The use of implants has become a major type of reconstructive dentistry that permits teeth, individually, or in bridges or plates, to be replaced permanently.

The Long-Term Solution For Loose Dentures.

This market leading, minimally invasive system is transforming dental practices worldwide. Dr. X can immediately stabilize a patient's loose denture with this 90 minute procedure. The head of the implant is shaped like a ball and the retaining fixture acts like a socket. The O-Ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture at a predetermined level of force. When seated, the denture gently rests on the patient’s gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micro-mobility while withstanding natural lifting forces.

Whether missing one tooth or all their teeth, more and more people are replacing the loss with dental implants. This avoids the need to grind down healthy teeth for a bridge , and in most cases, eliminate the need for uncomfortable partials altogether. After a thorough examination, we will recommend one of several implant options, as well as discuss the need for bone grafts or any other procedures necessary for implant placement.

Most implant procedures involve placing metal anchors, that mimic natural roots in shape and function. They are placed carefully into the bone, usually through a small “window”and are either restored with a crown immediately, or are left undisturbed below the gumline for a few months to allow healing. once the implant has “taken” we take an impression, custom fit a post (abutment), and restore the implant with a crown or permanent bridge. After undergoing this multi-step process, many patients find they have a better feeling, better looking, and more stable solution to their tooth loss than more traditional dental reconstructive approaches.
