There are many different types of implants. During our first consultation, we will discuss your implant options, timeline, and budget. To learn more, schedule a dental implant consultation with one of our dentists at the location most convenient to you.
Single Tooth Implant (Implant-Supported Crown)
If you are missing one tooth, a single implant and crown is a good option. This procedure replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth. The implant is left to heal for a period, allowing the bone to firmly bond to the implant. Once stable, the abutment connects the crown (tooth) to the implant.
Implant Bridge
This is a good option when more than one tooth is missing. We may place multiple posts in the area where teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw. We then attach a grouping of teeth, or ‘bridge’, to the posts by cementing them to each post’s abutment.
Implant-Supported Overdenture
When a person is missing all their teeth on the upper or lower jaw then an implant supported overdenture is a good option. It is also an alternative to regular dentures. It provides improved stability over a traditional denture and gives increased ability to chew, speak, and increased comfort. The implants are placed along with the overdenture and 3-4 months later, the patient returns to have that denture fitted and snapped into place. This device can also be removed by the patient for cleaning.
Implant-Supported Hybrid Denture
The difference between this and the Implant-Supported Overdenture is that this denture is permanently affixed to the implants and can only be removed by a dentist. This denture does not move at all once it is placed. It also requires more posts in the mouth.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
A full-mouth reconstruction consists of a complete upper or lower jaw replacement with a fixed or removable full-arch restoration. This includes crowns and bridges, all connected together. This incorporates multiple implants throughout the arch and requires multiple crowns and bridges.
