there is not enough bone to place an implant, or because there is not enough restorative space to build on top of. While dental implants cannot get cavities they can get gum disease, they can also be very susceptible to changes in your bite over time, so it is extremely important that the implant is taken care of at home daily and with routine professional dental maintenance.
