Dental implants are essentially artificial tooth roots surgically placed in your jawbone to replace missing teeth. They are typically made of biocompatible titanium, which means they integrate well with your jawbone and promote healthy bone growth around the implant.
Here’s a breakdown of what dental implants are and their key features:
Dental implants are a significant investment in your smile, but they offer numerous advantages over traditional options like denture implants.
This innovative approach involves creating a computer-generated surgical guide based on CT scans and 3D imaging of your jawbone. The guide acts as a template during surgery, ensuring precise implant placement for optimal results.
Missing teeth can impact your confidence and ability to eat comfortably. Implant-supported bridges offer a strong, natural-looking solution to restore your smile and function.
What are Implant-Supported Bridges?
Unlike traditional bridges that rely on healthy teeth for support, implant-supported bridges are anchored by dental implants. These small titanium posts are surgically placed in the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. A custom-made bridge is then attached to the implants, filling the gap left by missing teeth.
Considering replacing all your missing teeth in one arch? All-on-X implants offer a revolutionary solution for restoring a full smile with a minimum number of implants.
Clip-on dentures, also called implant-supported dentures, are a great option if you have missing teeth. They combine the low cost of regular dentures with the security of dental implants.
Implant Placement: 2-4 titanium posts are placed in your jawbone to hold the denture.
Locator Attachments: Special attachments secure the denture to the implants.
Removable Denture: Unlike fixed teeth, clip-on dentures can be easily removed for cleaning.
