We will provide an in-depth look into some of the most common scenarios and potential treatment options. This allows you to visualize how they could prove helpful for your distinctive situation.

Dental Implants are One of the Best Ways to Replace Missing Teeth

If you want to restore your lost teeth, dental implants are an excellent solution. Dental implants offer a secure and durable option for replacing missing teeth that look and function just like natural teeth. They provide stability, prevent bone loss in the jawbone area, and maintain facial aesthetics without impacting surrounding healthy tissue or adjacent teeth.

Numerous factors can result in tooth loss, such as fractures, decay or aging dental work, and gum disease. Some individuals are born without their adult teeth as well. Fortunately, dental implants provide a solution for all these cases by replicating both the shape and function of natural teeth.

When we talk about dental implants, it’s important to understand that the implant itself is only a part of the entire unit. This implant is inserted into your jawbone and acts as a root base for an abutment which connects to a crown or denture prosthesis (the visible portion). All these components together form what can be referred to as one single “dental implant”.

Dental Implants Can Be Placed As a Single or Multiple Unit

If you are looking to replace one tooth or all of your teeth, dental implants can offer a viable solution. They may be used individually or alongside other implants and can help provide better stability for dentures. You might be familiar with similar names for this procedure such as All on 4, hybrid implants, or teeth in a day.
