What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, a custom restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant for a natural appearance and function. Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and perform like your natural teeth, making them one of the most reliable tooth replacement options available.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a wide range of advantages for both your oral health and overall quality of life.
- Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants are custom-designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and attractive smile.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last for many years, often providing a lifetime solution for missing teeth.
- Improved Functionality: Implants restore your ability to chew and speak clearly, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort or worry.
- Bone Preservation: Because implants are placed in the jawbone, they help stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.

Implant Supported Bridges
An implant supported bridge is a restorative solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. This restoration typically requires two implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides a functional and aesthetic replacement for a patient’s natural teeth.
Implant Supported Dentures
For patients who are missing many or all of their teeth, implant supported dentures may be an alternative to traditional dentures. This solution requires the placement of two or more implants. In order to replace a full arch denture, a minimum of four implants is generally recommended. Eligibility for this solution is dependent upon a number of factors, with jaw bone density being one of the most significant determining factors.
Traditional dentures rely on an acrylic base that sits directly on the gums, held in place by a paste or adhesive. Using implants as supports for dentures allows for a smaller and more comfortable base and less shifting of the prosthesis during use.
Implants can support both full and partial dentures as well as both fixed and removable dentures. If a removable denture is selected, the denture will “snap” on to the implant rather than requiring the use of denture paste or adhesives.
